Wrote a long explanation. Deleted it. Here is a good metaphor. Good Christians say:
Hate the sin, love the sinner.
Ultra-right say:
Hate the sin, burn the sinner.
Please keep in mind this is has nothing to do with religion. They look like us. They have American flags. Go go military, and own guns like any rational person would. Anti-vax. They say the same things as us. Hard workers, good salt of the earth folks... on the outside.
On the inside they have given up hope on reconciling the country. They think everybody who does not agree with them is a lefty cuck. They are just a little too quick to laugh at their opposition, and would show no compassion to a lefty's family if they would be put in dire straights. A BLM supporter who was red-pilled is just another traitor: no quarter. And sometimes, they wear their bigotry a bit too easily on their sleeve. They, like the extreme-left are nearly dogmatic in their stance and will not capitulate ever.
Look around here. Look at some posts here, and at TDW. You'll spot them quick.
Exactly. And I have no issue DEFEDNING people like that, but I do not want anyone like that on my offensive fighting force IF things get to that point.
Truthfully, though, I was a lot like them. I was convinced that they were hopeless and a real threat to society... then I looked at history and I saw that they are being manipulated same as we are. God never gave up on me so I sure as hell will not give up on them.
The people you describe don't only love Trump, they practically want to crown him king of their lives and everyone else's. They have fallen for the hero worship trap because it gives them a comfortable excuse for inaction and a justifiable excuse to shoot lefties. In the end they're just playing themselves. They actually have more in common with the extreme left than they do us. Hell the extreme left and extreme right are a match made in... well, hell. They deserve each other. As always when it comes to fringe groups they are in the minority. And they will either learn to reconcile or be left behind.
