Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

That’s what I keep saying. If we want to win over MAGA voters, and thereby win elections, we need to out-MAGA MAGA. Maybe get David Duke to run, promise to deport any non-white hetero non-Christians, regardless of citizenship; no taxes for any corporation or billionaire. 90% taxes for poor.

President Duke will set all tariffs, write unilateral trade agreements, set all prices at the federal level, and set monthly harvest quotas for each district. Any district apparatchik who doesn’t meet their quota will be sent to re-education camps. Schools shut down, law enforcement increased.

This is the only way for Democrats to win. This strategy worked well last election, we need to keep reaching out to MAGA voters. They can change! MAGA! /s 🙄 🤮

Oddly enough, one could muse on whether God is the same way towards a worldful of sinners. If God didn't have an ultimate heaven and hell to lean ultimate principles on, and a foolproof salvational act to choose or refuse, God would have an insoluble problem.

Still, even earthly life is packed with examples of evil ultimately bringing grief, and goodness ultimately bringing joy. The answer, to me, would be "do what you can to teach, until you have to shake the dust off your feet and go away."

That anti-evil or pro good is outside the norm in US is rather worrying. I am beginning to think you may have a point. America needs some desperate soul searching, before being forced to do it sitting in the wreck of the country.
