    My “so called enemy” has been calling me their enemy for over 50 years. I know who they are. They insist I am their enemy. I am not given a choice in that role. They chose it for me and treat me as the enemy whether I approve or not.

    You pretend the conservatives around you are not the people who are doing this. It’s the basis of your defense of evil. Your premise is false on its face. Conservatives celebrate and support every tiny bit of what is happening under the fascists they elected. The ONLY thing they complain about is the price of gas. That’s it. They support the rest of it. The violence and terror and murders and kidnappings. They love ALL of it. Because conservatives are genuinely pure evil, whether you choose to see it or not.

    FUN FACT: Conservatives are biologically unable to experience empathy. In fact, conservatives are disgusted by empathy. They claim it is fake, that it doesn’t exist, that it’s a sin or that it’s a weakness. They call it “wokeness” and insist that it needs to die.

    This is why conservative relationships are so shallow. Some amount of empathy is required to develop a deep emotional bond with another person. A conservative cannot experience any empathy at all, so they love their spouse and children with the same depth as a teenager loves a sportscar. It’s a strong emotion, but it’s not a deep, personal bond. This is why conservatives value their families as property rather than as humans.

    Their biological inability to experience empathy is also why bigotry comes so easily to them. A conservative will never see you as a human the way you see them as a human. They cannot experience the empathy required to humanize others the way a normal person does. This is why stories of genocide do not bother them. This is also why every genocide in human history has been led exclusively by conservatives.

    They are telegraphing their haymaker. They are even bragging about it. Refusing to aknowledge it, prepare for it or act upon it is a deadly mistake.

    Two years from now, this conversation will mean absolutely nothing. It will be as if it never happened. Just some thoughts shared between someone who sees the evil and someone who doesn’t, just before that evil consumes them both.

      The more we talk the more it is clear you don’t know what is happening. You have made conservatives into a scape goat to conveniently organize your world into a false dichotomy.

      You are right, something is wrong. You simply can’t accurately define what that is. Two years from now it will business as usual. We will continue marching towards WWIII and scapegoating people for political power. The wealthy will continue to wield unyielding power and we will be divided by their propaganda pitted against one another.

        We agree the wealthy are largely to blame, but conservatives are the loyal defenders of the wealthy. For example, the wealthy do not bust unions on their own. They have conservatives do that for them. Conservatives defend the wealthy at any cost. They always have and always will.

        If not for conservatives, the normal people would be able to charge the wealthy with crimes. If not for conservatives, the wealthy would be required to pay appropriate taxes. The wealthy would be required to pay appropriate wages. The normal people would be able to address wealth inequality, global climate destruction, affordable healthcare and affordable housing. Conservatives are the sole champions of the wealthy on all of these issues. If not for conservatives, each of these issues could be addressed.

        We cannot defeat the boss until his minions are dead.

          That is ass backwards. You seem to believe you have to go through everyone to get to the wealthy. The problem is there will always be another sucker to take a “minions” place. You are simply playing into their hands.

            We completely disagree on this. The wealthy are too few to vote on their own. They need conservatives to support them with their votes. The wealthy know they can motivate conservatives by promising to satisfy their bloodlust. Nothing motivates a conservative to vote more than the promise of harming a vulnerable class. The wealthy exploit this trait.
