      I’m incredibly sad about it too, it consumes a non-inconsequential amount of my family. But a large faction of the US have been trained since the civil rights era that it’s good to suffer hurt yourself as long as you are hurting the undesirables more.

      Are you aware what a massive undertaking it is to deprogram people who are brainwashed in a cult?
      It’s extremely hard, takes a long time, and requires the influence from the cult is cut completely.

      So yes the MAGA cult is basically a lost cause. Unless USA decides to shut down FOX and CNN and the likes.

        We needed to deprogram the south when they lost the war, Sherman gave it a start, but then we failed when we showed them mercy.

        Now they’ve finally won.
