    100% agree but we need them in order to right the ship rebuild the ship, and holding a grudge is how we pushes these idiots further right into the open arms of grifters ready and willing to use them against us. We have to be the grifters. We have to grift them into lowering their defenses, taking in new information, and making logical decisions. And some, I assume, are good people (sorry!) led astray by sixty years of propaganda and republican weakened education and mental healthcare systems. We can feel however we want inside our hearts, but like MLK said “Hate begets hate; violence begets violence; toughness begets a greater toughness. We must meet the forces of hate with the power of love.”

    I know, I hate it too, but I will meet that hate with love, too. I guess.
