    There’s some psychopaths, sure, but they’re between 1/4th and a 1/3rd of the country. You can’t think they’re all just demons lol

    The majority are cynics and believe politics is about redistributing pain. They believe religious oppression is natural and inevitable, the only question is who the victims are. The only way for Christians to win is for everyone else to lose, etc etc

      Your argument is so ridiculously asinine, all due respect.

      Yes. Yes, we can. No matter their numbers. They’re a bunch of fucking assclowns of varying depravities and inclinations. Period. Whether they’re ⅓ or ¼ or ½ of the country doesn’t change a fucking thing.

      “The majority” [citation needed] are setting the example for those further down the human centipede, but that doesn’t mean slicing up the shitworm at any point along the chain isn’t helping the entire fucking world.

      You missed the point on this one. Republican politicians don’t give a shit about any of that, rather than as a method of achieving fascism for their donors.

        That’s literally what cynicism is. They’re not robots, they’re just convinced life is transactional and inherently about sacrificing others for yourself.
