I agree with the assessment of willful/blind ignorance. This could hardly be proven more than by Rep. Kat Cammack blaming the Democrats for Florida’s abortion ban almost killing her. But while she almost got her own face eaten by the leopard, there would be some karmic justice there one could argue, but again, to see people in America suffer or die for very preventable conditions is insane to me.
The real upside, if we wish to see one from this spiteful and asinine budget cut, is an opportunity to show we’re not whatever it is they’ve been told we are. Make sure your neighbors and family are ok, if they’re MAGA or not. We can look for revenge, or we can live in an egalitarian way that we’d want things to be. Don’t preach people your beliefs, show them why you believe it. You won’t always win people over, but most folks will remember if you gave them a hand when they needed it and didn’t guilt them or hold something over them, but were just a good human being.
We’re allowed to be mad. We deserve to be mad. But we should still act right. Somebody’s got to be the adult in the room.
Truthfully I find it hard to have any grace toward someone who, or any group for that matter, who wants to rain harm down on marginalized people when they can not see past their own nose to see what that same vote does to them all the while we are over here pointing at project 2025 and trying to tell them just what will happen if they go ahead with that vote. My sympathy is gone. SCOTUS just voted to take away birthright citizenship and you want me to give these fuckers some grace. You want me to extend my hand in brotherhood? I turned the over cheek too long. All my grace is gone.
My patience is only for the everyday people in our lives. Most of them I think are poorly or wrongly informed or just have no interest or understanding of politics. I’m plenty interested in politics and the economy, etc, and I maybe have a solid grip on 1% of what all the government actually does or can do.
Those who are public officials, elected or appointed, or in some other way active participants such as citizen “militias”, Jan 6ers, etc… those people can burn in hell for what they’ve done to this place. They’ve done irreparable harm and did it purposefully over decades. They know and understand what they’re doing. They have no excuse. They’re criminals and traitors to our country.
I assume we’re all somewhere left of center here, so I may have not been clear on that distinction.

I am guessing you do not live in a red state.
