All the hate you hang onto doesn't touch them, but it wrecks what you can be as a person of real common sense and reason.
Still, I feel perfectly fine hating what they are doing and have been doing and being vocal about it and in my heart and at week moments I feel the overwhelming urge to just hate "them" but I resist because that is THEIR fucking game, not mine.
WE WIN when it's about US and about the TRUTH. THAT is the job I gotta stay focused on.
WE LOSE when we get into the whole US vs THEM shit because they just want to fight and do damage. WE wind up fighting people, labeling THEM as the evil, awful enemies when really people can just get stuck on dumb ass stuff.
I have people I already loved before this shit hit the fan who are drinking the kool aid because the supposed MSM is telling them lies. SO if they are basing their opinions on lies and letting themselves be fooled, I can still tell them the truth and make them accountable for letting themselves be fooled.
The way I look at it is, if I can take back ANYONE who has been indoctrinated, then it's a sweet victory and should be celebrated.
Keeping hate for other Americans out of the equation keeps me in a better state of mind. Still I understand WHY you feel the way you do. It just isn't healthy for me to go there.
