Pardon me for not finding “vulnerable people need to die for my ideology” very convincing.

I like the cut of your jib! It's too often I see blanket statements about all Republicans are Nazis, racist, etc. You can't understand your opposition or why they might believe what they believe if you just see everyone as cartoon evil.
I like the idea that "no person is the villain of their own story." As you say, they for the most part believe they are doing the right thing according to the information they've been subjected to. It's an incredibly difficult problem especially as we understand the importance of a free press.
No person is the villain in their own story, yet I see people blatantly run red lights nearly every day. Most people know perfectly well the shit they do is atrocious.
