But, I’ll be fully serious here, people. I genuinely don’t throw the term “evil” around lightly. I really do think that oversimplifying any conflicts or motivations as “good” or “evil” is outright dangerous and only serves to make them worse. Most “evildoers” genuinely have good intentions in some way, or at least think they do. Sometimes it’s just their past and environment that made them so.
Calling your oppenents, whoever they may be, “evil” is demonizign them and frankly isn’t that much different than what Nazis did back in WW2.
Hence why I don’t like to demonize Trumpists that much, despite STRONGLY disagreeing with them. Most of them might genuinely think Donald Trump is the “strong leader” the USA needs to remain afloat in the current climate. Others might be outright manipulated or may be desperate. Hell, even Trump himself, despite his many, many, many, many, many, many, MANY flaws I think is simply too intellectually disabled and emotionally stunted to fully grasp that he’s doing wrong things. I still HATE him because he’s an ASSHOLE, but I don’t genuinely think he’s “evil incarnate”.
So, yeah, Ms. Abby Johnson. I don’t call my opponents “evil hellspawn” just for disagreeing with them as opposed to you. And I do think that is why your side is dangerous, even if not outright evil.
