Republican politicians, on the other hand, are a little smarter than their voters and are far more evil than most people realize.

those people have been thoroughly brainwashed and indoctrinated by Republicans. Short of major, in-patient deprogramming, they are gone.

I can't believe the Reich Wing will just give in to the evil remnants of the Soviet Union. That would be KGB Putin. I always figured I would see T62s over my TOW sight and not have to fight the Russians in the ballot box. Republicans are despicable traitors.

Democrats = Socialists = Communists

They really don't know the difference or think the differences are subtle and not dramatic (which they are). I could go on, but wont.

I've gone into great detail with GOP family on the differences and flat out told them, I'm a Socialist and Democrats are a bit too conservative for me. It blows their mind when I "facilitate" to them the differences. Some even come around to the idea that Socialism may be a good idea, others still have qualms, but at least decide not to reject Democratic ideas so quickly. But there is always one relative who is dumb as a box of rocks, she still thinks the equation above is correct.

Doesn't matter, I've decided to blow her off and ignore her. Her and her husband have been pretty good at engineering their own problems. Had to fight her over an inheritance issue (long story short, she wanted more...and she is getting more, legally, but it still wasn't enough for her, she wanted 50% instead of 37%...were only getting 25%). Couldn't figure out though, why she was fighting for every penny, wasn't like it was a whole lot of money, just dismissed it as her being a typical greedy brat.

Then I found out later, she's broke. And once this relative passes, that's the only inheritance she'll get to fund her....as one person I know puts it, "champagne tastes on a beer budget". Apparently her and her husband managed to get themselves removed from the good graces of her very wealthy in-laws. Have to laugh, because they are also Republican.

Unless it's all Russian Twitter Trolls, some of the hashtags get full of ridiculous Democrat bashing, even accusing Dems as being the party of hate, which is hilarious/ironic/sad to the max.

This "FAKE NEWS" slant/slander of Trump's is working though on their tiny brains, and that's a problem too.

The Browns could field the best time in league history and the Steelers could get caught cheating in every game and have half the team sent to prison for beating children; Steeler fans would still hate the Browns and vice versa. That's how Fox News viewers see politics.
