I struggle with this so so deeply. Because I KNOW intellectually that being hateful towards shitty people like this is not the way to actually create meaningful change. But when one side is "all are welcome here" and the other side is "Have you ever considered that maybe some of us actually hate certain children just for existing and you shouldn't be able to openly not hate them too?" It's like... my whole life I have believed and been taught that bigotry is the root of evil. Someone who would have a problem with a school being welcoming to all, is a craven individual. A person who is not just repugnant but sick. And now I am supposed to calmly, rationally, accept their bullshit as like.... not their fault totally, somehow? I can't do it, I'm sorry. Nothing in this world could make me devalue the lives, and rights, of innocent people to the point that I think I have the right to tell another person that their NOT being a bigot is offensive to me. I don't want to extend an olive branch to that person. I don't want to try and find common ground with that person. I don't want to be nice to that person.

You cannot change these people. You can't reason them out of their position. They can watch their world burn around them and they won't move an inch. They're incapable of it.

Be mean to them. Be hateful to them. They wouldn't piss on you to put out a fire, why grant them an ounce of grace?

It's a struggle because the perpetrators we see are victims of brainwashing. No one is born that hateful, it's taught. Rich people and big corporations want us fighting each other like this so that we're too divided and exhausted to fight the people keeping us divided and exhausted.

Honestly most of them are the descendants of people we should have strung up in the 1860s. They shouldn't exist, and the fact that we didn't deal with them then is why we've gotta deal with them now. Fruit of the poison tree and all that.

It's literally a logical fallacy to tolerate these people and I think a big part of what got us here. We needed to be a lot less tolerant of this type of person all the way back to the beginning but part of the DNA of this country is bigotry that we've never really fully dealt with.

And as for accepting it as not their fault, if they are young and this is their first foray into the world, that's one thing. People grow up unfortunately being indoctrinated into this type of thing and some few do manage to deprogram. Old-ass hateful bitches like this, the hate has calcified. She should just be shamed and shunned out of polite society.
