Respect is not something to be freely given, but earned. That is something that I and many others have been taught, and have learned through experience. Dignity can be given, but when you abandon your own dignity you will find others who will not provide it to you.
You seem to exercise the paradox of tolerance. I cannot and will not tolerate the intolerant.
I used to have sympathy and compassion for them. I truly did. Their response to everything throughout the pandemic, their vitriolic attacks towards anything and anyone that was working to provide support, sympathy, empathy, compassion, or just improving the lives of those less fortunate have erased any sense of good will that I may have had for them.
If dehumanizing them dehumanizes me, then I accept it. They don’t deserve anyone’s sympathy or respect. The new only thing they deserve is contempt and the consequences of their actions.
How many have you seen or heard of that have been saved or recovered from being in the Trump cult?
I’ve seen so many times that these wastes of humans will double down on their cult beliefs rather than accept that they have been taken advantage of. Hell, a significant number of them want to actively hunt down “liberals” and shoot them dead. You might be able to save the ones who don’t listen to his word as gospel, but that number is low.
Not just the worst people but failed human beings. They lack any redeeming qualities to make them near human. There is no saving them, no redemption, no undoing what damage they have willingly accepted to themselves.
Unregulated, unmitigated, and unsupportable corrupt capitalism is what is killing Democracy. In the US there is no left leaning party, it is either Fascists, or Moderates.
They have to protect their fiscal interests. How else will they go on extravagant trips without owing a thing?
I grow to hate my home country more every day.
I'm sure that some of them are willingly spreading the propaganda. Example, Tucker Carlson.
His testimony will be:
"I don't recall."
"I don't remember."
"I plead the fifth."
So much money to be made from grifting right wingers.
If ($Donald_Trump -match "breathing") { $liar = $true }
For conservatives every accusation is a confession of their own guilt.

Something that negatively affects them and they will change just enough to make it not affect them.

Until they prove otherwise, I will not view them as worthy of any respect or recognition that I would give a normal person.

This point!?
It's been blatantly corrupt for a long ass time.

Almost unrecognizable from just three years ago.
Similar thing happened to me.
The Nazi that I responded to had threatening language, and wished harm on me and whatnot, but they remained unpunished.
Could also abolish SCOTUS. Maybe force it to not be a lifetime appointment and rather it be a rotating committee from lesser courts?
With conservatives, the cruelty is always the point. Same applies here. SCOTUS is just enforcing death on the impoverished.
I agree that Meta shouldn't be trusted, and thus not federated across the fediverse.
