  I totally get what you say. And I really really DO NOT WANT to argue with you. I support and respect what you are saying. But from my prospective I would argue both sides are equally dangerous. Personally I have been burned by both side equally. The sequester, the patriot act, the shear amount of money we wast on the military industrial complex. Iraq/Afghanistan was a bi-partisan venture. The war on drugs, the war on the LGBTQ until only in the last 10  yearsih have the democrats finally switched. So me personally, I’m done supporting either side. Both side sent me war to kill the poorest people on the planet. Both side prolonged the war. Anyways. That’s just my experience. Don’t want to take away from yours. Good luck to us all.
context: Well, Republicans control education in Texas, so if there's a problem you know who to blame. In fact, Republicans have controlled Texas for about 30 years, so really ANY complaints people have about the state can be laid at Republican feet. That gerrymandering they did last redistricting and are wanting to do again? Gee I wonder why people are losing faith in democracy when we're watching it dissolve in front of us. >
  
  Nah it's always the Democrats' fault. Admitting it's the GOP fucking everything up would require an inkling of self-awareness which isn't possible with conservatives. >
  
  Why not both. >
  
  Because we are talking about people acting in bad faith so labeling them appropriately is important.  The point of what they are doing is to harm the state that not conservative it’s something else.
