That's the problem, you people think we can win by being "better" than they are. And that's a total falsehood. Our enemies don't lay awake at night wondering if they're being "better" or good people; they only plot to kill us off without a second thought.

If we want to win this war we must be as ruthless and committed to destruction as they are. It's them or us - and it's time to wake up and see that the situation really is that desperate, and not waste time worrying about "being better than" our enemies.

Yeah, good luck with that mindset.

It's a lot easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar.

Painting people you don't agree with as "enemies" is exactly what causes this balkanization to happen and pushes everyone further and further to the fringes.

Instead of trying to "defeat" the people that vote right wing, we should try to present a more reasonable alternative for them than the increasingly extreme rethoric right wing politicians present them.

We don't "win" by killing everyone we disagree with, we win by convincing the right wing voters to join the cause and perceive the world through a less extreme lens.

I don't give a damn about catching flies (good analogy for trumpers BTW) with honey. The perverted supporters of trump are traitors to not only our country but to humanity as a whole and are filthy excrement. I care about the wholesale extermination of filth.

I care about a cleansing across the globe of all the rightwing filthmongers who exist. We are the better tomorrow the world needs, and first we must clear the earth of their sick perversion by any means.
