If you think that people who vote for the political figure you disagree with must necessarily be psychopaths, complete buffoons, idiots, brainwashed, whiny, or angrily selfish, then you should seriously reconsider like, all of your beliefs in everything

you are utterly failing to understand that someone's brain and experience can be constructed in such a way that the opposing policies actually seem like a good, loving, helpful thing for humanity that satisfies thier deepest values. Your politics has destroyed your compassion.

Whenever I meet someone who categorizes those they disagree with as motivated by darkness, I immediately become afraid of them, because I know their love has concrete limits, and if I want to connect with them I have to perform within their approved limits or be rejected.

This is incredibly unsophisticated thinking: political beliefs *do* have a moral element and basically always have. Every civil rights battle was a battle over morality - universal suffrage, slavery, ending Jim Crow. All politics, all moral, all with a clear 'right side'.

This is a shit take and you put the best argument against it in the tweet itself. Slavery. People who hated slavery are right, people who hated slavers were right, and without those people slavery as a legal institution would still exist.

This isn't the West Wing, it's not about competing ideologies and how people have different ideas of the best ways to help society, some are just self interested and you should hate those people.

That’s the lesson though isn’t it. That the Nazis and us have the same heart. It’s only by seeing that we would do the same in their condition that we can emphasize with how backed into a corner they are.

But, like, you’re still suggesting war and slavery are bad, and even the religious. Not trying to troll, I mostly agree with your point, but I think we all make value judgements about certain beliefs.

Im genuinely confused - you’re still taking license to characterize certain people as bad, Eg zealots for bad causes.
