Note: I’m not casting all Republicans as a “skin of evil” here; I feel many of them are just people trying to make their way in the world whose daily struggles and fears have been amplified manipulated by the “skin of evil”, an administration that constantly denies human rights and demonizes (as well as convinces its followers to partake in the demonization of) people who, for the most part, are also just trying to make their way in the world. I’ve known Republicans, and while the people they give their support to frighten me, most of the ones I’ve know aren’t demons.

    An interesting notion, which I do not share.

      I somewhat rebut that notion, but still, that is brutally funny, so I have to upvote. I have known a decent amount of jerk Republicans as well; one of my university classes is in a room next to where the campus Turning Point meeting is held, and it boils my blood a bit.

      Honestly, my response to a comment on the c/risa version of this post pretty much sums up my point, so I won’t write it up again: https://startrek.website/post/30091443/19306453
