You know they are, but legitimately I’m pretty sure a large percentage of them actually have solvable/manageable mental illnesses. I’m starting to pity them more than anything now.
My pity isn’t just for them, but for the families destroyed by the rhetoric and the love lost between people.
People are so divided now on everything, everyone’s caught up in trying to apply labels to themselves so they can be further divided into categories and discriminated against.
I’m really tired of the labels. Republican, Democrat, Right Wing, Left Wing, Fascist, Socialist, blah blah blah… these labels just help external influencers drive that wedge a little better.
Can’t we all just be human and start to talk to one another? I think we’ll find we have more in common than not. The only way to bring people over to your side is to befriend them, and slowly work on it. The fighting just causes everyone to dig their heels in so much more.

You get to be divided off from the “rest” of society, and put in a special bucket and targeted.

I’ll reserve my pity for those more deserving.

What nonsense is this?
The labels aren’t just meaningless words, they represent the views of a person.
No one wants to just get along with the *phobe *ist who wants to strip away people’s basic human rights.
