Fear and hatred, the theme of the gop. Be afraid of the democrats, they are everything bad and out to destroy OUR america. Biden will not only take your guns but at the same time implant every republican with a microchip against their will, raise their taxes, denounce god and open the borders to anyone. The beloved capitalistic system that is so out of control once again the country is in a crisis and while most suffer, the few get wealthier. That will be destroyed, no more of the bottom eighty percent supporting the top twenty and who wants that?

We have gone so far backwards under republicans it's time to start progressing in america. Clean energy, good union jobs, healthcare for everyone a clean environment, good air to breathe. What is wrong with any of those things? Why do republicans fight them tooth and nail when in reality most people would benefit?

What does fear and hatred gain you? Owning the libs?

If you’re someone who isn’t a millionaire and you vote Republican.

You’re brainwashed and utterly stupid.

It’s harsh, it sounds unfair, but it’s true.

That does not mean, inversely you have to support Democrats, the binary thinking of the American system is one of the primary reasons you’re in the predicament you are and why the nation is degrading at light speed.

But Republicans DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU.

Yes you, most people, they transparently stand for the ultra wealthy and massive corporations and that’s it.

You’re an afterthought and they are willing to plunder your social security, healthcare, childrens education, public services and every conceivable general benefit to society they can, to put more at the altar of greed and excess.

Look at the situation right now, they made trillions and trillions available to their own wealthy benefactors, corporations, family businesses and connected individuals without a second thought and no oversight.

But for those who may get booted onto the street and lose everything.

**** YOU, We’ll see you in September you ****ing idiots.

There you go. The most people will benefit. Liberals and Democrats like to tell people how they should think. Biden's you ain't black enough comes to mind. My brother is a card carrying liberal and is a master at stating what one believes. It's like he's telepathic or something.

Benefit is a subjective term

Fear, hatred and false promises worked the first time and though America and most of the world are sick and tired of it, fear, hatred and false promises still work for Trump's dwindling base. At the same time, Trump, his family of grifters and semi-morons, his "acting" government of lobbyists, billionaires, racists, and dead-enders are cluster****ing governance like "nobody has ever seen before". Stupidy and ineptitude cannot hide forever.

Without actual experienced and wise leadership America has much to fear as COVID-19 runs rampant across the country. PPE and testing continue to be a concern, the economy is sputtering and farting, national disunity, foreign relations in the crapper, and now heading into hurricane season it might easily be beyond Washington's ability as the White House and the Hill don't seem to give a fat rat's ass. That's plenty to fear.

I see only two reasons to vote republican. You are either wealthy and want to protect as much of 'your money' as you can legally or illegally or you are a flat out racist. I presume one could also be wealthy and racist. Other than that, I see no reason to vote R. Who in their right mind can look at america under the republicans and think the country is doing just fine? They've all but told us they are out to destroy social security and medicare and who will that help, well the wealthy of course.

And the base sucks it all in and can't wait to give them another four or six years. Crazy. Against unions and decent living wages. Against healthcare for everyone. Killing the postal service. Chipping away at social security and medicare. No plan on a national level to deal with covid after months and months. The economy shot because of the lousy handling of the health crisis. The debt going up, up, up, up this town's been shattered, we're in tatters.

What will it take for some of the R's to realize they are killing themselves by supporting these vampires?

Either/or fallacy and really unfair. And I think people are getting really tired of being branded as racists when they aren't because they disagree with progressive opinions.

To deny there is a crap load of racism in the republican party is to deny reality. You don't see white supremacist groups supporting democrats.

Bottom line is this, they feel that kneecapping the libs is ONLY a stopgap measure, but crucial. BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. Them libs will win in the end, but till then, we will do ANY illegitimate thing to further our agenda, knowing that it is a lost cause. We are ruining the functioning of gov, to ward off, taking care of THOSE LIVES TOO. The fact is, a large portion of our population is ignorant racist. And they dont like getting called on it. So they are creating a society, where their foul Tourette's syndrome outbursts are accommodated.

It's much easier to do that than to actually talk about issues and try to understand differences.

Republicans are conservative of this day that yesteryear were the racist Democrats of the South when the Reps were the Lincoln liberals of the anti-slavery North. Their ideology is that money flows downward from the top and govt should so accommodate every which way, most effectively through tax plan such as Trump giving away more money in tax cuts to the rich and large corps than any time in history since immediately preceding the Great Depression. The Reps want to privatize everything they possibly can that will only add the cost of profit to such as govt run SS and Medicare to pilfer what lint is left in the avg American pocket. The Dems standby, observe, neuralize, and scatter ineffectual comment while the goiter-head, idiot-breaths whom have less continue to vote against their own best interest, falling for the flim-flam man Trump and the Trumplicans in Congress.

Republicans dont talk about issues, they dont understand differences, they DICTATE. We now have a dictator, that says, I dont have to negotiate, once I issue an edict. I get what I want. And the right wing cheers.

Fear and Hatred

We really can't continue on at each others throats and survive as a Nation, not the Nation that the whole World has looked to and depended on for leadership and guidance; but no longer does.

International Oligarchs want to change OUR government, OUR very way of life. Many are saying good; but it's not good. Our Constitution has been an affront to the priviliged since the moment it was first published. That un-titled rabble had the AUDACITY to declare ALL men are created equal and be goverened BY the people, OF the people and FOR the people it has burned hatred in their privlieged souls and is a threat to their very existance. From inception our nation has been under attack by the aristocracy/oligarch's, but never before like now.

Common folk out number them thousands to 1 so their only hope of keeping power is to divide us and keep us bickering between each other while they quietly go about the work of enslaving US, making us wage slaves if not outright slaves. The constructs of Left and Right are their tool to keep us divided but in reality, to them, there is only one distinction them and everyone else.

If we don't quit sqabaling and band togther, stand up for our rights and demand fair and honest governement they WILL enslave us. Government FOR, OF and BY THE PEOPLE will vanish from the face of the earth never to be seen again. :(

I think republicans block much more than the dems neuralize. That should be obvious with mitch's famous let's make him a one term president comment. The gop has turned into a bunch of brain dead knuckle dragging brown shirts determined to protect trump at any and all costs.

Let's explore that a little...

Is it a fallacy? It's actually a hypothesis: There are really only two elements of the Republican party remaining - those that support accumulation of wealth by the wealthy, and those that are flat out racist. Now, if you want to assert this is "unfair", one must ask, "In what way?" In order to refute the hypothesis, one must present evidence. Where is that evidence? As with a math problem: show your work.

By the way, here's a refutation of your "refutation": The Party of Trump with Stuart Stevens (WITH pod).
