Hate is powerful. In fact it’s powerful enough to convince people to destroy the programs they benefit from, to give more money to the very rich, because they somehow believe it hurts the people they don’t like.

Adam is a good guy. And he's right. Here's the thing, decent people, by and large, think everyone is just like them. But the rich & powerful generally don't think like that. They think others are below them. A tiered system. Unworthy of the social programs that keep them alive and functioning.

MAGA hates Democrats with a passion. Turn on Fox or Newsmax. You will see them say Democrats are communists and Marxists who are out to destroy America every single day, multiple times per day. Rightwing media is poison. It exists to divide America into groups that hate each other.

No, it’s more than just hating other races. They hate city folks. They hate educated folks. Rightwing media convinced them higher paid, educated people who tend to live in cities/suburbs look down on them. On top of that, rightwing media made them believe Christians are being “persecuted.”

I am in the same situation. I was raised in the Deep South by a blue collar, middle class family. My first home was a single wide mobile home. I struggled as a single parent at one point. But, my graduate degree in education with a focus on science makes me an elitist. I don’t get it.

Hate is the bacon and egg sandwich people want to consume every day despite the fact it will eventually clog your arteries and kill you. Hate is like a bad breakfast you need to eat because at the moment it makes you feel full and happy.

I can, without a doubt, state that it doesn't work that way. As a retired liberal with limited income, what hurts me are the same policies that will hurt them, even if it hasn't become painfully aware to them as of yet.

So many times over the course of history, hatred of “the other” has been used to gain power. What frustrates the 💩 out of me are the religious folks who ignore the hate to attain political power in the system. They focus on Old Testament bible quotes but totally ignore the teachings of Jesus. 😡

Stupid people don’t operate logic and reasoning. They operate on emotion. Emotion, unlike facts, can be controlled through propaganda The billionaires convinced them under Regan that greed is good The billionaires convinced them under trump that hate is good Now they are saying pedophilia is good

Yes, because it bypasses the rational mind and acts straight on the deeper emotional part of the mind, triggering fight or flight. This is why MAGA dont want people to get educated, it makes them easier to manipulate through fear and hate

Would have been a *great* idea to toss prime hatemongers like [checks notes] Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Lee Atwater, Newt Gingrich and on and on and on... out of the party *decades* ago. But they were the ones who were winning you elections, weren't they?

And 60+ years of GOP Southern Strategy and deliberate evisceration of democracy via plutocratic policy to create a tiny white oligarchy created a WHOLE lot of hate to deliberately bring the country to this exact situation.

It's the Republican way. Been going on since Republicans adopted the fairy tale of Reaganomics. When has a Republican presidential administration or a Republican-majority Congress EVER been "fiscally conservative"?

The old expression, "cut off your nose to spite your face" quickly comes to mind. To blindly hate other so strongly that you will advocate actions because they will be detrimental to them without considering that you, too, may suffer is the height of stupidity and is truly sad.

Don’t take away their agency. They chose this. They’re disgusting, despicable, racist, misogynistic, self-loathing homophobic traitors who recognize one of their own in Trump, Ted Cruz, MTG, Lindsey Graham, Kristi Noem, you name them —and they truly deserve all the misery they wish upon others.

Yes. Which begs the question: how do we make this ugly cycle of hate-fueled destruction stop? We are t enough. If we were, we wouldn’t be here. We need some of them to wake TF up. It’s hard not to despair. Or emigrate.

Don’t be distracted, just focus all your attention on #EpsteinGate Donald Trump would arrest his mother, if it would distract his MAGA supporters!

When a society is run by fearmongering and indoctrinated into ignorance and blind belief by dangerous "Christian" sects the result is an ignorant population that praise the rich and vote against their own interests. Trump loves the poorly educated because they are easier to manipulate and control!

Whiteness is poisonous in all ways, but often its most visible manifestation is the fragility of whites who still fail despite a system promising them success, directing their anger at non-whites who still succeed despite a system designed for them to fail.

This is absolutely true. And we also absolutely live in a country that demonstrably can't look past the color of the skin holding that blood in place.

Yes, but that is not the story poor whites are told. They are told by those capitalists that if they fail it's because they didn't work hard enough, and their slot for success was taken by a brown person they were forced to hire. Both of which are demonstrably false.

Please don't reduce everything to race: it's inaccurate, alienating and unhelpful since people can't change their race. The medicare cuts come from persuading one working class person that others are taking advantage of "the system" (hence the work requirements).

There’s so many wonderful Chris tiaaans that hate. 👹 They’re disgusting racists & bigots that fuqued us because of their particular brand of Chris tiaaanity. They think they’re good people and I’ll never forgive them. 👹💩👹

It’s insane what people are getting arrested for.Bump into ice Nazis is assault.Fighting not to be kidnap by faceless Nazis and thrown into unmarked car.Is assaulting officers! Waving a flag at a protest is use of deadly weapon.I love mom tattoos gets you arrested Beaten to a pulp without resisting

Being stupid as hell also helps when it comes to this thought process. I believe we give people too much credit. There are people who, at some point, must be told this. I am aware that this would anger some, but if it does, that person might be the one that fits this description.

When I realized there were real people going to conventions about Q anon I knew we were a lost society. I just think we need to learn how to mind fuck them back to us. Pardon my language.

Your language is fine. If you come up with a way, let us all know. I've never been encouraged by the people who've bought into the authoritarians cruel edge--scapegoating others--, as many have a way of believing for all time that they were right to blame others.

This country was founded by white male people from the UK who looked a lot like the Heritage Foundation. By 'people', they meant white men. What do you expect? The struggle to make the Constitution match reality has been ongoing, and the Trump regime has completely given up on it, evidently.

They do. They wear it as a badge of pride... at least until the bailout checks from Trump aren't quick in coming. Then they waver... But eventually, the right-wing media sphere convinces them that, in the Glorious Spiritual War for America, they are the noble sacrifices and will be honored.

Adam, is there ANY chance we see the FULL Epstein files with Trumps name removed? Do you think when Musk went into all these departments with DOGE, including when they stormed FBI, that he was able to get a copy of the file? I don't think Musk said what he said without seeing it

I also think the reason Trump is not retaliating against Musk for his posts, is because Trump KNOWS that not only did Musk see the file but that he has a copy of it. Trump retaliates against everyone for much much less so it makes no sense not going after Musk unless there is fear

So from now on YOU USA- CITIZENS are the NEW NAZIS. Just because YOU do NOT STOP getting people in your country TREATED like animals Disgusting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... But of course you will probably find someone to shift the blame onto. Just like my forefathers here. Lots of fun 👍

At least the genocide of turk-ey-s 😉 Yes you look into an angry future. Nobody will come&set you free from dictatorship like GER was lucky '45 And so the point from which on you can START BEGGING the rest of the FREE world to FORGIVE you your CCamps will take longe time to be reached. If at all

Narcissistic personalities are damaging. They damage relationships. They are toxic ppl who are self serving & self destructive. I know because I have family w/ NPD. It's a curse. It took years to figure out how to cope. Thankfully there are exel. resources online today for victims, 0 for them.
