There is no good side in a conflict: both sides are parts of a human disease.

Supporting and voting for Trump is a democratic choice. Demonizing him is the disease of hatred.
Protesting against violence in Ukraine and Gaza is a call for peace. Demonizing Russians and Palestinians is the disease of fear. Retaliation is not self-defense. It's the disease of rage.

Hate, fear, and rage are the incarnations of evil.

No one is demonizing Tяump, we are judging him to be a threat to democracy based on his own words.

@calicuz Just don't vote for Trump. It's that simple. Why bother to judge him?

There is a huge difference between Trump and Kamala Harris. Trump organized an insurrection aimed at overthrowing the government because he lost the 2020 election. The rioter's intention was to kidnap or kill American congress members. That is high treason.
Trump has openly stated he intends to suspend the constitution if elected. He stated he intends to be a dictator on "Day One."

Kamala Harris served ably and well as Vice President. She was a highly successful Attorney General of California. Harris respects the constitution and rule of law. Trump does not.

@sree251 The reason for the national debt is congress giving huge tax cuts to the wealthy and corporations. They then use the tax cut for stock buy-backs, which create no jobs or new wealth. The solution to the national debt is to raise taxes on the wealthy. Return the tax rate to what it was in 1960. Also, a small tax on transactions in securities, say 1/4 of 1%, would raise billions = No more big national debt.

Are you saying that the government is not collecting enough taxes from the wealthy to pay for expenses? There are only three major expense components: 1. healthcare, 2. social security, and
3. foreign wars. Corporations contribute payroll taxes, and the wealthy have nothing to do with 1, 2, and 3.

The solution to the national debt is to raise taxes on the wealthy. Return the tax rate to what it was in 1960. Also, a small tax on transactions in securities, say 1/4 of 1%, would raise billions = No more big national debt.

A small tax on securities would be another burden on taxpayers' 401ks. Trump's plan to use Elon Musk to oversee government efficiency is the answer. We need businessmen like Musk and Trump watching over the prudent use of taxpayers' money. Shutting down Congress and sending politicians back to their home states would cut down expenses,

What about demonizing A H1tler? It’s trump’s choice to idolize him. Trump need not be demonized for idolizing H1tler.

The demonizers are a sick lot.

It’s trump’s choice to idolize him. Trump need not be demonized for idolizing H1tler.

Idolizing is a positive thing to do. See no evil.

Those emotions, through, like feed and selfishness, are a part of human nature, even though they may be baser parts.

I doubt they can be exorcised, and I'm not even sure it would be a good thing.
