What Republicans believe in is their superiority and a hatred of those different

There is no religious stance that they will not trample. No matter of ethics or faith they will not bend. We have witnessed that clearly in the last 20 years. There are no causes they hold truly dear. As long as you can weasel word your way into not causing an immediate public outrage while letting them know you share their hatred, you can pass among them and become a leader.

If the 1% were not aiming the hatred, the common Republican would turn on the rich in a second. The oligarchs that own the Republican pipelines of hatred know this and dare not ever get off the evil horse they bred to live on AstroTurf.

The oligarchs fear a leader they cannot own. This is why so many of their representatives are clearly stupid and compromised. We saw Dick Cheney turn the crowd against anyone in a turban or who spoke French. People who barely showed up on the radar of the average Republican happily turned up the hatred when the opportunity to hate became mainstream.

So when you see the angry anti-masker and wonder what happened and how they came to believe that your wearing a mask is an attack on their freedom, keep in mind that in their hearts they know they are inferior in ethic, logic and compassion. That is enough to double down their hatred.

Some really, truly believe the lies and propaganda they have been fed for decades. These are the fools.

Some know it's all a framework of lies but they continue to spread the poison like good goose-steppers.

Some are not even citizens of this country, they are dropping the poison pellets into our social discourse from troll farms in Russia, China and North Korea. Weaponizing the Internet is cheap and easy and effective.
