In reply to the discussion: The Guardian has a column that puts Repub Leadership right in their place; EVIL nihilistic monsters: [View all]NuttyFluffers
(6,811 posts)21. i'm a registered republican. the republican slate is made of evil, nihilistic monsters.
there is no way around that. it is truth.
now, though i am registered republican, i DO NOT vote for evil, nihilistic monsters. therefore i DO NOT vote republican. one can be in a party and not support its current leadership.
to vote republican is to either a) willfully be an evil, nihilistic monster, or b) thoughtlessly empower evil, nihilistic monsters.
this truth is inescapable.
however, pride blinds. at some point one can no longer hide behind the defense of being merely thoughtless. a decision on case by case basis at the point of revelation, but once revealed it speaks to the character of the person.
eventually delusion falls to revelation. then judgment comes. thus self-delusion is no escape.

I discuss politics in great depth with my mother, and I have done so for decades.

You give me the impression that you find it inconceivable that such people exist. They exist.

On anonymous discussion boards, you can be whoever and whatever you choose that day.

It's curious that you being a lifetime registered Republican hasn't given the admins heartburn.

You got me. I swallowed the hook. I should have remained skeptical, but you convinced me.
