The hardest part of the political climate right now is realizing how many people around me are evil. Not stupid. Not misinformed. Just blatantly enjoying and celebrating the suffering of others. @persianmama111

Especially within the last two weeks with the thousands of comments I've already seen if people actively celebrating the death of two innocent people.

It's horrifying to know that we are surrounded by this many sociopaths

    It's not sociopathy. It's in/out group thinking with a dehumanization effort put into the outgroup. That, coupled with cult-like social programming ("I've burnt bridges with all of the people who think that this is wrong, if I tell the others in the group I think this is wrong, I'll have no one left") and you've got the mixture. People who belong to MAGA will align their thinking with what the party says because they don't want to be kicked out and become one of "them".
