    Why do you hate individuals more than you love this country?
    I don't hate anyone. I simply think you and people like you do not belong in a civilized society.

    Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King...
    "But with patient and firm determination we will press on until every valley of despair is exalted to new peaks of hope, until every mountain of pride and irrationality is made low by the leveling process of humility and compassion, until the rough places of injustice are transformed into a smooth plane of equality of opportunity, and until the crooked places of prejudice are transformed by the straightening process of bright-eyed wisdom.”
    How will you honor him?

    Don't make disingenuous references to your ability to be "convinced" of anything that you don't already believe. It's a tactic of middle school debaters and Trumpists.

    I will say that the US was founded on and relies on, in part, Enlightenment ideals. World civilization was transformed in a way that has not often occurred in humanity's history. Understandings in science, advancements in technology, and observations that could be made for the first time allowed us to develop a scientific method. We clarified the distinctions between fact, theory, opinion, and falsehood. We committed ourselves to logic, reason, liberty, equality, and freedom. We replaced god and superstition and conjecture with evidence-based data in the fields and areas that we could. That unprecedented advancement continued for hundreds of years. Scientists and researchers observed more about the natural world. They tested hypotheses. They drew deeper lines between what we do understand, what we can understand, and what we just don't know yet. It was a time when medicine could save lives that could never have been saved before, when human beings launched themselves into and then returned from space, when travel became convenient (sort of), and communication became instantaneous.

    Cue the age of anti-intellectualism and its adherents: Populist right wingers with nationalistic and self interests. A group of people with no formal training, no contradictory evidence, and no logical explanations for anything who "don't agree" with science. They think education is at best, unimportant, and at worst, mind control that their philosophical opponents administer. They don't know what a fact is. They think that an "opinion" that purple means dinosaur and that 2 + 2 = 5 is just as valid and useful as admitting that purple is a color, dinosaurs are extinct, and 2 + 2 = 4. They believe in the wildest conspiracy theories that I think have ever existed. We no longer share a common language. I don't mean linguistically. I mean that Trumpists have no attachment to reality. It is as useful to involve a Trumist in an important consideration as it is to involve a 100-year-old schizophrenic with advanced Alzheimer's.

    That is why Trumpists do not belong in a civilized society.

    Another vote to kill off anyone who disagrees with the Democratic Socialist agenda. Awesome. Biden's bid for Unity is doomed to failure.
    God bless America and those who defend our Constitution.

    Exactly. I knew that if I took the time to actually answer your question, you would flee. You -- and all those like you -- are literally the dumbest people that have existed in generations. You're weak, dishonest, worthless people. You might call that "hate", but that's probably because you have a second grade education and aren't able to understand why rational, thinking people don't like you. We don't like what you have done to this country and our world. I don't hate you. I just think you're all a bunch of inbred bottom dwellers who don't deserve to participate in a democracy because you have none of the skills necessary to participate in it properly.

    Demand? Revenge is a bit more accurate, motivated by irrationality. You hated and insulted us for 4 years, then blame it all on us. Remarkable.

    You sound like a Nazi.

    Yes, I think you all should be rounded up. This should not be so difficult for you to follow.

    Ironc coming from a leftist tard who for four years whined and railed for disunity and #resist. Where were all you "unity" dunces when Trump was elected? I never heard any of you, your fellow Marxist retards or the PHONY media call for it.

    Try to be less stuopid and dishonest, hypocrite.
