I understand that. The Republicans have pushed all the right buttons and the Democrats in charge have benefited and let it happen. It's all about money and disinformation. But there is an empathy gap, as well as cultural gaps that have existed since the Civil War.

Then why play into the hands of the Oligarchy and disparage people who you need to recruit to your side?

I do try to reach out and attempt to open the minds of people at times. But the cruelty, misogyny, pedophilia, grift, voter disenfranchisement and lack of empathy, to name a few, are behaviors that need to be pointed out, criticized and ridiculed. Humor is a healthy way to argue.

There are two types of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Those who damn everything he does, and those for which he can do no wrong. I fall in neither camp. Life isn't all black and white.
