More than 20 percent of Republicans surveyed said certain criminal charges against former President Trump have made them more likely to support him in the 2024 election, according to a new Ipsos poll released Thursday.
Okay but can you imagine how morally a person must be who excuses every crime committed by Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump?
Are they shitty human beings? Sure. Despicable, corrupt, hypocritical and damaging human beings. Absolutely they are, but they’re still people. They might try to dehumanize democrats and liberals and I push back at that point as well. I don’t believe dehumanizing anyone, regardless of whatever they have done. People are capable of a wide set of behaviors and that has to be reconciled. Anyone is capable of becoming a monster, and throughout history anytime you start to dehumanize a group, you open the door for everyday people to become monsters. For me personally, I can’t claim to be morally or ethically superior to these terrible people if I’m not better than they are, by not painting them as subhuman.
Most of the population is moderate and so painting this massive group as things that shouldn’t be is dangerous. It’s never worked out for anyone well when that basic, knee jerk reaction happens.
