You did specify "most," and I agree with that. But, the majority of them, deep down, are really just pussies.

They turn on each other, knowing how they like to blame others for things that don't go their way. You know in time Trump is going to blame his own enablers, claiming they didn't do enough for him and allowed the election to be stolen.

If i had complained about an OP that quoted racists using the full-blown n-word with an ambiguous, at best, suggestion that it was a quote, and no explanation of why it was necessary or even helpful to recite that language here?

As far as I am concerned, whether the language originated from the poster - or was merely a context-less quote, the impact is the same - and doesn't belong here.

To your point, I recently posted a verbatim unexpurgated excerpt of Lee Atwater’s 1981 explicitly racist Southern Strategy speech and related it to contemporary Republican policy and tactics. It’s a cruel world out there.

I don’t think examining racism is to tolerate it. Similarly, my reporting that Republicans are employing the same intellectualist slurs amongst each other that they use on us is not meant to further stigmatize the disabled, but to clinically demonstrate the depth of a schism which could win the United States Senate for the Democratic Party.

Having said all that Ms. Toad, I understand words can hurt and I am sorry that I caused you pain.

Had it been clearer what you were doing, and why - for example by using quotation marks and/or explaining why it was necessary to quote hurtful language - as opposed to picking quotes that expressed the same sentiment without the hurtful language - I wouldn't have made my initial comment.

They were talking about openly fighting for this country before the election if it looked like we Dems were going to try and steal it.

So far, not much of anything. Most of the people who voted for Trump have moved on leaving a small minority who won't give up.

The kGOP can't tell Red Don to pound sand for being an asshole, the average kGOP voter knew he was one already and that didn't dissuade them.

This is a cult and cult leaders don't go away when they're out of government power.
