(2,878 posts)I evaluate most people based on how much I know about them. So do you really believe that one who has stated the following conforms to your statement?
"But the danger is not equal-I've tried to be clear that I don't think it is. The things I never liked about Republicans, I still don't like: they're too religious; they're fiscal hypocrites who hate when America spends money it doesn't have, except when they're in office, and then it's al ways perfectly OK; they're largely in denial about racism; and they're in sufficiently alarmed about the environment. We are losing an estimated 150 species a day, and I don't think they care.
And then they got worse. They added to that shitty mixtape the bracing of a sociopath, Donald Trump, and being largely accepting of the idea that a right-wing coup is a legitimate response to losing a presidential election. They seem to have adopted that unholy paradox from the Vietnam War: they had to "destroy the village to save it." They think what the Left is doing is so fundamentally wrong for the country that they are willing to jettison the essence of the country-democracy-to save it. And you just can't have one party dominated by a policy of "Elections only count when we win them, because the other side is nuts."
Give me a break.
