Yesterday, I got so angry because I don't understand WHY they hate gay and trans people so fucking much. It mystifies me, because I don't see how someone else's sexual preference or gender expression affects them....because it doesn't.
But, their politics, their belief that some people aren't deserving of basic human rights DOES affect others. It is affecting all of us now.
Do I sometimes imagine them all walking off a cliff and crashing on the rocks below, because their orange leader told them to? Yes. I do. If that makes me a bad person, well, fine, I am a bad person who is frustrated beyond belief at how quickly our entire government can be destroyed by bad actors....or are you arguing that they are just like us, but with a different slant on how government should work (or not exist)?
If you don't see why people are frustrated, then we are in very different places on this.
The sick, sad thing is that to anyone from the outside, I look like I could be one of them. I'm an older white woman, married 35 years to a white man with three white male children. They assume I'm one of them if they don't know me and they will talk to me and the things I have heard....well, it's bad. Really bad. The level of hate from some of them toward people who have NEVER caused them harm is terrifying.
