Maybe the politicians, I could agree with that, but most Republican voters are not on board with the southern strategy and all of this other stuff.
All the majority know is that they hate Democrats, and that is why they vote the way they do. Human beings are creatures of habit after all.
Besides, even if a group of people are doing bad things en masse, it's ultimately counterproductive to lump the followers in with the leaders. It makes it harder for the followers to break from the leaders that are leading them down the wrong path.
I am anti-republican politics, and I don't get along with Republican voters, but I'm not going to call the guy at the gas station evil because he votes Republican because his dad voted Republican because his dad voted Republican.
They aren't evil, doesn't stop them being ignorant, stupid, wrong, and detrimental to society. Ebola isn't evil, but it'll fuck up your life if you don't kill it first.
Republican voters are cancer, they might not want to kill you, but they will.
fuck. and. you.
It's certainly a not big enough deal for them to leave.
I am.
If they're voting to for and supporting the party that does evil stuff, it really doesn't matter the reason they do it for.
I didn't vote for the Nazis to kill the Jews, I just wanted my taxes lowered :(
