So I just want to say that I wasn't the only one being fooled. My entire family were diehard MAGAs. We were brainwashed I guess. We were being lied to by the media who constantly told us that the far left progressive were Communist lunatics who wanted to destroy this country. And I feel like such an idiot right now! It was this orange Hitler who all along had been wanting to destroy this country. We see it now! You can't imagine how much I hate myself for being fooled. I'm so ashamed of myself. I will never ever trust Republicans ever again!

Tell me: why is it that reasonable people always have to take a step towards the enemy and make them feel better about themselves? When this idiot voted fascist, he made no concessions. And now that he's had a change of heart, we have to be kind to him and welcome him to the fold?

No. Just fuck off. Intolerance goes both ways. I have no sympathy for Nazi enablers, no matter how repentant they appear to be. Let them taste a bit of their own medicine.

And that's why you have a problem.

The problem we have right now is not caused by Nazi-intolerant people.

The losing side voted/ did not vote along the lines defined by the genocide issue. Part of the problem is trying to frame everything in black/ white and using extreme verbiage when characterizng the other side, in order to elicit an emotional response for clout and to discourage discourse. There's your problem right there.

Yes, except that tolerating intolerance is the reason the U.S. is in the circumstances it's in.

The greater of these two evils is 100% tolerating intolerance.
