    Only until it affects them do they realize rights are for everyone. Bit by bit, things will turn, but boy is it taking a long time.

      The majority of these “people” who got their faces eaten by fascist leopards have outright said that they still support Trump

        They’re sick, and I don’t think there’s an easy cure. And that fuck pusing up Daisys won’t be a cure, just subside symptoms for a little bit.

          Yeah, just like his counterpart in Russia, Trump’s only a symptom. The real sickness is right wing conservatism, and they’re literally going to kill us all if they have their way with climate denialism.

          These people need to all be treated as existential threats. The vast, vast majority of them can’t be fixed.

        So you see, the upper echelon want us fighting with ourselves. The more you feed into it, the more you play into their hands.

        Yes, you will never have the same views as those folks, but don’t take your eye off the ball. A fragmented population is much easier to control.

        I’m not saying fully forgive or that you’ll be best friends, but it’s your countryman. Unite against the real enemy.

          Education is the only long term answer. RWA personality disorder is a genetic predisposition, but the brainwashing that turned these people into self-destructive fanatics, utterly subjugated by the drum of fear, anger, and hate, is frustrated directly by all forms of education, since lack of it is what the brainwashing exploits, directly.

          Unfortunately, once they have breached that gap and filled the fanatic’s mind with corrupted worldviews over decades, that represents a complete education of fear, anger, and hate, and their personality becomes so entangled with the corruption that little of who they once were or could be remains any longer.

          To escape that cult and become a former fanatic while possible requires intervention from loved ones, assuming any remain who they haven’t alienated, followed by a long personal journey to excise all the fear anger and hate, salvaging whatever uninfected shreds of their former self might remain, and growing anew.

          But that is a best case scenario. Most of these fanatics will remain as a cancer among us until they die.

          They’re not “my countrymen”, I’m European. The US has made it extremely clear that they’re an enemy now, and I have absolutely zero empathy for stupid fucks like these who helped bring the Trump regime into power.
