The people who did this, and the people that enabled them should never be forgiven.
I think people misunderstand what I'm saying. I'm not saying you should "forgive" anyone. Only a fool would forgive people who have done such things. I'm saying that being bitter and angry about it doesn't hurt them, only you. At the same time, do the work to ensure that they never get such power again.
They totally broke our society's faith in science
And thank God for that, because "the science" is almost exclusively abused when used as an argument for anything.
In short, these motherfucking people used this thing to push all of our country to the very brink. They've nearly broken everything.
Only in America is it 'nearly' everything. Here in Europe, it's everything, period.
They need to be removed from ever being in a position where they can hold power over others. Period. Never forget. Never forgive.
Yes. But do stuff that harms them (legally), not harms yourself.
We're just a bit different, then. I don't see being bitter/angry - so long as it's not consuming you entirely - as being a bad thing. Negative emotions can be very good, so long as they are being put to good use - so long as they are being used as the will to action.
What is the alternative here? Apathy? If people do that, it's just going to let those who were responsible for this keep doing what they are doing, and make no mistake - that is absolutely what they are planning on doing, if people let them get away with it.
If people let them get away with this, with just a minor amount of pain, they are just going to see it as a small speed bump. The second the next thing/crisis comes along, they are going to be right back at it, banging the drum, using that thing/crisis to insert their agenda.
They need to be driven out. It needs to be clear to them that, you don't get to do what you have done, and ever be allowed to do it again.

I actually agree. But I see a lot of people taking it too far. Hell, including myself. My heart says that the ruling classes should be hated with the heat of a thousand suns, but my brain tells me that this will only be bad for me.

At the very least.
