    I live in probably one of the reddest states, and it’s always been hypocrisy. Republicans are lying out of their lower lie holes every fucking time they open their mouths.

    Every single Republican politician and voter is a purely evil person.

      Politician, sure. But people are easily duped, especially when they’re uneducated. That doesn’t make them evil, especially when there’s a multi-billion dollar disinformation network constantly trying to mislead them.

        When “brown people = bad” is the main reason or doing anything, that makes you evil. I don’t care how much disinformation you’re being fed, at some point you have to use common sense and logic

        At what point does ignorance cross into willful ignorance? And at what point does willful ignorance become malicious? It’s a blurry line, to be sure.

          It crosses into willful ignorance once they reject an empathetic articulation of the information and they become malicious at roughly the same time. Though this is less “becomes” so much as “is revealed to be” i think

      I dont know if I’d say evil but they’re definitely uninformed and ignorant.

      They’ve been fed nothing but lies and propaganda and taught that the other side is evil, and if they’re religious it’s exactly the same as being in a full on cult with no bearing on reality.

      Sure, some of us like myself were smart enough to realize its a massive grift . not everyone has the brainpower.
