   I will not hate liberals for being doufy and for having "Notorious RBG" buttons on their bags.

   I will not hate angry little radicals for pointing out my parasocial attachment to one of the six likable politicians left.

   I will not even hate the reluctant conservative would would probably argue with all of us about something innocuous like raising the social security cap.

   Everyone willing to help keep us from that darkest path is welcome. The authoritarian movement needs to be totally rejected.

     Think of the people holding those "Mass Deportation Now! (2024)" signs and then think of:

     * The most annoying "blueMAGA" liberal you have ever encountered
     * The scruffiest least realistic leftist you have ever encountered

     Wouldn't you rather work with them instead of one of the people with those signs? Who would you rather work with in the aftermath of a disaster? Who is more likely to have your back?

     I tend to think of people as more left wing than me as the people who are right about everything, but not practical enough about how exactly they will get anything done.

     People slightly to the right of me are those I tend to think of as being "insufficiently alarmed" they are underestimating the depth of the problem. Trusting too much in existing power structures to protect them.

     This is probably pretty typical.
