They are so bereft of human decency that they find hammer attack on an elderly man comical

An 82-year-old man sustains a skull fracture from a predawn home invasion, and you think it’s funny? Or that it’s fodder for another dumb conspiracy theory?

What did you do with your humanity? Where did you mislay your souls? Have you no sense of decency at long last? One is tempted to say that in your response to Friday morning’s attack on Paul Pelosi, many of you on the political right have hit rock bottom. But you lot have a knack for excavating depths that would make the Mole Man think twice, so let’s just content ourselves with saying that you’ve struck a new low.

According to San Francisco Police, Pelosi was awakened before 2:30 in the morning by an intruder calling “Where’s Nancy?” a reference to Pelosi’s wife, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Paul Pelosi managed to call 911 and police arrived to find him and another man struggling over a hammer, which the intruder snatched away and used to bash the speaker’s husband in the head.

One would think this would be a moment for you to set politics aside, to offer words of consolation, comfort — and thanks that Pelosi is expected to make a full recovery. But one would be wrong. While some of you — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, former Vice President Mike Pence among them — offered well wishes, others were unable to clear even that low moral bar.

1. When someone has no conscience, they can do anything

The Republican Party is rife with psychopaths

4. Pretty much my thoughts on that group of people

If republicans can force you to keep your rapist's baby, what else are they willing to do?

5. They've made it clear, there is no bottom for their cruelty and selfishness

Just this morning, I was wondering how many of them are the descendants of those who perpetrated the genocide against native Americans. They certainly have no believe in the collective good for all of us. They are too busy lashing out in so many destructive ways.

6. It's worse than that - my in-laws used to be really nice people until they retired and found Fox

My wife's grandfather fought in the Pacific in WW2 and now her father votes for these fascists and Nazis.

Her father used to be a kind person and now he's perpetually angry. He goes to church, he sings in the choir, and is a deacon - and he's got the meanest views on immigrants, liberals, and even women.

I realize some people go down this hole because they aren't well-educated and are easily led. He's a smart guy and did well for himself. He needed an outlet for his anger and the christian right gave him a home.

7. Propaganda works

Sadly, a steady diet can transform people we care about.
