Seems to me that Rush, the FOX crew and Trump did NOT inject hatred into our society and they [View all]
did NOT teach people to hate.
These malignant money-grubbers simply told the perpetually pissed off that the hatred they already harbored for those who were "different" was justified and it was "only right" to blame them for their own many failings.
The main character in a popular movie about Wall Street several years ago preached "Greed is good!" Those I named and countless others expanded on that and preached to their choir that racism, misogyny, lying, theft, vulgarity and even physical assaults were perfectly acceptable as long as they were directed toward "them".
I don't pretend to know how to reverse the nihilistic "nothing matters so anything goes" attitude that is so proudly proclaimed by---let's just say it---most of the Republican party and their white supremacist "fellow travelers". I just know that I will call their hateful bullshit by its name if it is uttered within earshot of me.
Silence is acceptance and I don't need any "friends" that aren't comfortable with that.
