Honestly, no. As much as bitter we all are towards MAGA cultists, they are still people - most of them poor, uneducated, hopeful and manipulated. All these traits are especially relevant in my point.
They are poor and uneducated, because they were born in an inherently broken environment that gave them ultimately zero chance at life. I wasn't randomly spawned in a house such as theirs, and I had an insane luxury of being born and raised the way that allowed me to form self-consciousness and empathy which was needed for me to end up as a socialist.
They, however, are stuck in an endless circle of misery and they need to be helped. Don't blame the people, blame the robber barons that feed them with lies, hatred and simple solutions for insanely complex problems. These that are easy to digest but awfully deceptive, vile and false.
And don't expect brainwashed people to be reasonable about their political interest. Don't hate them for them not having been given dignity by the system that is broken.
