I find this depressing. The only thing this world isn't really trying these days is to reach out and be there for people almost unconditionally. It's lame, but, we still need to be the change we want to see in the world. The less light there is in the tunnel. the darker it gets.

Reach out to unforgivable, unredeemable sociopaths?

A conservative sees empathy as a weakness. Save your light for those who will value it.

I think you may not realize that for most people they were already “almost unconditionally” supportive of others.

However, a lot of people feel that the conditions have been met, or, the line has been crossed where they can no longer morally support the other side.

So people have been “almost unconditionally “ supportive as you say you want.

I really did used to think like this. Like, what would make a person adopt such an ignorant stance such as fascism, racism, etc. I used to feel sorry for them.

It's just been too much lately. I don't feel sorry for them anymore. They are in the wrong and should know it. They should feel unsafe regurgitating the foul rhetoric they believe. It used to be (at least somewhat) that way.

I'm not even American, but everyone is feeling the repercussions of this travesty we all witnessed on Tuesday. It's not direct repercussions, but soon will.

Jesus wept (I'm not a Christian).
