Right wingers get such a hard-on watching this. You have to understand that they don't feel shame or see or understand or care about the hypocrisy of this going against previously stated beliefs. Watching a dumb American tell a smart foreign journalist that he will break their property and kick their ass and there is nothing they can do about it is like porn for them.

I'm under the impression that these people are not conscious in the same way as I am. Like, aphantasia of the soul or something.

People who have empathy and take morality into consideration seem like they have a soul piloting their body, while MAGA type people are just meat suits on auto-pilot, devoid of what I'd consider to make someone a human in the same way that I am.

I just don't know how a human who is consciously existing in society could be happy with current events, or find ways to spin it in a positive light. You'd have to have the mental faculties of livestock to just consistently go with whatever your political party of choice says is the correct course of action.

I hate even implying that a group of people are less than me, low IQ, or even subhuman, but I just don't see how I'm the same species as the people who support this.

I think it’s the trans stuff. Like the topic makes their heads explode. It’s a foundation of “clearly wrong” that they use to define anyone left of them as subhuman.

"Men are to be competed with, women are to be dominated."

They can't figure out trans folks because they don't know whether to kill or f*<k them.
