“Them” vs “Us” cult

Hello TOW,

Well said. Have you noticed that the minority groups who are demonized seems to change from generation to generation? Black people used to be the main targets when we were growing up. Now it's Hispanics. Gays were vilified for decades; now it's trans people. Many Xtians seem to hate everyone who isn't also of their sect -- atheists, Muslims, Jews, even Catholics.

It's almost as if hate is inborn in us and we have to struggle to overcome it. A lot of people never manage.

Every generation has a chance to be better than the previous one. Fear and hatred are huge limiting factors in social integration.

Everyone should ask themselves: "How can I be better than my parents?"

That's what makes a country greater.

The Republican Party took a dark turn with the Southern Strategy.

Good point about Bannon. What continues to amaze me is not just how many MAGAts support the pardons of obvious criminals and scumbags, but how many are willing to drop their pants and bend over for a repeat performance. Weird!

It's pretty ironic they want to call themselves the party of law and order when their felon leader is turning criminals loose.

Ever notice that in the MAGAT cult, if you’re not one of “us” (MAGAT), you’re one of “them”. “Them” being the enemy. Not to be trusted. Vilified. Dehumanized. Targeted. Prosecuted.

Who is the “them”? Including, but not limited to:

Immigrants, gays, trans, dissenters, elite universities, blue cities and states, certain judges and prosecutors, perceived political enemies, anyone who disagreed with the cult leader.

One hundred years ago, the fascist movement took hold using the same tactics. At that time, the “them” was very similar.

Immigrants, gays, the elite, political enemies, Slavs, gypsies, dissenters. They also included the Jews - the perceived cause of all woes. Just like our undocumented immigrants today.

The population of Germany that was not “them” stood by and let fascism take hold, then take control. They even participated.

We’re seeing the same events unfold before our eyes.

Dumber isn't complaining that there is division - dumber is complaining that Team Evil is losing.
