5. Good Republicans are a myth

It's the same mistake as believing there were "good germans" who were just following orders. One of the most maddening truths out there that even most liberals refuse to see, is that it is not republican politicians, lobbyists, russians or trump who is the problem. They are the manifestation of their voters. 33 - 47% of this nation is made up of the the absolute worst western civilization has ever produced.
Republican policies are becoming more authoritarian, uglier and murderous in their contempt for all others besides the white hetero christian male because that represents exactly the wants and desires of their voters. The "good republicans" wouldn't have been the nazis in the death camps. They would be the "good germans" who casually looked the other way while it happened.
