    I don’t think it’s about feeling some kind of superiority. I think it’s important to keep telling each other this so we remember - this is who they are. They are not rational thinking individuals.

    The reason being that we cannot waste any time or energy thinking they can be redeemed. All our energy needs to be spent on making sure we vote and everyone we know votes. Because they will be voting and voting Trump, and won’t be changing their minds. And that vote is a threat to our freedoms and our democracy.

        Is that how you see the world, better and worse? To me it’s simply a statement of fact. They are clearly not rational actors. They are voting emotionally - fear, anger, hate.

        Before you say it, yes, we all vote with some emotion, but these people are voting against their own best interests in almost every aspect of politics just for some brief dopamine hit to own the libs.
