(7,886 posts)I'd respectfully disagree.
Because, for starters, I don't see much difference between those who 'actually want' the cruelty and those who abide by it.
And MOST of them support Trump still, in spite of all he's done, said, and WANTS to do.
Or maybe I've seen too many polls, studies, and statistics like how 70 percent of Republicans think President Biden 'stole the election' and how 70 percent of them sympathize with the Capitol Insurrectionists, how the majority of them favour mass deportations, and how as many as one third of them even support violence as a means of assuming political control.
Nor am I inclined to excuse denialism, the rejection of uncomfortable truths and facts, and willfully deliberate ignorance.
Trump and his MAGA party were and ARE quite CLEAR as to their words, their messages, their demonizations, their rhetoric, their hate, and their intent.
In my book, people who choose to look away, while their leadership engages in hate, CRUELTY, discord, and inhumanity,
those who don't WANT to know, are equally guilty.
And with the choices clear and the danger imminent, I'm not inclined to cut the 'undecideds' the uninformed, or the willfully OBLIVIOUS, any slack.
