I agree; and you don’t just see it in people who are in a position to make those kinds of decisions for others. You also see it every day in middle-class or working-class people who honestly couldn’t care less if children are dying in cages at border patrol facilities or if millions are living in poverty due to social inequities or if the next generation will survive the effects of climate change. These are people who probably won’t ever commit murder directly but who wouldn’t hesitate to press a button if there existed a consequence-free mechanism for doing away with those they find inconvenient.
