On the (web) pages of my local metro newspaper, I am often compelled to spar with supporters of TFG

Where I live, they are an especially disgusting, unhinged, racist lot. Sick and tired of them. I have composed this as a standing reply to each and every one of them who defends the Orange Anus. I was careful to avoid language or personal insults that would get my comment deleted. Any feedback would be appreciated.

"Here’s why I don’t respect you or any of the other TFG supporters here:

You support a man who, as President of the United States (an office whose occupant is entrusted with the safety and security of every person in America, not just the ones who voted for him), publicly identified citizens who were doing their jobs as election workers, thus setting upon them his legions of supporters to harass, badger, and quite possibly harm these election workers, who were guilty of nothing more than doing the jobs they were being paid for, providing an essential public service. He did it for no other reason than pure spite resulting from his electoral defeat, which has been found by all legitimate investigators to be lawful and complete. At least one of these women had to be told by the FBI that she needed to leave her home because she was not safe from the danger posed by the sick and violent mobs of TFG supporters. Worst is that you will find some way to rationalize or excuse this behavior. You will because you are so personally and deeply invested in your support of this thug that you absolutely must, MUST excuse and justify everything he says and does, no matter how cruel, dishonest, disgusting, or illegal. You must do this because anything less would mean that you were wrong to support him because decency, dignity, and humanity demand that you repudiate his thuggish behavior, and more than anything else, your ego is so huge that admitting being wrong is too great a step to take. You are too big a coward to empathize with people who are victims of this kind of targeting and would rather see them harassed and victimized by TFG supporters than admit your own failure of humanity. You will look at these women whom TFG targeted (and ruined their lives), and you will fail to see your own mother, grandmother, daughter, wife, or sister in their images and remain unable to muster the empathy, decency and humanity required to recognize the personal devastation caused by TFG, because to you, he absolutely must be right, because it makes you feel better about supporting such despicable behavior. You will look at Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman, and you will not see your own mother, grandmother, daughter, wife, or sister, because you noticed that they are different from your family members in one very insignificant (to me, but not to you) way, and because of that, you will see them as deficient and inferior to you.

To summarize: TFG’s behavior is despicable, and you are despicable for supporting and rationalizing it. Because of this, I sincerely wish that you will (and I hope it happens soon) be subjected to something as painful, destructive, and humiliating as what TFG has put these innocent people through. And I hope that if it happens, you will be haunted and hounded by it for the rest of your life."

I thought of it. Then I remembered that when typing in the paper's comment section, regardless of how many times one hits "Return," it won't separate the text into individual paragraphs. That's why I left it that way.
