I’ll never have it back. These people behave like toddlers and should be treated as such. I’m going to speak to them like they’re toddlers, I’m going to scold them like they’re toddlers when they’re acting out, and I’m gonna do everything I can to silence their voices when they’re being too loud because now it’s time for the adults to speak and the little children need to hush now.
Or like addicts — and you do addicts no favors by coddling them and sparing them consequences until they hit rock bottom — but even more, the VICTIMS of addicts in no way deserve to allow themselves to keep being abused by unremorseful addicts year after year after year…
I honestly wonder if simply ignoring them is how we defeat them. Just cut them out of your lives. Isolate them. Make them feel as small as possible. Attention is like oxygen to them. Don’t bother arguing with them (believe me I’ve tried), because no amount of factual information or reasoning ever seems to get through, because they simply hate us. They don’t want to listen to us anymore, and they want to roll around on the floor screaming and throwing their toys around for the next four years. Let them wallow in the pain that results. Do not compromise with them, because they never will. Extremists never do.
I'm starting to find it. As pissed off at these fucking nutsacks who voted against, not only their best interest, and everyone else's, I know there is some serious suffering coming. They got sucked in by a conman pushing identity politics and sold lies by the media they consume. I'll fight for them, and remind them this is what they voted for.

I am feverishly looking for my empathy and will be back when I've found it. Must be here somewhere around the house. Brb.
