Brent Jindra, a tech salesman, voted for President Trump three times, drawn by his aggressive immigration agenda. He never imagined the crackdown would ensnare his own wife.

Only until it affects them do they realize rights are for everyone. Bit by bit, things will turn, but boy is it taking a long time.

    So you see, the upper echelon want us fighting with ourselves. The more you feed into it, the more you play into their hands.

    Yes, you will never have the same views as those folks, but don't take your eye off the ball. A fragmented population is much easier to control.

    I'm not saying fully forgive or that you'll be best friends, but it's your countryman. Unite against the real enemy.

    Education is the only long term answer. RWA personality disorder is a genetic predisposition, but the brainwashing that turned these people into self-destructive fanatics, utterly subjugated by the drum of fear, anger, and hate, is frustrated directly by all forms of education, since lack of it is what the brainwashing exploits, directly.

    Unfortunately, once they have breached that gap and filled the fanatic’s mind with corrupted worldviews over decades, that represents a complete education of fear, anger, and hate, and their personality becomes so entangled with the corruption that little of who they once were or could be remains any longer.

    To escape that cult and become a former fanatic while possible requires intervention from loved ones, assuming any remain who they haven’t alienated, followed by a long personal journey to excise all the fear anger and hate, salvaging whatever uninfected shreds of their former self might remain, and growing anew.

    But that is a best case scenario. Most of these fanatics will remain as a cancer among us until they die.
