Look, these fuckers are incredibly dangerous, impede anything good, inflict great harm & as the foot soldiers of terrible ideologies could end us all. Defending ourselves & everything good against them is paramount, and protecting those who are more vulnerable even more so.

But, for so long as they remain alive, terrible people retain the potential to change into ok people. Sure, statistically the chances are low, but that tells us nothing about any given individual. So whilst their targets have to give them the widest possible berth for their own safety, and could not be criticised for declining to help a Trumper (or others in the same vein), when they are being dealt with they should still be dealt with humanely and fairly. If we’re face to face, with no support, all bets are off, but once their behaviours are contained they should be treated as one would treat any incredibly damaged creature - with caution, yes, but never cruelty.

Otherwise we become transformed by hate of their hatreds & attacks into something a bit less like ourselves, and a lot more like them.

As for their offspring, leave them out of it. Saw your point about merely trying to get the Trumpers to pay heed, but it already seems many have a very strange sense of “care” for their children, whereas others are so delusional they believe the libs & left are already intent on harming their kids. Plus the statement is ideal for them to use terrify their children about the perils of non-Trumpers.

I don’t mean to seem like I’m having a go at you. Your rage & disgust are valid.
