    wait… i agree that being a democrat doesn’t make you good at all, in fact if you identify with the party you’re more likely to be bad. but if you’re a republican you’re absolutely, one hundred percent bad. what the fuck kind of redeeming qualities does the republican party even pretend to have anymore? it’s an openly fascist party.

      I generally try to give the benefit of the doubt, being in Nebraska I know quite a few true Republicans who regret voting for Trump the first time, voted for biden begrudgingly and can’t believe what’s happened to their party. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention for years and Trump and the MAGAts finally woke them up.

      That being said I completely agree with your overall view of our current political catastrophe.

        I knew someone like that, you know what he did after voting for trump the first time? He stopped being a republican and found another party that had his value. No excuses, if you choose to keep calling yourself a Nazi after Hitler said he would gas the undesirable then you’re a pos.

          Your not wrong I’m just bringing my personal experience to the table. If you call yourself a Nazi or a Confederate ext. you really can’t call yourself an American in my opinion. Politics and the 24 hour news cycle has turned otherwise reasonable people into completely unhinged uninformed morons. Unfortunately those just across the aisle are to chicken shit to argue with the loudest 10%. To them it’s that or they loes which apparently more important than democracy. Honestly the more I type the more I agree with you
