You tend to reflexively handwave nearly everything you disagree with as a "right-wing meme" or some such nonsense and simply ignore it thereafter.

I definitely would wear the devil down. My wife will attest to that.😁The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.

That just shows how deep the swamp is and how important it is to clean up the swamp. We have seen how dirty the FBI is. We already knew the drug-running CIA was largely dirty. Heck, because of Trump even Hollywood has removed some of its swamp monsters. It is a messy job and won't look like anything is getting clean until a bunch of the work is done. But keep praying for good results.
