One of my hateful MAGA commenters who visits the program daily continued attacking. I finally decided to respond, not with hate but with a commentary that points out the genesis of his hate.
Hateful MAGA commenter.

Summary
In a recent KPFT 90.1 FM broadcast multistreamed on his Substack livestream, I addressed a hostile MAGA commenter with compassion and clarity. Instead of reciprocating hate, I reframed the exchange as an opportunity to show tough love, expose right-wing disinformation, and underscore the progressive commitment to building community even across ideological divides.
I addressed the MAGA critic as a “brother,” despite receiving hostility.
Emphasized that right-wing propaganda manipulates people into hating progressives.
Argued that hating back would only empower the “puppet masters” who spread lies.
Maintained that progressive policies improve—not harm—the lives of everyday people.
Urged viewers to spread the progressive message as the true vision of the majority for America.
This response models the progressive ethic: resist hate, engage with empathy, and dismantle the disinformation that poisons democracy. Progressives must remain rooted in solidarity, not bitterness, because change only comes through persistent and inclusive engagement.
The complete article is here on my Substack.
Viewers are encouraged to subscribe and join the conversation for more insightful commentary and to support progressive messages. Together, we can populate the internet with progressive messages that represent the true aspirations of most Americans.
