We Can't Live With These Evil MAGATS. There Is No Way One Can Have Civil Relationships.

Even if you try to be civil with these people you can't It is likely they will challenge you if you display being anti Trump and the are near you. The demand you succumb to their hatred and vitriol. They demand open racism and bigotry and discrimination as OK normal and even desirable. What is worse is the you are supposed just STFU and take it. No kick back is allowed.

I think I have a magic bullet that dos not insult them and seems to shut them up and make them go away:
I simply offer them a sweet smile and say,"You are much to intelligent to think this way."
I'm not insulting them...nothing sets them off like calling them stupid. It's a little reverse psychology.
What can they do? They can't argue that they have opted for stupidity. They usually shut right up.

They can all fuck right off and die as far as I care...I see a red hat - ANY red hat - and I assume the person wearing it is a worthless piece of shit unless proven otherwise.

So this is really not a change for you, is it? Unfortunately, things did not quite work out so well huh?

I remember others in the thread pointing out that was no way to start off with a victory under our belt, but nah, civility was never gonna be your choice anyway. Remember?

The important thing of course, is that you exploit the opportunity to indict others for the very actions you yourself take. It reeks of casuist... regardless of the irrelevance of whether one remembers or not.

You could have made this great point.

"was never gonna be your choice anyway."

Seems it is a trait you both share.

Still, your point is spot on and really does lend itself toward a bigger picture.

You don't realize that you're not the opposite of them. You say they will only respond with vitriol while using it yourself. You've sent me a private message with the subject Go to hell, because I had the temerity to disagree with you. How are you any different than that which you claim is evil?

I believe in a different way. I've been enveloped by hate. All it did was tear me up inside. No thanks, I won't be doing that again.
