Hell just got a new resident.
I leave my claim that someone went to Hell to murderers, rapists (including child molesters), human traffickers, war criminals, large-scale thieves, and large-scale drug traffickers. You may hate her political values, as I do -- but she didn't hold some children as prisoners, mow down helpless prisoners, torture false confessions out of political prisoners, bankrupt a large company through embezzlement, or serve as a "smakehead". She didn't lose control of her trigger finger while robbing a liquor store.
Sure, her politics were nasty. But someone on the other side could call you (or me) a "baby-killer" for failing to support a harshly-enforced ban on abortions.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
