  It’s easy to call them names and make them into a joke.
  But the US has a really big problem on its hands.
  If you’re not really fricking scared, then you need to read more history.
context: These are ugly people, inside and out. Probably calls himself a Christian too. >
  
  And half the country votes for them every time. >
  
  That should tell you something about half the country, then. >
  
  About half of the country that votes is made up of rotten people who willfully support and vote for even worse people.
  A large part of the rest of the country that isn't rotten (including voters and non-voters) still doesn't grasp that and wants to believe it isn't that bad and many of these people have been "tricked" and don't just know what they're doing. >
  
  Most republican voters I know are actively ignorant. They don't know things, don't listen to politics, and don't watch debates and they don't want to. They don't even watch Fox or OANN, they simply don't engage with any news at all, other than local evening stuff and occasionally memes. 
  They vote R. That's all. Nothing more to it. They don't know what platforms they are supporting (they think R means common sense policy, so whatever they like R must support as well) They are unaware of who is on the ballot, they don't know they are terrible. They assume D means radical liberal, and R is reasonable. There is no evidence backing their belief, it's just habit and the feeling of the habit. Any contradicting information is disregarded. It's like being actively passive. >
  
  You hit the nail on the head! I feel the same way! >
  
  Oh the defense contractor who sold tear gas to police to use against their own community is voicing violence against the elderly? Color me shocked. >
  
  He may be a brand new congressman but he has much experience being an asshole. Which probably makes him very qualified for his new job. >
  
  Well qualified to be a republican. >
  
  They're trying to spin it like McCarthy beat Pelosi in the speaker vote rather than McCarthy barely being elected on his sixteenth* try by his own fucking party
  *ETA 15th, whatever we all know the repubs are going to attempt a recall within 3mo >
  
  He beat a person who wasn't vying for the position.. After 14 attempts. Real winner. >
  
  And retired. >
  
  Soldier boy should be very careful what he says. >
  
  Expect nothing less from a trumphumping POS Repugnican. There is no bottom. >
  
  I thought respecting your elders was a family value? Oh, now I remember. They actually don't care about families, just the unborn. >
  
  That pro-life crap is just marketing to get votes from gullible people. If they really "cared", the fetal, infant, and gestational mortality rates wouldn't be the highest in the world and rising. They cut prenatal care for pro-life agendas, 1/5 deaths were actually preventable. Good governments fix that first, then take on the rest. There would be a plan. There was nothing. >
  
  Yup! Have you ever heard anyone raise concern about this? No one does. In Kerala, they pretty much eliminated abortion through education. Laws weren't working. Kerala is not the only study, there are thousands more. So, there you go - education is proven time and time again to be more effective than laws. >
  
  This specimen will go far in the party. Republican voters like assholes, and they adore huge assholes. >
  
  Classless glorification of violence. >
