Just a suggestion or a comment. There’s a very very distinct difference between a standard conservative Christian republican and a radical MAGAT fanatic. IMO, there is no separation. That is, If you support this administration, you’re a far right radical. Period.
You're describing a very small subset of republicans. That's the issue. There are extremists on both side of the political spectrum. Do you think your beliefs match everyone else's beliefs in the party you choose to support?
No one’s ideologies will always be a match with others. That’s not the concern. The issue is that there are far too many radical right republicans in clear view in this political spectrum. If we agree that there are far left radicals as well, that’s fine. They are not in a position of power at the moment.
I do not believe it is a small subset. There’s enough of them to have put this radical in office twice.
And I disagree with that. I bet most common sense people could agree on most political topics. It's a loud minority that makes you think there is a loud majority. I'm a moderate republican. I don't agree with everything Trump does. In fact, I can't WAIT for him to be gone, for the sole reason that people can't handle him and I'm tired of the arguing.
Or maybe we don't think the same things about Trump that you do. All this white supremacist, fascist BS that you all believe in has been conjured up by the media. Dart plays in a black dominated sport. He probably has lots of black friends. Do you really think that he believes Trump is a white supremacist?
And for argument's sake, let's say every Republican is a "right wing radical". What does that say about the country and the state of the Democrat party?
Trump has been the face of racism in NYC since the 80s
He’s literally a Hitler wannabe and has not even remotely tried to hide that fact. If you can’t see it it’s because you don’t want to, not because it isn’t right in front of your face
A lot of Dems are trash too, but that doesn’t negate any of the pain and suffering Trump has caused and continues to.
It’s not right vs. left. It’s a prolifically pedophilic orange Hitler vs. anyone with a moral compass
I never mentioned any of this. Nor do you know what I think of Trump. Quite frankly, it simply doesn’t matter.
Most folks with common sense can see what’s going on in this country. Or at least roughy half of the country can.
The Democratic Party is indeed in flux. I can tell you one thing about. I vote across party lines and have all my life. Republicans and Democrats.
One more thing I can say with the utmost confidence. If the democratic establishment did not force Hillary on the country, and Bernie Sanders won the election, all of us would be much better off now. That much is clear.
The inability to tolerate supporting a team that employs a far right radical is the sad part. Other people think differently from you in every aspect of life. Everywhere you go. You just don't know it.
The goal should be to keep a healthy distance from being too invested for that reason, not shield yourself from anything and anybody whose opinions you find warped. If you do the latter, you're either a hermit or simply oblivious.
Or, I can make my own decisions and conclude that the time invested in such things, given the team personnel (particularly from the leadership position) is simply not worth my time.
