I am going to call it. These people conservatives, the Republican Party and the filthy rich are in human animals.

To ignore this is to agree to it. Don’t let anybody you know who supports Republicans or MAGA slide from this point.

Everyone he supports Donald Trump in the GOP and Christian nationalism are child abusers. They cannot be allowed to wriggle off the point and wriggle away from accountability.

They are still human. Never forget that. Borne of human parents. They are what any of us could become once we start thinking one person is less of a person than another.

They are the worst of us. Despicable. Selfish. Hateful. Delusional.

Evil, even.

But they are still human. Humans are capable of such things. Humans can also hold each other accountable and seek justice. We could also turn away and make excuses; let bygones be bygones.

We have a choice.

They must be held accountable. We must not look away.

We must look them in the face and admit they are human because we must never again forget what we are capable of and we must never let it happen again.

@jrdepriest

The purpose of what I am saying is to ostracized them. I know what you’re saying is well meaning but I have no trouble understanding they are people and that the human species is capable of atrocities like genocide and mass murder , rape and trafficking in children. Human history is littered with these behaviors..

One of the ways human societies sanction morally abominable behavior like this is to ostracized the behavior.

@GhostOnTheHalfShell

I'm saying "ostracizing" them isn't enough.

They must be punished.

If they were animals, we could just say it's in their nature. But they are people and they must be held accountable and made an example of.

@jrdepriest

Yeah, in this, we are in complete agreement. The problem we face is on the scale of apartheid South Africa.

Quite often conservatives of all sorts, get arrested and convicted of human trafficking crimes, but the larger issue we face now is a significant chunk of the population who continues to support those people.

It’s a peace and reconciliation situation but it will require admission of what they supported.
