I Hate Republicans More Every Day There Is Nothing Wrong With Me

Simply calling Senator Warren Pocahontas should be an impeachable offense. The birther bs. Climate change denial. Trying to take away healthcare from millions.

The list goes on forever.

I hate them with white hot burning hate.

I hate Republicans simply as much as I love America.

Anyone else feel like me?

It tears me up inside that people I was once close to have so totally gone to the dark side, but I can't deny that's exactly what has happened.

In my view Republicans are nothing more then cultists, much like those that followed Jim Jones to Guyana, and drank the Kool-aid!!!

and having people cheer at the racism and name calling, and out right hatred, the bragging, the lies. I don't understand what is wrong with America. I'm still a little shell shocked.

And the media, what the heck? Well, we will see what the Sunday shows say, but he should be called out of every lie, every slur, everything.

I am just disgusted.

was on for over an hour on CNN and MSNBC! I called both stations to complain. Everyone should and if they do it again then boycott. This is like the 2016 election and the MSM and cable news would show an empty stage and podium waiting for him to appear and yell "Lock her up!". He got free publicity and no one would show Hillary speaking about the real issues and not make calling.

This could be 2016 all over again when the stations helped elect him for ratings $$$$$$$$. Call them and complain. Here are their phone numbers.
CNN (404) 827-1500
MSNBC (212) 664-6605

I have avoided them since November 2016.

They say you shouldn't let religion & politics come between you & those you like/love, but today's GOP is so extreme & obscene, I have difficulty understanding how anyone can vote for them. And Trump is a whole other level of obscene.

This jackass is debasing the party, the American people and American democracy - as he says press sucks and dictators are cool.

Not my president.

stoke the hatred on the other side and to continue to keep our nation in a state of gridlock or backslide.

Humanizing people is how you figure out how to talk to them...how you understand them enough to engage with them on a level that is generous about their intentions(if certainly not their actions).

That does NOT mean don't fight. It means fight the right things and the right people.

Of course, when it comes to republican representatives, a rational conversation is utterly pointless...pretending(as democratic leaders too often do) that these are simply good people who can be moved by reason is hogwash because these people have a financial and political imperative to not be moved by reason. They aren't listening. Those and their masters are the people that deserve our ire. Channeling our hatred at the confused and scared masses who hitch themselves to these cynical agendas does us no favors.

Thank you.

I have dear relatives/friends/co-workers who identify as Republican and do NOT support Trump. It's wrong to tar every Republican with the Trump brush.
