Our Enemies Don't Care

28. I read freerepublic all the time to get a sense of what the other side is saying.

Put your hands in the muck like I do. Spend 20 to 30 minutes. Read a few articles. Read the comments. See the contempt they have for us here at DU. See that they don't consider us Americans. See that they call us DUmmies, and Dhimmis. See them call us traitors. The open hostility, the racism.
Look up their views of Diamond Reynolds. She saw her boyfriend shot by a cop and stayed calm with the murderer inches from her face, ready to kill her for the slightest mistake she made. They are disgusted by her. They make jokes about cultural appropriation because she has blond hair. They call her Dumb-Ass Diamond.
That's the differing view of politics you're talking about. We are so far apart from that mindset that they might as well be another species from us. You'll see that everything in the OP is accurate as hell. And you'll understand that it can't just be reasoned away. That mindset needs to be utterly obliterated for the country to survive.
