Personally, I find it the most meaningful trait of a person whether they find reasons and justifications to act as insulting assholes because they like doing so, or whether they just don't, because they don't like doing so. Politics is one of the most prominent 'reasons' for it these days it seems. It easily controls people with a joy for hurting others to self-righteously gang up on someone and have a blast picking on them, even better if it's in a group. On anyone who makes a convenient target for it. Be that a minority or majority. It's actually interesting to see how the internet turned things a bit so now majorities make just as convenient targets for it - or even moreso - than minorities. But I do hope political alignment ends up more meaningful than whether you have your fun hurting one group or the other. Practically, I mean, not in theory. I don't want to hear whose rights you support while all you actually do is use them and their suffering as weapons to have your own fun ganging up on others.

Regardless of political alignment, having joy or no joy at hurting others is the most consistent thing I found in people. I never see people who love hurting others passing up a super convenient opportunity to do so. Without fail, it happens, every time. There's always 'reasons to do so' for them, and never 'reasons not to do so'. And when challenged, there's always 'reasons why it's not that bad' and never 'reasons why it may actually be that bad'. This Chris Pratt thing too just feels like two camps of these kinds of assholes trying to hurt each other. Nothing less, nothing more. "Just another day," in the end. But then it got brought back up because convenient opportunities are impossible to pass up on, I suppose.
