you don't. you believe them when they tell you who they are and remove them from your life.
Or, do what a disturbing number of people have done and make them the centrepiece of your entire life.
Posters all over your house, stickers and flags all over your mobility scooter, hats, T-shirts, the lot.
One of our neighbors had a MAGA collar for their dog...THEIR DOG. Why do they need to drag their DOG into this? He was a good boy. (Was, because the dog passed away from cancer a year or two ago.)
Very easy to hate. But it's part of the cycle.
It isn't hate. It's leaving the evil, cruel, and/or misinformed alone.
It's not hate to cut horrible people out of your life. You get to pick who you let into your universe. Be picky.
Nah, I cut my parents out of my life entirely due to the racism they have allowed to grow and fester around them in the last few years. I'm completely done with it. Not giving them any reason to think it okay or forgivable.
my dad was spouting trump shit. I don't know if he was legit or just trying to get a rise out of me, but fuck that. il told him "I don't associate with trump supporters, so fix that or move on. you raised me better than that, stop drinking Kool aid."
