    Doesn’t hurt my feelings at all but just because they’re not following the laws doesn’t mean we can or should ignore the laws. I’m all for letting trump die in the same hole they’re sending the kids to. I also think he should have never been voted in and they need to arrest him months ago.

    The MAGA people in general are a problem but they’re not THE problem. If you think they all should be “Stomped down” you’re just as bad as they are, just on a different side.

    We need to support and educate people around this and as long as they’re not violent or breaking any laws then there’s nothing that we can really do. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and freedom. Just because you disagree with it, regardless of the side you’re on, doesn’t mean we can or should stomp them down.

      Let me get this out of the way. We are 100% in agreement or at least 99%. But I don’t think you understand, a large portion of these people ARE the problem. These people couldn’t give a flying fuck about education, that’s why they voted for people to dismantle the education system.

      Look, if there still isn’t something you’re getting, it’s probably because you don’t have the bigger picture. The very same “innocent people” you talk about are cheering this on in the US. Don’t assume people’s intentions based on your own.

      You’re not talking to an extremist, but someone who has tried to love and educate these people for years. It’s just not working because they already know what they stand for.

        Then how do you deal with it without becoming a problem yourself?

        The people who don’t care about education are still people and deserve all the same rights we have. You can’t just send them away.

          They will send you away, and then there’s nobody else to stop them.

          So what goal do you want to achieve?

            First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out– Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me–and there was no one left to speak for me.
