(62,325 posts)message reflects badly on THEIR team, are now in the minority. Polls show that the majority of the American people support the messenger, Snowden eg.
What is so despicable about those who attack the messenger is that we KNOW, because we have now seen it play out on both sides, that those messenger attackers would support the SAME MESSAGE if THEIR team were out of office, and HAVE.
So the answer to 'how do they sleep at night', they have no conscience, well, have subjugated their normal human reaction to massive corruption and anti-Constitutional actions, bordering on treason, to their team's best interests, probably for some believing that THEIR team, while engaging in things they are uneasy about, will NEVER abuse their power!!!
To call that delusional is to be kind. Even the FFs warned against trusting, EVEN THEMSELVES, aware of human frailty.
But they are imo, responsible, these team loyalists, for the state of affairs we find ourselves in, on both sides. It is THEY who give legitimacy to the illegitimate, on both sides, making it extremely hard for those who want to retain this democracy to actually do so.
I feel more anger towards them now, than the actual perps, who could not get away with their crimes without those enablers.
