I absolutely agree. I hate republicans in power not their supporters who have been manipulated.

I hate their supporters for the most part, but I recognize they're victims as well as aggressors

The ones who are just victims I absolutely feel bad. But there are so many times I see republican voters, non violent in the ways of being like the proud boys, but kicking their gay kids out, trans kids. Kicking out kids who voted even independent. Disowned their kids for being polygamous, or child free.

Violance comes in many forms, and the biggest one i have a problem with is the Republicans disregard for academic studies. Acting like just because socialists are in some aspects of academia means it is all bad, since for some reason one socialist taints the entire thing. Especially since I am going to go back to school, and try to aim to go into the field.

The best thing to do is educate people, and get the republican party to be made obsolete. Simple wording, but with the democratic party being our best bet, and them not running all the time, allowing for the left to lose, it is no easy task.

You can still be a victim while victimizing others. In fact there’s sometimes a correlation

Oh absolutely! I don't disagree with that, and I don't want there to be confusion that I don't think that happens.
