    Every single one has to get hurt individually to understand. It’s probably an undiagnosed learning disability

      As someone with 3 learning disabilities, don’t put that asshole on us. Disabled people are often more empathetic in my experience.

        I stand by my comment, with the understanding that this specific disability has turned these people into Nazi sheep. Unrelated types of disability are not part of this discussion.

          I find this notion worthless and misguided. Being a fascist is a product of deliberate ignorance, not a failure to understand. Her mind wasn’t shockingly expanded when her father died. She just got angry enough about the injustice of her situation to slightly abandon her spiteful disdain for all things progressive and good for the people and the world.

          Note her repeated insistence that the right and the left both want safer roads. It is not and never has been the left pushing for roads to be less safe. The fascists adopted road safety as another cause they could ideologically appropriate for the cause of disdain. The fascist ideology requires a constant never ending source of outrage, even after they have taken power. The enemy must always be present and scheming with trivial political matters. Everyone is aware that roads being less safe will result in more people dying. They just do not care. They disdain the idea of caring. They disdain the idea of doing something to make roads safer.

      That and literal poisoning from a lack of environmental regulations and enforcement in conservative areas.

      just decades of republicants sabotaging public education, on top of even more decades of lead pollution and exposure.
