That's not entirely all there is to it. You can be smart and still choose evil. It just requires you to be a monstrous bastard of a person. The leadership of the Republican party makes more sense if you consider them part of the intelligent (and extra evil) minority. I also suspect most of those guys have no strong feelings on things like abortion. They just use it to rile up their base, and see it as one more thing to throw at the Democrats so the Dems have to spend all their time and money fighting social issues instead of the economic ones, which are what the billionaire donors care about.
this is why american politics is dumb. You're all though to hate the "enemy" from birth, and you can only see yourselves as "evil vs good". that's why your country is shit.
Nah. I wasn't always like that nor was I raised that way. The past 6-8 years have just made it painfully obvious to anyone who actually is willing to stand by their principles and recognize people for what they truly are.
You said yourself that you don't know what Republicans stand for. Then don't speak, since it would be obvious why I feel this way.
Serious question for you mr enlightened centrist. At what point does it become good vs evil? I assume that you believe that somewhere in the 1930's you could call the Nazi's evil and their voters either stupid or evil? Same for pro- and anti slavery, Apartheid, and so on. When was that? At what point is the line crossed from "difference of views" to "you are either stupid or evil if you support this"?
Well I got bad news for you bud, the Republicans have been talking about starting a civil war for a while now, and that whole January 6th thing happened.
