11. Let the innocent cast the first stone. America is not exactly the shining city on the hill.

What about the Good/Petti murders?

What about SCOTUS gutting the Voting Rights Act?

What about the administration gutting the meager social safety net here and abroad?

What about Congress (including some Democrats) giving Israel the weapons to continue genocide in Gaza?

What about non-stop gun violence by both citizens and law enforcement that takes far more lives than the Iranian morality police?

What about ICE rounding up brown people for the crime of being brown and tossing them in for profit concentration camp?

What about right-wing christian nationalists praying all over the Donald in the People's House?

You get the picture. I could go on and on.

Maybe we should get our house in order before we try to police the rest of the world.
