DON'T GIVE EVIL AN INCH

In the movie, The Usual Suspects, the character of Verbal Kint said, “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist.” Evil people are not stupid. Worse still, their genius is used to exploit your humanity to accept their inhumanity. Opposition to evil is not forfeiting one’s humanity; it is rather protecting it. The enemies of democracy and our freedoms co-opt these freedoms, and then pervert them and twist them to their own purposes and then demand the “freedoms” for themselves. The intent is to force someone into giving in to their demands or being a hypocrite. That’s a false choice. It is oxymoronic for us to grant rights to people who deny them to themselves.
