(39,017 posts)52. They supported representative government only so long as rich (mostly) white men called the shots.
Once uppity women, minorities, & gays started demanding equality & equity in the system, well, we can't have that! We have a big segment of the population that are such raging hypocrites you can't reason with them. Breaking the rules is A-OK when their side is doing it, but the whining if our side even steps on the line. And defending this vile, vulgar man & his hateful & cruel administration, for any reason, has forever changed my opinion of all of the republicans I know, some of whom I used to respect. It's a character flaw that I just can't overlook anymore.
