(3,265 posts)yes, it is true they are in the grip of a horrible disease - but they do not WANT to be cured of it! Maybe 5% of them can be reached and rehabilitated. But I firmly believe the divide between our two ideologies is insurmountable. They will NEVER see the good in what we're trying to do, in helping each other, lifting others up - and we will NEVER be able to make the majority of them understand how badly brainwashed they are, how horribly misinformed. I have daydreamed of how wonderfully peaceful it would be for BOTH sides to just not have to deal with the other anymore. Let them secede, leave the border open for two years to give everyone who wants to move to the other side time to do so, and then slam the fucking door shut.
Imagine how peaceful and calm and uplifting and eco-minded and INSURED our lives would be.
