(96,962 posts)actually mean harm to republicans when they start making laws to erase republicans from America.
When they pass laws that get republicans killed. Deported. Detained. Arrested.
When they take health care and earned compensation away from republicans.
When they starve republicans.
When they chant and cheer at rallies for the eradication of republicans.
That's hate. That's what republican voters do.
There is no compromise with that.
People speaking out of anger and hurt is one thing.
Actually embracing, supporting, voting for and implementing hate is another.
Their anger at Musk and DOGE can be harnessed but that doesn't mean compromising. That doesn't mean pretending they didn't support what's happening, because they did. They're just upset they got caught up in the same net they voted for to catch others. Use their anger, but never once pretend their beliefs aren't harmful to America, harmful to everyone else. Just because republican voters have a valid right to be angry now, doesn't mean their political views/beliefs are valid.
Trump is just as guilty as Musk - more so as he put Musk into place. The Heritage Foundation/Conservatives are as well. What's happening now has been in the works for decades. The GOP has been wanting this for a long time. They have never been shy about it.
