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

The crazy thing is that my parents raised me to be this way and now that I am it's like they're surprised I care and give a damn. It is whack to me that I am now exactly what they taught me to be and now that upsets them.

    I feel that so hard. I got called a pinko commie a decade or more ago because I advocated for basic christian morals for people conservatives don't like.

    Fuck me for actually internalizing the morals I was raised with, right?

    Maybe early onset dementia. One of the symptoms is loss of empathy. The lead, DDT and other pesticides they were exposed to in their youth are now taking effect. In the next few decades we are going to see a pandemic of boomers suffering from dementia.
