Everybody else is shooting you down here, But I'll meet you in the middle with an even harder to swallow pill.

There are Republicans who AREN'T BAD people, they are just ignorant. Not stupid, necessarily, but ignorant and uneducated. They might think they're doing good but they are very very wrong.

I worked with a guy that was a hard-core conservative, like just shy or real far-right talking points. Anyway he told me he doesn't watch the news. Not that he only watches fox news, I mean he doesn't watch any news at all. He gets his information from Facebook and tiktok

If you vote republican, you're not a good person, and never have been since the party flip-flop. They've always been the party trying to suppress the rights of anyone who isn't a rich white male.

And now they're literally traitors trying to overthrow our government.

I never would in a million years

You don’t have to be the person who overthrows the government.

Your vote is for people who incite the overthrowing.

SuckMyWang OP ,

Fuck that I wouldn’t vote for them

Why say you support a political party, then say you wouldn't ever vote for them? Doesn't that make you... Not a republican?

SuckMyWang OP ,

When did I say I support their party?

ignotum ,

In the earlier comments someone said supporting a party that would overthrow the government is bad, and you said

I never would in a million years

Which sounded like a "yeah but i wouldn't overthrow the government", leading to me assuming you considered yourself a republican

If you support violent extremists that try to install a dictatorship you're not a good person.

SuckMyWang OP ,

I do not support them no. If a kid steals a cookie is he a bad person or is he not thinking things through?

HikingVet ,

Republicans aren't children stealing cookies.

SuckMyWang OP ,

They often have the same cognitive ability for critical thinking. Although after this post I’m not so sure of either side

Sentrovasi ,

Wait, if you're a Republican and you're admitting that Republican politicians don't have critical thinking ability, then why are you still voting for having them run a country and affecting the livelihoods of millions (billions) of people?

If the only Republican policies you're supporting are benign ones (as a non-American, I don't know which those are), are they worth all the ones that oppress and take away the rights of others?

And if you're a Republican but not a fan or voter of the Republican party as it stands, then maybe you need to reconsider what your definition of a Republican is, because Republicans themselves today are defining themselves in ever-bolder terms.

SuckMyWang OP ,

I’m not a republican. I’m not even American, I’m Mozambican. But I do vote liberal in my country

Then you'd do well to get informed before spouting nonsense.
