What bothers me the most about Trump supporters
Is how cruel they are. I’m talking deep down cruel where, for example,
their emotional reaction to children being torn from their families is a
yawning shrug of indifference that I see as actually showing inhumanity.
But it’s not just that they don’t care because they do. But the way they
care is to get pleasure out of it. They feel a deep satisfaction when
they see misery and pain and hopelessness, especially when it happens to
people who do care. And worse to people who are scapegoated as deserving
bad treatment simply for being a different race or nationality. It’s like
their desire to hate and loath is so strong that they go out of their way
to find victims or to embrace any leader who has the real power to hurt
people just because they can.
They may be stupid, but stupidity doesn’t automatically mean hatred or
brute pleasure in causing pain and suffering. Stupidity doesn’t
automatically birth loathing and rage. But fundamental streaks of cruelty
do thrive on the lowest vibrations of hatred.
It used to be that I would help people who had trouble with difficult and
complicated issues. I would never have thought of anyone as stupid
because it would be cruel to do so. I feel it is my duty to help people
when I see them in need, not to judge them.
But now I feel that those who are MAGATs are savagely vicious in a
profoundly fundamental way. They seek out causes and people who will give
them the outlet to spew poisonous hartred. And Trump knew this because
it’s who he is too and because he wants power above everything else he
exploits the MAGATs the same way every other vicious dictator has
exploited their followers.
I now think they will never change, except to go back into their black
holes to seeth with resentment in silence with their own kind. They need
to be relegated to the fringes where they can’t act out their hatred,
where they can’t harm Democracy and humanity. Let them decide on their
own to become human if they want to be heard. I don’t see how we owe them
anything more than what they create for themselves. Our energy is better
placed to help good people who need help.
The truth is always a good thing to know, even if it hurts.

BT:
This was done during both the G. W. and the Obama Administrations, and has continued under Trump, because many adult border-crosser from points south
were found to be using kids belonging to others to help the adult play the role of poor pitiful family leader.
Now the lefties pretend that this just started, or really didn't know that Obama "tore" away kids as well because the pro-Democrat media never said anything and accepted this as routine and necessary border policy.
Interesting that the left, which so distrusts people that they wasn't to check and inspect everything between the Mexican and Canadian borders, now want to just wave people in and not even look.
The usual Republican-president derangement syndrome is driving the Left to stupid, hardline positions that they won't even admit are the opposite of what their own guys did.
