    Stop thinking these people think they’re wrong or have any doubts. I know people like this. Beneath the first onion layer is just rot.

      I do think there’s a sizeable difference between having deeply buried shame about what they’re doing and actually having doubts that make their way to the surface where they could actually change the behavior.

        I know these people. This hate is their real religion. They listen to the sermons of Fox News and conservative radio more then their actual preacher and more then their own families. One of them has a homoerotic, nearly pornographic, and very much photoshopped poster of Donald Trump hanging in his workshop. Another has 25% of his workshop covered in conservative bumper stickers. Their hatred for “others” and their condescension for anyone with empathy is their pride.
