(9,117 posts)And every now and again I pray for their enlightenment and repentance. But Im not about to hold my breath waiting for their getting of wisdom and I dont 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: Im not the one to swing it, but I dont have to cushion the blow for them. Either.

(10,429 posts)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.

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

(31,818 posts)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.

(18,632 posts)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.

(28,817 posts)I cant 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.

(50,949 posts)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.

(4,305 posts)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!

(4,516 posts)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.
