      Stop that

      These followers are systematically bred through the system of the US to do and think these things.

      And that’s not to say we can’t educate and flip the tide. NO MOAR NEGATOR, ONLY POSI VIBES 😤😤

      Defeated feelings are how you lose

        Dehumanizing is a slippery slope. Don’t let yourself fall down that rabbit hole.

        At the end of the day, they’re still people. They may make dumbshit decisions and choices, but they’re human beings none the less

          Absolutely true. But also, as soon as we believe “no true human could do something like this” we’re opening ourselves up to being blindsided by another human doing that.

            Very true. It’s a balancing act. Expect the worst but strive for the best
