Great story that cuts right through the cult republican lines these rather uneducated folks like to use. I get tired of their one liners from Fox News and their what-about-isms. Here is my take. If these people live their lives based on these comic book phrases then they are not even scratching the surface of any issue and they are as far away from real life experience as you can get. My dad is Republican, but old school. I grew up debating issues with him. There were times I lost the debate but it was a debate not a shouting match and there was no name calling. It breaks my heart that adults act this way in this Trump Cult because before honestly I wasn't aware that so many people existed that were so.. intellectually and emotionally challenged. I would not let them watch my cats. Silver lining.. now I know.. so in a way I hope they keep shouting to the world exactly who they are. Thank you sir for your service.
