I don’t hate my political enemies. I don’t even hate MAGA. They’re just people who’ve been told over and over that the system is rigged against them, and they’re angry. I understand that. We’re going to have to build political coalitions to create lasting change. That’s starts with empathy.

Except, they're mostly racist and their true fear is that they, being white, will become the minority and people will treat them as they treat minorities now, and I despise them for that.

I don’t have the energy to hate but these people just a year ago would’ve laughed at you if your house was on fire with you in it. They are the most willfully ignorant people who choose to be manipulated. I say concentrate solidifying the base to get them to vote consistently.

I wish I shared your optimism about them. Given the chance, they'd burn your house down with your family in it; simply for being "woke". At their best, they're troglodytes with Fox News and an internet connection.

I don’t actually have that much optimism. I think their insistence on victimhood and grievance has destroyed America. But they ARE people and fundamentally people have commonalities.

Thank you for responding. I truly wish I had your benevolence. I don't. I won't. These people cheer for hate. Murder. Inhumanity. They're animals. And need to be put down as such.

Nah, fuck them and everything they stand for. They wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire. Time to stop trying to beat them with kindness. Stoop to their level, and lower.

I’m not advocating for kindness and love. I’m advocating for winning, and that requires talking, which requires at least seeing them as humans first

I understand. I just am so done with them and their bigotry and hatred. It’s exhausting. If I stop being emotional about it I can see from your perspective too.

thats not gonna stop them from putting you up against a wall. THEY hate you. and their news and politicians reinforce that hate. theyd gladly kill you and not lose a minute of sleep. fuck MAGA theyre irredeemable pieces of trash.

The struggle is a class one, not a party one. Workers have been screwed utterly. The response is either hard right or tax the rich. MAGA tried hard right and it is crashing and burning. Now we need to get them on side to tax the rich.
