    So at this point, these people are systematically committing suicide by political association.

    It may be fucked up but my only reaction to reading this sentence was “I wish they’d do it faster”. I don’t think I have any empathy left for them.

    To be clear, I don’t think that’s something to be proud of. In fact, I think it’s a terrible sign of how divided we are as a nation. Nothing good can come from feeling that way about a significant portion of your fellow citizens. Still, it is an accurate description of my feelings.

      We’ve tried for years to tell them, without political sway or swagger, that the direction they’re going in with this poor excuse of a ‘man’ is devastating them inward and outward. The laundry list of evidence is there.

      But all that they’re going to do is yell at us about how we’re a part of Deep State, our news is ‘FAKE’, our findings are from sources distrusted by them. That because we’re smarter than them by being informed, their insecurity levels will reach all time highs and we’ll be threatened against through use of force by their choice.

      These are really the kinds of people that just has to learn the hard way. They’re the kind of people that stay behind during tornadoes and hurricanes as they all go “wow…that’s amazing” as everything is destroyed around them and they’re at high risk of being taken along for a painful ride.
