   I don't really believe in fate or karma or god gives us lessons or whatever. But I do occasionally engage in the magical thinking of, "The reason I went through an abusive relationship was to prepare me for this political moment"

   I think that, had I not had that experience up close and personal in an intimate relationship, I would have still believed that "all wars are fought between the good guys and the good guys"

   Boy did I learn otherwise the hard way...

     people still think that showing neo-fascists the respect we wish they would show us will somehow teach them to do better or compel them to stop hurting us

     this is flawed logic & morally repugnant, let it go

     repeat after me ”the fascists are not my audience, they will act in bad faith no matter what I say, no amount of moral capitulation or pandering will ever cause them to respect me”
