My mind is bewildered sometimes observing the intensity of how conservatives and the far right talk about liberals and the left online, that I have been watching since back in the later Obama years. I low key believe Fox News and some YouTube channels are like  "They Live" news networks, but instead of obey and consume it's 'your liberal neighbor you should watch out for them, you never know and you don't want to be caught off guard right?' indoctrination. A few years back I came across some comment section on Facebook that has left a permanent disturbance in me. This person was talking about how their neighbor's adult kids were liberals and the neighbor is in bad health and they wouldn't put it past them if their liberal kids did something to hurry it along. Another person was agreeing and commiserating bonded together by this crazy idea! Like how so you get to that point? 

I've known many hardcore conservatives throughout my life. I grew up around wealthy conservatives and then working class ones. I know an unfortunate amount who went down some dedicated paths of paranoid conspiracies later on. Some who weren't even conservatives, but I would never think that because they have those beliefs they'd knock off their loved ones. I have no understanding of how someone comes to this logic, because a family member of theirs is in ill health and pain that due to their political beliefs they are planning to kill them. Is that what some of you Republicans want to do or planning yourself if you got the chance? I uses to have a bunch of images I would play around with on my blog that was dedicated to conservatism and conspiracies, and I remember finding a conservative shirt that listed 10 good things about liberals and every numerical line is empty except number 10 concluding so poetically 'They die.' In this Trump era I'm sick of the eulogizing of some nobility of past GOP presidents and a most recent one before the maniac we are stuck with, that Obama restored and white washed a destructive legacy. 

This recent October I went to an exhibition on the Blacklist and Red Scare that swept the country on and off for a couple decades at the New York Historical Society. An excellent exhibition though it was disturbing how easy it was to compare the similarities of the present day. I wonder if that kind of exhibition will be allowed in the future, or will it be decried as wokeness and DEI paranoia. Demands and threats to take it down. To bad so many Americans who aren't even hardcore conservatives or conservatives at all, don't take the GOP as the threat they are. Another thing that has baffled me for years is why so many Republicans don't believe the left are sincere in wanting a better world and human rights. That we must be pulling the wool over their eyes with nefarious intentions. I don't know. A shame.
