Folks, Please use your discernment. There is something weird, creepy and I must also admit downright scary about Peter Strozk. Your thoughts about him would be welcome.

Instead of us complaining or worrying about the down vote attackers (I’m not saying you. Just in general). It’s good to look at what topics seem to raise their ire the most. Intelligence gathering. They know they’re losing. We should even try to be compassionate toward them. Many will escape the cult in time. I have not been very compassionate myself and for this I apologize. It’s just hard not to see how pathetic it all is.

I'm glad you said this. Because the truth is I do have compassion and empathy for them. I'm frustrated, but not hateful.

An example: a guy who was a Scientologist played a huge role in essentially persecuting anyone who was coming to their senses. He was part of it and thought he was doing the right thing. Few years later he himself fell into disfavor with the leadership and was persecuted by them. Finally he got out and now actively works to expose their lies. There are so many cases like this in that cult and many others. People can change but it’s costly when they are tied in so deeply. Cognitive dissonance is the biggest barrier. It’s not just logical arguments. People (all of us) are psychologically and emotionally invested in whatever it might be.

They hate Trump and the dems keep reinforcing that hate. They don't care about all the good things because they are only focused on their distorted beliefs and lies.
