re: #280 Mattand

I dealt with that this weekend on Facebook. A friend was wondering out loud when it became okay to shit on veteran and former POW McCain had a couple of MAGAs reply back. One fucker actually repeated the “McCain confessed under torture” lie, and the other one made racist noise about Trump is refusing to bow to the interest of “minorities”.

I pushed back, but I checked out as I didn’t want my friend’s FB page to turn into a war zone, which is where I was headed. I wrote her back on Messenger and pointed out the the racist fuckwits who responded pretty much answered her question.

I really don’t know how we come back from this a country. A sizable chunk of our fellow citizens are straight out want a Putin-style dictatorship/kleptocracy, and the fucking idiot “independents” who could sway the election are either too stupid or too chickenshit to deal with reality.

Or maybe they’re just not really ‘independent’ and only barely have enough shame to realize they’re on the wrong side (but not enough to actually change their position).
