    You make the mistake of thinking that their resolve isn’t already absolute. I think it’s a luxury of ignorance of people who don’t live in deep red states and don’t know just how deep-seeded their fear and hatred of others is.

    And no, I will no longer strive for “understanding” of fascists who hate and harm others. I understand them perfectly well, and their views disgust me. Those who do continue to “strive for understanding” are only enabling them, and are the people who have allowed the situation to get as bad as it has in the U.S.

    But go ahead, keep tolerating the intolerant.

        No, allowing fascists to continue being fascists is what got us here. I had sympathy and understanding for those people in the past, and now we have Nazis. I’m done with sympathy/understanding/tolerance of those who have none.
