@vestralux

I am reminded once again of that old Warrior's Proverb.... however  simplistic it may appear to be....

'Walk in your strength

Choose your battles wisely

And keep your sense of humor 

To save your sanity '

?

Most of the T-supporters, are not monsters or horrible people, IMO.  Most of them are merely fools:  pitiable pawns in a much larger game.

Well, I did call them Devil worshippers. nothing personal. My whole family are Republicans. My Parents, daughter, and one niece were and are democrats, and I have a big family. My sister before she started losing her mind finally got to the point that trump had faults, but she had been a republican her whole life and would still vote for him.

I would certainly add to the list:

Fool

Pitiable Pawns (always appreciate alliteration!)

Blinded by Treason

Covidiots (where applicable)

@vestralux Thank you.  I don't want people to feel shamed here, but this dehumanizing vitriol has got to stop. People are allowed to be angry, hell, I get really pissed off, but please do not dehumanize people. Do not call them monsters or creatures.  This is the kind of language that starts war.  

And please everyone here, call out any posts that incite violence or click the button that reports the post to the Administrator.  

These posts will be removed.   I understand how the writers feel. We're upset.  We hate injustice and lies.  But no good comes from violent language.  Even if we try to soften it by saying that of course we didn't mean any kind of violence, there are those who read this who will get riled to violence.  We are better than that.

I don't read this thread as often as I used to. 

I agree with the wise words of @Vextralux.  

Speaking strictly for myself, I actual do find some of the insults listed as dehumanizing.  They actually make me wince when I read them.  I didn't like it when President Obama was in office and people would refer to him or his supporters with similar language.  I would wince then too.

So yeah ... there was this guy running around in SF many, many moons ago, and he had this magical truth serum... his name was --Owsley Stanley, but everyone called him Owsley and even called this magical stuff after him.

He was a spiritual revolutionary, and one of his favorite 'quotes' was " With deep catharsis comes deep enlightenment "

Or in other words : " Let it all hang out baby! "

I always liked that guy ?

Simply put: We are in a battle of good vs evil.

And no one is coming to save us.

We must save ourselves.
