What I am seeing in the RWNJ relatives I have and other RWNJs I come across in daily life and on-line.

I feel as if all these people are being molded to be so toxic and hateful. Racist, sexist, bigoted, anti science and reason, and the kind of people who enjoy hurting others, especially non RWNJs.

It’s as if whatever morals they grew up with have been replaced by something so dark and evil and toxic now.

And I don’t know how we fix our nation or how we continue to function with people like that, people like the ones trying to kill the police guarding the Capitol. Because sure some of them are going to prison, but there are so many more out there who want to do so much harm and feel justified to do so.

I wish we could just get rid of all the right wing media, find some way to put a stop to the radicalization or our fellow citizens. I for one no longer recognize some of my relatives, there is nothing left of the kind, caring people I once knew.

It feels to me like what happened in “it’s a wonderful life” when George Bailey sees how dark and hateful the people of the town have become.

We are all trapped in that dark world now and we need to return to sanity but I don’t know how.

And I find myself not wanting to have anything to do with the right wingers, even when they are family.
