"I just hate socialists! That's why I obsess about and say disgusting things regarding a brown female representative."
You believe that?
See, here's the thing:
I know when someone gets all "I hate <political group>" what they're really doing is trying to paint themselves as the other group. I know they're trying to hide behind politics. They're trying to create cover for themselves and their arguments. They use hate to create that cover. They use hate to pretend they're political.
But their argument is hate-based. That's plain. That's obvious. That should be the starting point for analysis. We don't begin with "well, they're a conservative or Republican". That would be stupid of us and it's what they want. We should begin with "the argument is hate based."
I'll admit, my position is hate based. Hate at how shitty so many republicans are, how selfish, how stupid, how they worship vile POS like Trump, how they only want things for them and their little white bubble, and then shit on the rest of the country, how they continue to support and defend the disgusting greed permeating every bit of our country.
but that is based on their actual behavior, no made up bullshit to give them fake outrage and a scapegoat.
But those are based on their shitty behavior and actions. I guess we will see, if they continue to vote for do nothing, vile republican hate mongerers, then I see no hope for them. But will still fight to make their lives better, as well as all Americans
Meanwhile, even though I'm disgusted at self proclaimed "moral" people and "patriots" that shit on most of the country and do not care to address any problems we have, my position and that of liberals is to support things that help all Americans, even them. Everything liberals fight for are things that would probably benefit them the most. Which is even more maddening, the rural folks are probably suffering just as bad as many people, yet they fall for the same garbage scapegoats blaming liberals, people of color, and immigrants. The republicans don't even hide it anymore, they openly show disdain, and yet, they still believe it.
And people whine about calling them terrorists, that's exactly what they are. Killing people based on their idiocy, extending pandemic, burning out hospital workers, and they have gone into Taliban territory, abortion ban, anti gay legislation, filling school boards to teach bullshit to kids, banning books, making it harder to vote, etc
