and dislike for the "other". Not that I don’t have some of the same thoughts, on occasion, but I try to be less judgmental, at least out loud . I certainly have my lines beyond which I don’t withhold judgment and where I will argue, jump up and down, yell, get in someone’s face, etc. (I quit talking to my grandmother for years because she demanded that I not walk down the street with a black friend when I was about 14. She was an old fashioned southern racist, would never change. I finally gave up the silent treatment and just sniped at her whenever she let her racism out for the rest of her life.)
I’ve lived most of my life surrounded by Republicans. Not all of them are slathering RWNJs, although the GOP has become so extreme that many of the moderates have switched to independent.
My husband became a Republican at a young age because he was, and mostly still is, an old-school fiscal conservative. But he’s also been a social moderate to liberal to civil libertarian. He was always an independent voter, he voted mostly Rep but would vote Dem when he thought they were the better candidate. Over the decades we’ve been together he’s slowly become disgusted with the radicalization of the GOP. He intentionally hasn’t voted for a Republican since 2012, he voted Obama in 2008. He hates Trump, McConnell, et al. He hasn’t been able to clearly articulate why he won’t quit the party, though. 
But as long as his good qualities outweigh his less good, I’m not going to kvetch too much.
This is about the 14 thousandth thread expressing 'concern'. It's pretty much been hashed over.
