Well, yeah--the Tr*mpies are professional hypocrites. The cognitive dissonance never ceases to amaze me
Sad as it is, I've given up even attempting discourse with them. I always believed that people could come to a mutual understanding given enough honest communication and fact based information. That's before I move to the rural South. Logic holds no power here. Everything always defaults to their own personal interpretation of their religious texts where god is clearly telling them joe biden is in league with satan trying to usher in the antichrist and the rest of the pedo grooming marxist democrats are coming for their children, and then the world, to enslave the human race with global warming taxes and the mark of the beast.... unless they vote trump. I am just... I can't.
Yup. I can't do the discourse either. I know that a small percentage could be talked into a more reasonable perspective, but I don't have the energy any more to play guess who with the ones who will benefit from discussions in good faith, and the ones who are just trying to use their hate to whittle me down. The people that hard drank the koolaid can't be reasoned with--they cherry pick their own rulebook. Ya think Jesus as he's depicted would approve of the shit they're doing? What happened to love thy neighbor, or take the log out of thine own eye first, or not throwing stones in glass houses? Hell, what about not wearing mixed fibers, or eating the wrong kinds of foods? The 'only for thee and not for me' attitude is just....ugh
