    I appreciate and support your position, but I am definitely not better than that. In fact, I may be worse than that. I do not expect you to have the same taste for blood that I have, though. We have different life experiences.

    Conservatives chose us (non-conservatives) to be their enemy. I have no choice in the matter. I have politely turned my cheek for over 50 years thinking they would eventually become kinder or that this would all go away some day. Conservatives have only become more deadly and more sadistic.

    Conservatives do not see us as humans. When you show them kindness, they can only see it as weakness to exploit. That is just who they are at their core. Humanizing an enemy who cannot humanize you in return is a deadly mistake. So, to me, they should be treated exactly (if not worse) than they treat their enemy.

    Fun fact: I don’t crush actual cockroaches. Real cockroaches have done nothing wrong and pose no threat.

      I think you’re missing your point. It’s what we do to ourselves when we dehumanise others that’s the issue. I don’t see a difference between the vulgarity of those dishonest, gaslighting conservatives and people who talk like you did above.
