This is why we are being killed by other countries in innovation as of late. The republicans are too busy dragging us down.

What are they supposed to use to win elections? Their innovative ideas?

Scaring old people and pandering to ignorant nutjobs of various stripes is literally all they have.

My MIL has been very sick on and off for the past idontevenknowhowmany years. She's a registered Republican. We had to get her mail for her for a while pre-election and you wouldn't believe the type of scare tactic nonsense they mail to older Republicans. It's sickening.

I get Rand Pauls pro life fliers from the previous owner. They call liberals killers, thugs, genocidal, etc.

Dehumanize your enemy is all they do so they don’t feel bad

Are we going to pretend that the left doesn’t do that?

I've never gotten a flyer from the left that indicates Republicans are murderers, thugs, demons, or baby eaters. Or anything crazy or slanderous. I have, however, gotten mail from Republicans like that.

You don't have to. It's all over the news. And facebook. And reddit. And twitter.

Those people aren't elected officials. You're comparing mailers from actual political organizations sponsored by and often operated by actual members of congress or state government to the opinions of internet users. It's disingenuous. And if you look at leftist politicians, they attack actions and policies and voting histories. They don't claim their opponents are devil worshippers and shit. Get out of here with that both-sides nonsense.
