It's garbage because brainless rednecks voted in Trump and Republicans
while that was pretty fucking bad, let's not pretend it is the singular source of all evil.
Huh, almost like I didn't say it was perfect.
Did you think they can only be garbage or perfect and nothing else? Really?
Yes
Republicans existed before Trump. How can you fail to understand the basic concept of persistence? The Republicans that are still helping to screw up what Trump started were here before, also screwing things up. They didn't poof in to existence with Trump.
Stop pretending like anyone is saying it was unicorns and rainbows. A false dichotomy is patheticlly inept thinking skills on your part.
The republicans of the 50s are far different than those of the 80s and today. You don't expect everyone to have the exact same beliefs as you do you?
The person they were responding to specifically referenced Trump and modern Republicans. My point does not require Republicans having kept the same ideals throughout many decades of time. The 80's were almost half a damn century ago.
bipartisans think in absolutes, 2-dimensional mind
They are not brainless. They have different values than you and me.
Both can be true
Then they can keep their "values" to themselves and out of my government.
They are also citizen of the country you live. It is not yours any more than it is theirs.
Would you tolerate the Taliban in your country? If the answer is no, then you wouldn't "tolerate" christofascists either.
