    I have yet to find a team without resentful morons on it. It may just be part of the human condition.

    It’s easier to see the faults in those we already disagree with, and forgive those who are “on our side”. What’s an “unforgivable violation” is a “tragic forgivable character flaw” in someone you already support; “after all they are doing so much good”. You can see some really extreme versions of this line of thought recently.

      Nazis are killing kids in cages. Actively, like today. Not sure if that moves the needle for you at all.

      It does for me.
