The GOP has witnessed the russian atrocities-bombing civilians, arresting grandmas

This move the GOP is making toward fascism isn't "just" about robbing the people blind and ignoring the rule of law so they can live like kings. This is about choosing to live an amoral life. And still they're all in. We cannot give them an inch.

The real battle is hatred and anger, versus peace and goodwill

But humans have a dark underbelly which seems to prevail.

He said something like, we humans define what is good and what is bad, and then we go ahead and choose to do the bad thing

And sociopaths vs. everyone else.

It isnt good and evil.

Its authoritarians,sociopaths narcissists wanting to get away with abuse and abuse of power.those with no empathy.

Vs.

People who do not tolerate being abused,who want to survive,have empathy and can feel love.

Sometimes they direct that love and empathy to the wrong people who seek our enslavement,abuse and leave us poor,powerless and helpless as we get exploited.
