And every now and again I pray for their enlightenment and repentance. But I’m not about to hold my breath waiting for their getting of wisdom and I don’t feel like standing in the way when some celestial 2/4 comes swinging at their foreheads when their willful refusal to face reality heads for them. They need to feel the 2x4: I’m not the one to swing it, but I don’t have to cushion the blow for them. Either.

but that kind of prayer is just one of many that continue to go unanswered.

I doubt the celestial 2X4 will work either, I've seen too many accounts from medical people about the anti-vax and covid deniers continuing their ways right up to their deaths.

the freedom to choose.

More than a few folks who bought into the right-wing lie are choosing to be idjits.

beside Trump is doing god's work

I told him that the rate at which Trumpies are dying off, this must be their rapture

Is he sure it's not the other dude

I've not been welcomed back since...and I'm glad my mother stopped going as well

I had a couple of incidents when one of them went after me (a 71 year old woman). One literally tried to sideswipe me as I was using a crosswalk because I had a mask on. Doesn’t do that anymore do you want me to put I can put new batteries in

I'm detached and view that collective group as a waste of space and air.

Shame on me.

It's started with the 'It' of 45. I've now collectively thrown that group into 'It'.

Which makes me very dangerous.

I didn't think that I would ever reach a point in my 48 years of 'dehumanizing' the others.

I just don't think about them. It has the same effect but with far less effort.

If someone wants to waste their time hating me, that is their problem.

I can’t control their hate but I can control mine. And... since their hate is mostly to get a rise out of libs, I refuse to rise to the bait.

Peace and love. Kumbaya and all that.

The right hate my peace lovin’ tree huggin’.
That gets a rise out of them.

That's how I think of them these days.

They are not comprehensible, and there is no sense trying to understand them. At the same time they are not worth the effort of hating.

I think some of them do their crazy displays simply for the attention people slather over them. So I make a point of not giving them attention.

There is nothing you can do to make them rational. Best just to ignore and avoid them.

If they got in an accident on a lonely road and needed help would they ask us if we were R's or D's before before they let us put a tourniquet on their arm. Probably.
If their house or barn were on fire in a rural area and we were the first to show up with shovels and buckets in hand would they ask us if we were R's or D's and refuse our help. Probably.

Damn idiots!

They were anti-vax before, hated liberals, wouldn't pray for you unless you went to their church and never missed an opportunity to harass minorities, the poor and LGBTQ. The only thing that has changed is they have smelled blood in the water and want more.
