    Yeah thats why I mentioned it. Like I get it, there’s some pretty aggressive evil that they cheered on. But either we move the critical mass back or we suffer the consequences. Trust is broken but at a certain point you’re desperate enough to not need trust.

    I’m not saying to compromise our morals, please not that, I’m the second under the bus, but we can talk to people like they’ve been led to evil rather than like they’re comprised wholly of evil.

      Agreed… 100%… I haven’t been enjoying the comments as much recently because of all the toxic name calling and mockery… coming from the left….

      And not in an ironic or funny way, just being hurtful for no reason…

      I can see hating on Ted Cruz or other republican politicians, but we’re talking about voters… who have been lied to and misled… just like blue maga has been lied to about Biden and Kamala and Buttigieg and Obama, etc… when all these politicians are all basically on the same side of corporate America…. It’s really sad …

        It’s because of catharsis and because many are behaving evilly. It’s because they are supporting fascism, it’s just that now is a time to try to get them to stop and tactically the best call is to not be an asshole to them.

        And no, these politicians are not all basically the same. Yes on some issues all of them suck, but not to the same degree and not on every issue.
