A liberal who realized something was wrong is something a lot of leftists once were. Accepting him should come from a place of empathy.
Can confirm, gave up on the whole "Democracy will repair itself" thing after the election.
Call me naive, but I really had hope the majority of Americans would at minimum be willing to vote against a rapist/insurrectionist/fraud
Comparing to russian opposition, it surprises me that "democracy will repair itself" is popular. It was understood somewhere in 2013 by nationalists, "right" and "left". "Democracy is a muscle, that needs to be excercised regularly" as Ekaterina Shulman (recently) said.
Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.
I don't. They benefited from it, same as him. Were happy to do so. They are nearly as demented as him.
You're talking about a 16 year old, a 19 year old, and his estranged wife who is a physical therapist. What's demented about them?
Thank you.
Not willing to defend your accusation eh?
Why does it need defending? I'm not saying they are deserving of the same fate as Brian, but I don't feel bad for them for no longer having such a vile man around. If they are good people as you say, they would rejoice as well.
"They are nearly as demented as him." That's why. I don't know any of those people, but this whole "sins of the father" bullshit doesn't fly in the modern world. They aren't responsible for what a douchebag he was, or anything he did a UHC. In fact it looks like at least his wife figured out he was a douchebag since she left him. So I'm just wondering what your source for the claim was.
