Nope, this IS what the republican party is. This is what they've been preaching on Fox News forever. That is what the GOP's "Southern Strategy" was all about. After years of this sort of rhetoric, are we surprised by what we're getting with Trump as the GOP's candidate?
I disagree. There is obviously a big problem within a minority in the Republican base that voted to nominate Trump as their candidate. However, this is not a majority of the Republican party members, nor does this fact take away from the real policy issues at hand.
Yes, there are "low information", even foolish members in the base of the right (obviously since Trump won). But the same thing can be said of the left. It would be unfair to generalize the left as "corrupt, lying, cheating hypocrites" because of the scandals surrounding Hillary. I can also start posting all the crazy nonsense some in the Democrat base have said and continue saying, but it accomplishes nothing, because I know it's not what all Democrats believe or want.
You have to remember that there are big issues involved and that there is a serious internal conflict with those that do not want the policies of the left, which they believe to be harmful to the country, yet don't support the stupid actions of a stupid man called Trump. I myself have decided I can't vote for Trump. Even if Hillary wins, it's something I have to live with, because ethically I can't bring myself to vote for this loser. Having said that, I can understand why some would be reluctant to jump to that conclusion and give their country up to the left again for another 4 years. Everyone has to come to their own conclusion, but we have to stop attacking people and belittling them for their different perspectives.
I wish we would all take a step back, right, left, center or in between, and remember that we are not all one way or another. We in the right are NOT all Trump supporting wing nuts, as can be seen by the huge and growing group of dissenters not supporting the candidate.
We are humans, all of us. We all have the same interests in just wanting to live our lives, and leave a better world for our children to take over once we are gone. I wish we'd all stop screaming at each other, generalizing and painting everyone one way or another. I wish we'd stop attacking the persons, and instead focus on common sense measures that increase our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
P.S. Maybe I should run for President lol
