You should give everyone respect and dignity, even if they don’t. You don’t have to accept their views or be nice to them but they deserve the same basic respect and dignity any human being does. Painting this picture of a group of people being beneath your group has historically not worked out in terrible ways. It’s not a good or healthy response to political discourse and doing what they’re doing has never been a valid justification. If you want to act like they do, then I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be with them.

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.

Small sensors would be an ideal application as well.

I wouldn’t go around and start claiming any group “lacks qualities to make them human”. Dehumanizing people doesn’t work out well, ever.

I have simply accepted that if it leaves my thoughts, it’s considered public information at this point. Everything else is presumed to be something people can find.

The 90s Super Mario Brothers movie walked so this one could run. Because that’s a really low bar to set.

It’s the cost of doing business. You know you will be caught and you know how much they love to make big deals out of it, so… Adapt and overcome

I mean think of Hollywood or sports. Most people don’t do those things but they do consume it.

I will never forget how the entire republican primary consisted of all of them basically forecasting the future under him while he’s just sitting there being a dumb, smug fuckface shit talking all of them, Christie included then turned around and kissed his ass thankfully, gluttonously, with absolute enthusiasm for 4 years. Christie included.

What an appalling shit show.
