6. That is a fundamentalist view of what America should become, and fundamentalists are a danger

to a civil society.

They wreak havoc on those they deem "other", and they ensure unbelievable damage occurs to those others and even to themselves as the "others" rightfully and justly fight back.

Fundamentalists simply can not tolerate living in a multicultural society. They will always seek to destroy the "other".

Exposing their agenda and the ramifications their agenda would have on many, many Americans remains one of the most important things we can do.

Far right wing assholes continue to be selected through the Republican primary process, and we simply can NOT afford to have Republicans in charge of the WH, judiciary, and Congress.

Democrats are horrible (bloody awful). Republicans are worse. But I do still see value in voting for the lesser evil while screaming bloody murder and attempting to hold their feet to the fire when they betray (and they WILL betray) Democratic Party values. "Harm reduction" is what continues to guide my political voting decisions. I realize harm is being done by the Democrats. Sometimes a lot of harm. But, Republicans would usher in even more. We can not afford for their openly stated agenda to be validated at the ballot box because they WILL implement it.

No fascist theocracy for me please!
