We'll never change a goddamn thing if we waste our time extending a hand of compassionate understanding to maniacs. The right wing has proven TIME AND TIME AND TIME again that there is no "center" for them. There is no "moderate" stance. It's hard right or go fuck yourself and when we try to act like human beings to them they bend the country over a barrel and assfuck us. This isn't about "bashing" them. That's childish. This is about FINALLY calling them out on their foaming-at-the-mouth bullshit and telling them YOU ARE WRONG and YOU ARE CRAZY and WE DON'T HAVE TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.
