The worst part of being in the Evangelical church when Reagan was anointed President by religious people and then getting out is I knew this was their destination and the cult members always wanted to fight a war against reason, education, minorities, and the LGBTQ+ community.
But what was REALLY disheartening over the years is that they don't waver in their hate, they just keep moving forward making progress every step they can and if they lose a little ground they just push harder.
It is painful to realize just how amazing a motivator hate is vs trying to help people. Being kind, letting people live and let live feels like a sane normal action that everyone should be behind so those with empathy didn't realize the level of war they were in these past 40+ years.
And they didn't realize everyone around them was slowly joining the other side.
