I will not forgive

[RandomAccess]

107. Just so you know --

There's NO support in my post for the allegations you've made about me in your rage-filled rant. None.

You chose to misinterpret and mischaracterize what I did say and outright invent things I didn't say. AFAIC, you've gone way beyond strawman to straw universe. I'll leave the great bulk of it alone because it's just rubbish not worth responding to. Your third paragraph is particularly offensive and egregious, but I want to address your last paragraph:

You don't seem to be free of rage, only you focus it on me.

As a matter of fact, I was quite sincere -- your post DID help me. I found it quite ugly and inasmuch as I'm bone-weary of my own rage, it occurred to me: ENOUGH. Enough now. I don't want to carry this baggage around any longer.

You don't seem to be free of rage, only you focus it on me.

I think that's hard to do when you're not FEELING rage, isn't it? Nor do I see any rage against YOU (or anyone/anything) in my post. Some disapproval, yes, that I shared about myself. But not rage.

You don't seem to be free of rage, only you focus it on me. I find it difficult to believe that has anything to do with fighting fascism.

When someone puts the focus is on MY rage, MY nonforgiveness, MY faultfinding and damnation of others, the attention is focused inward. There's clearly less attention and energy that can be devoted to fixing things. Maybe that will occur to you at some point. Maybe not.

In fact, you seem determined that they not be held accountable or even criticized for their actions.

That's true only in your imagination, which also basically applies to your entire response to me.

Look. I keep my Twitter and FB feeds pretty clean. But one of my FB friends ended up being someone who hated Hillary so much she just REFUSED to vote for her. I tried with all my might and repeatedly to tell her what a danger Trump was, to no avail. She said, "Congress will prevent him from doing much damage." This was NOT a politically uninformed person, but that attitude represents a level of naivete or denial or something that I don't understand at all. And absolutely couldn't breech. I unfriended her over the whole thing, but I've been tempted to go back and taunt her a bit -- you know, hold her accountable. But, what would be the point? There's nothing political at all in her timeline these days (more denial?). What would be the point? It might make ME feel good to rub her nose in it? That's just self-serving. And it fixes or helps NOTHING.

Or is that something you would do? What would you do to "hold them accountable"?

I think Joy Reid has it right in her piece here:

Why Republicans Must Pay for Trump Where she says, among other things: This is no time for intraparty perfectionism or partisan protectionism.

YMMV.
