The post I meant to write, and then meant again to write a follow up yesterday before my body decided to have a multi-system failure, was:

When progressives get moralistic they fail because they are playing the same hateful game the fashies are, and those folks have centuries of experience.

In my experience, if you give the other grace, you allow hope, and inspire loyalty.

It's difficult because so many of them are truly awful, often literally murderous, people.

Who still get grace.
