      Are we supposed to be emulating them? Isn’t that just stooping to their level? Why not be the better man?

        Somone wise once said, fool me once shame on you foot me twice… Can’t get fooled again!

        Republicans have been pushing hate and fear for DECADES. They have laughed at tragedies and drawn crosshairs on their political opponents.

        So yea, we don’t need to be better men.

        I don’t condone violence, but I also have zero sympathy for someone who’s done nothing except stoke fear and violence at every turn.

        I don’t feel bad stooping to their level on this. Moral victory is pretty meaningless in the end, especially in a situation like this. It’s really just cathartic.

          Not even that if it’s as obvious that they genuinely couldn’t care less about your moral victory and are proceeding to keep being subhuman slime with zero sense of consequence for it.

        Better men are the ones that string the fascist up from gas stations.

        You’re not entitled to the people you’ve hurt being the bigger person for you.

        What you’re entitled to is to be grateful if all they do is pay you back evenly or at lesser cost to you than you put them through.

        You can be a better man if you want, i’m not wasting social niceties on someone who took a fat dump on the social contract and told me to eat up. And that is my choice to make.

        When it’s no longer working sometimes you have to abandon being the better man and punch a bully in the mouth.
