I know it's not always right to generalize

16. We have to look at with the underpinnings of Conservatism/Republicanism are.

I am sure you can find Republicans who are half-way decent or who are at least, not complete monsters. The problem is, what do they support? What is the end goal of Republican thought. What do they want to achieve as their stated goals and as what we know of them historically and in today's context.

We know that they have thrown in their support for a person who is completely corrupt and who has shown no loyalty to the actual country of the United States while putting out an image of America that is anathema to its stated values.

Republicans seem to thrive in authority, and conformity. They talk about freedom but they prefer order and would likely choose order rather than freedom so long as the order follows their ideals. They like to say that liberals are "imposing" or more likely "shoving our beliefs down their throats". The funny thing is that liberals tend to advocate for the expression of certain ideas and and conservative for others. Each side wants to have their ideas respected, however liberal ideas tend to be more inclusive while conservative ideas more exclusive.

A liberal would likely say that you can be Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, etc... just don't try to impose particular practices on me or on society. A conservative would complain that having to respect the different aspects of those other religions was a threat to their freedom to express themselves.

That is a fundamental difference. Now, a particular Republican may be more or less open to the idea of tolerance but they support a platform that promotes the dominance of one religious view over all others.

There are likely a lot of Republicans who are decent people, but their ideology leads to what we have right now with Trump.
