-----------------
I see vile right there in the synonyms for demonic? I don't see how I could make a better case.
But the point I make is that because of the egotistical component of truthiness thinking and the high priority conservatives place on morality, they do not want to admit to demonizing others because they know it's immoral. Thus conservatives have all the advantages. They imagine themselves moral when they are not and crucify liberals as the ones who are immoral while functioning in a complete state of denial. It is this truth about conservatives that makes liberals like Mathews sick. Conservatives demonize liberals and when they are demonized for demonizing they have a fucking fit.
It has not always been true that conservatives are so insane. But we are all lost together as long as conservatives defend against the truth.
So can you see that you demonied Mathews by calling him vile?
