Related: About this forumStop Treating Republicans Nice = Strategy
When I come across Republicans I have to deal with, I try to ask them questions they can't answer. For instance: "Can you name one thing Bush did a better job of than President Obama". They usually babble something stupid.
When I run into Republicans I will never see again, I try to insult them directly.
I think ALL REPUBLICANS are traitors, and are damaging my country to impress people who want "us" to fail. They want America to fail because of some stupid ideology where government is the problem, and having billionaires run it for their own benefit should never be discussed, because they pay for their campaigns.
Young, old, fat, skinny, man, woman, or other type of Republican Imbecile.
Insult them.
They deserve far worse.

Racism
Bigotry
Greed
Intentional DENIAL of climate change
I could go on, whether or not you like the words the OP chose to describe them or not, what I said is true.
There are Republicans who are not racists or bigots or greedy.
There are Democrats who are not tolerant or generous-----remember Orville Faubus and George Wallace?
I've known both types.
People are people--never perfect.

(1,400 posts)If you call yourself a Republicans these days, you approve of all the evil the party has come to represent.
Unless you live in a cave, to be a Republican you have to approve of what the majority of Republican do.
Doing evil.
Not in a religious sense, evil is evil, bad is bad.
Cutting food stamps for children for instance.
One of my "trick" questions is: "Can you name one thing the Republican Party truly stands for that is not evil".
Boy, they don't ever really answer that one.

(626 posts)accept the bigotry and racism even though they dont personally engage in it.

(4 posts)But the problem is they are part of the problem, the party allows the racism and more to be ingrained because winning elections is more important than doing the right thing. So in effect they are enablers.
Example of how bad it is in a few right wing states, close to 50% of people who identified themselves as conservatives responded to a poll that interracial marriage should be a criminal offense. Again close to 50% of right wingers not only say its wrong but want to put you in jail. How many more just thought it was wrong was not a part of the poll.
A new poll gauging Mississippi Republicans' preferences going into the 2012 election ended up revealing something more startling: 46 percent of GOP voters in the state think interracial marriage should be illegal.
Results were announced Thursday by Public Policy Polling, a polling firm based in North Carolina. The company asked 400 Republican primary voters about their preferences for candidates for state and national offices, as well as their views on interracial marriage.
A whopping 46 percent of likely GOP primary voters said they think interracial marriage should be illegal, while only 40 percent said they think it should be allowed. Another 14 percent said they were unsure.
