In reply to the discussion: Ultra Maga Co-Worker [View all]Easterncedar
(6,361 posts)13. It's hard to admit you've been a fool, to be fair
Yes, I am enraged and purely loathe the magats, but the forces that picked up and amplified their worst natures are very powerful and effective - and are the real evil. The magats are mainly weak, greedy, ignorant, hateful and pathetic tools.
I try to tell myself that these assholes did not have the benefit of my privileged, open-minded upbringing, and that hating them is kind of like blaming people for being in poverty.
I will never like or forgive them, but I am glad when I hear that some of them are turning away from the dark, even if just to the extent of ceasing to broadcast their ugly stupidity.

Not the ones here. They're full steam ahead with tRump still. They are enamored with what he's doing

And years from now they will probably also deny ever supporting Trump in the first place.
