Intending Ill

 THE SIMONE BILES SAGA exemplifies and more than justifies my current contempt for contemporary conservatism, as do many other situations. I prefer praising her, praising Simone Biles, to verbally prosecuting her. Disappointed like everyone else by the loss of American medals, I prefer to take the high ground, finding it morally superior, as well as more logical based on known facts, to love and support Simone, rather than giving her anger, hatred, and accusations of faking an injury, a mental and emotional crisis, and being a "quitter".  Conservatives, as always, are taking the low ground with Simone Biles, assuming the worst about her, only to enjoy being bullies. The dishonesty and descent into delusion ludicrously presented by many if not most conservatives as their version of truth is evil beyond belief, and lame. That conservatives believe and tell lies only to expedite and justify their political aims is proven by their embrace of Donald Trump's big election lie, and their insistence that Trump won the election. This alone confirms their moral emptiness, as does their pretense of denying climate change, claiming its a hoax. Pretending that climate change is a hoax to avoid being responsible for it and to avoid acknowledging the need to change their political opinions is mental illness, part of the larger mental illness that is contemporary American conservatism, in service to unmitigated evil, much like supporting Trump and his election lie, even after his attempt to overthrow the government with a a violent insurrection. Trump tried to bully the government into overthrowing the election results, and when that failed, he tried to incite a violent mob to do the job, and when that failed, his supporters seemed to support him all the more. Many Republicans deny that the insurrection happened, describing it as a "friendly visit", while others still insist that it was a good idea, a noble attempt to save the country. The gut and heart wrenching testimony of the four police officers in Congress the other day, which so vividly revealed the nightmarish violence and evil of Trump supporters, all Trump supporters, Trump supporters are now mocking as purely theatrical, an act put on by people paid by Democrats to make a harmless event look melodramatic. This ploy is widespread among white conservative Christian Trump supporters, all of whom are now, by their attitude towards Simone Biles as well as towards the Capitol Hill police officer's testimony, putting their unabashed unmitigated evil on full display, in front of the nation and the world. As ashamed of themselves as they should be, they will instead be proud and angry, and, as always, dangerous and harmful to the country and the world.
