Imagine being so brainwashed

25. So very tragic that this is true.

I keep thinking of the phrase "hurt people hurt people." It confused me at first when I heard it ages ago, but I finally figured out that it meant that people who are harmed by other people end up harming other people (often their children) because they are emotionally damaged. And they often end up defending the harmful behavior that fucked them up because they can't admit they're fucked up.

"My parents beat and verbally abused me and I turned out OK," they say, "so why shouldn't I treat my kids the same way?"

And it isn't confined to their own families. They harm others as well. Notably, Rush Limbaugh, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, the Fox "News" spokesliars," and much of the M$M have destroyed this country by convincing these emotionally disturbed MAGAts that their path to wealth & happiness requires hurting others.

So, in addition to their friends & families whom they probably inadvertently hurt due to harmful learned behaviors, they also purposely hurt whomever they're told by the loudmouth RW media is the enemy.

Of course it's the blacks, the Asians, the immigrants, the Libs, etc.

But those causing them the most harm--RW/MAGAt commentators & politicians, & billionaires--are never IDed as their enemies.
