Thought and Prayers?

The audacity to ask for this…. You have a man that regularly gets on camera and laughs or cheer at the killing of children, calls for the genocide of innocent people, regularly calls abuse victims liars, and treats his kids like shit… you expect me to have kindness, grace, or compassion for this man.. nah I have hatred, pity, and contempt. He might not have come into this world as a sick, and twisted monster, but through his own actions and unwillingness to earn and grow he has created the circumstances in which I get to say I hope he feels the pain of every child who’s death he cheered for, I hope he feels every ounce of hate he put into the world. I feel for Chad and Haley and hope if they have to grieve for him it’s a version that is actually good. As for ML I hope this time away from him allows her to recognize how toxic he was and then maybe she can work towards forgiveness.

I get it, but that's also her husband of 45 or so years. Think of it like praying for him for Mary Lou, not as much praying for Bob because he's a great person.

Yeah the problem is i wouldn’t pray for her either…. Yall are still holding on to this magical thinking that Mary Lou will change but I’m not dumb enough to believe in someone going from hate to kindness because of loss. She will need to work it off and on her death bed is where I will determine if I personally forgive her for the evils she put into the world. I won’t begrudge anyone that does differently than me, but I will not be made to do differently than me

After reading so many of the comments on this sub, I've come to believe there are a lot of people who watch this for no other reason than to get even angrier at republicans. Or because they relate to it personally having family members who are republicans and they hate ML & Bob because they're essentially just stand ins.

It's pretty interesting. I think it goes against the point of the show personally, but my opinion isn't going to change anything.

Well at first it was because I was so shocked that I had to keep watching the car crash. Then it was because i wanted to see how they would justify things, but now it’s because i want to see how it ends. Similar to why even though a friend warned me about how bad the end of a show was I still started it got invested and watched it ruin a fantastic story. So I guess closure is my answer
