Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

I don't hate them for their ignorance. I would actually stop short of saying I hate them at all. But the deep disdain I feel for them is for the hellscape they have dragged all of us into, and which will take decades to fix, if we fix it at all.
So yeah, I'm probably burdened by being ignorant of how that makes me just as bad as they are.
Considering I'll die of old age still being harmed by what they have empowered and are currently cheering for, and will also die knowing my kids' lives and the lives of everyone I care about will be worse because of it, I'm ok with that.
