..."predictable." Snide.

I am not engaging in "Otherism" across the board. I lay the majority of the blame for the cold civil war at the feet of a few greedy rich guys & their corrupt followers, a few Christians in Name Only, a few media moguls, and a few rightwing agitators (i think we know who they are). I think it's OK to call these people evil masterminds. EVIL.

The average middle class & poor folks who have been brainwashed and scared and robbed --and still call themselves "Republicans" -- they are not the Other. They are victims.

So what would you suggest. OTHER than chilling, being silent? How did I misunderstand you? You are telling people not to use the word "evil" in connection with Rethuglicon. That seems like avoiding the truth.
