The new Salem Witch Trials - Trans people

Egg prices are down here but beef prices have skyrocketed.

Part of RFKj's "MAHA" plan.
Americans will be much better off eating less red meat. Like, a lot less.

Amirite? Cranking up beef and pork prices will improve the health of America, right?

Not for cattle ranchers or pig farmers.

Maybe they'll go into the soybean farming biz. That'll help, amirite?

Republicans hate their own children more than they love their country; they'll burn the latter down, for a chance to regain control of the former.

They hate themselves, and just don’t do well identifying that emotion. So it’s transferred to others—projection.

A certain kind of person, often raised in an abusive environment, cannot tolerate in their offspring, traits that they were taught were weak or childish or immoral. Traits that they might share to some extent or fear they share or saw those who shared those traits treated badly.

My personal observation is that for the most part, people who are confident and happy with themselves tend to be more comfortable with and accepting of people who are ‘different’ from them.

People who spew hatred are not happy people.

Yea, I agree with that. I think that the larger issue is that they are weak. And weak people are bullies whom need someone to blame their problems on. When my Grandpa was on earth, people blamed jews, blacks, and Irish for their problems. When I was a kid, they blamed gays. Today, they blame trans. It's up to us, stronger people, to stand up for people being bullied.

I take it a step further: that people don't really hate those different from them, but rather those who are similar to them but whose mechanism of coping was self-acceptance rather than aelf-rejection.

Whole humans could potentially choose ANYTHING to ground their rejection, as you imply, usually it is related to exactly what of themselves they seek to reject, because there is this inking even in my own mind that direct opposition is the surest way, if there's any way at all to reject it "of the self" (there's not).

It could break either way for many, I think, and part of the goal of the modern church is to make it blossom into self-hate and hate of all those who reject the anti-christianity of the modern "church".
