All who traffic in it, use it as a basis for political power,

Hate kills. Over and over again. All who traffic in it, stoke it, normalize it, use it as a basis for political power, and make money off of it should be denounced, discredited, defunded, and voted out of office. Corporate sponsors bear a special responsibility.

Denounced
Discredited
Defunded
Voted out

Please.

And it is correct to shine spotlights on corporate sponsors.

Reference "Replacement Theory". Much loved by losers who can't compete on level playing fields.

1. reputable people need to STOP APPEARING ON FOX NEWS

STOP LEGITIMIZING THEM

6. To accompany your statement...

Those who still appear on those execrable shows must be shown as DISreputable.

22. Jen Psaki was just on

I mean, WTF - STOP IT

2. Hatred is poison

All experience is preceded by mind.
Led by mind.
Created by mind.

Speak or act with a contaminated mind, and suffering follows.
Like the wheel of the wagon follows the hoof of the ox.

3. GOP uses hatred to get votes and raise money.

They could care less if Americans are harmed.

[Evolve Dammit]

10. or anyone world-wide either. They are fine with death.

[Irish_Dem]

13. The GOP likes the killing, maiming and suffering of others.

They get off on it.

[Evolve Dammit]

15. They really do seem to. Orange guy wanting the military to shoot protestors, etc. Hell, they were

ready to hang their own VP.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Exactly. They like brutality, power, control.

Death and suffering. Just like Putin is doing in Ukraine.

4. The corporate media

refuses to address the issue for fear of being labeled the "librul media." by Pox News. Note to corporate media: Pox News has created a fascist propaganda outlet that tells its adherents to eliminate all things not Trump. And by eliminate I mean with extreme prejudice. The victims of right wing violence caused by Pox hate speech should institute legal actions against Pox and its air staff.

9. The corporate media refuses to address this because it is far too profitable.

Why end the gravy train?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

19. The instant Pox turns their populist hate machine against big money, they will drop them

... but

... (and it is a big but)

... Pox will never turn against big money. They are big money.

[OldBaldy1701E]

23. Oh, I agree, but as you stated... (n/t)

14. Too many Americans choose hate to give their empty lives meaning

While opportunistic gun industry corporations line up to profit from it, and too many politicians gleefully grabbing their campaign dollars. The pathology is literally killing us.

16. Whatever anyone else does

If I'm around other people, I try to do a good deed. If nothing else, I try to be patient and pleasant. Maybe I'll influence the universe

I don't want to be hateful, but I have my moments. And tslking among friends, they too, have their moments. I don't think any of us embrace hate as a way of life. The fomenting of hate must stop, though. It warps people too easily.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. Unlike you and your friends, there are people who define themselves by hate. . . nt

[Marthe48]

20. I'm aware

and they need to be shut down. Rather than curse the darkness, I try to light a candle.
