Agreed. Hate in your heart mostly hurts you. I have spent a lot of time getting hate out of my body because I was raised in exactly the circumstances described. It was a long, hard fight which I think I am very close to winning.
MAGA still needs to burn. People are free to leave the organization out of self-preservation if nothing else, but no mercy for the org and what it's done. I don't hate any of them, even the scum at the top, but the movement must die. The people that are part of it have choices to make.
The end result of endless tolerance is annihilation. There is a line, and they've crossed it.
But if I don't have my hate, what's going to keep me warm at night?
The burning corpses of your enemies. Just don't be a hater while you're warming up.
You don't have to be tolerant to the intolerant but in the end you have to get people on your side not continually drive them away. I'm really frickin tired of the endless left-wing purity tests. You don't agree on subsection 13 paragraph 5 of the manifesto? You're out!
The other day I was listening to Jon Stewart and the topic of the "privilege" of the white working poor came up. You can argue that even they have privilege over minorities, sure, but I bet that isn't how it feels to them. There was some acknowledgement that they can also have hard lives but in the end the conclusion, albeit tongue-in-cheek, was "they just have to stop being so fragile."
Good luck with that messaging. We ridicule and belittle them, have been for decades, and then wonder why they turn to someone who promises to care for them (even if he's obviously lying)
They don't get pronouns? They must be evil or stupid or both. Look at the dumb, ignorant rednecks. And of course the (social-)media loves it, hell play up both sides of "who said the worst thing this week" and watch the clicks soar.
And we wonder why they fall for the "anti-woke" rhetoric.
