> which, in the case of almost every single person on earth, contains a heady and messy mix of things you might and might not approve of, internally inconsistent ideas, half-formed or incorrect beliefs, barely controlled impulses, and inchoate moral guideposts. We can disagree on this, but trying to discern whether a person’s character is binarily “good” or “bad” based on a single vote is absurd. You are doing a disservice to both yourself and the other person.

Yeah, I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff about any given Trump supporter that I might find admirable. Hitler loved animals, and all that. I’m not interested in panning for good in the face of someone who is (at worst) screaming slurs in my face or (at best) studiously pretending its not happening because letting people strip me of my human rights helps line their wallet.

Fuck 'em. I’m tired of being lectured to about how I shouldn’t judge people who are actively trying to harm me. These are people who just voted in favor of a guy who campaigned on putting people in concentration camps, and I’m supposed to try and see the good in them?

To hell with that bullshit.
