What was the Specific Event that Made You Realise that Republicans Are Evil?

[Manly_Scream]

70. I'm posting from Virginia.

I've lived here for 5 years and was born & raised in New Jersey.

I'm not going back to Jersey. For reasons that are not pertinent to politics.

I've never traveled outside of the U.S.

Here's the thing, although you're correct that I should be focusing most of my ire on the politiceans and not so much the voters, I don't think we need to let the voters off of the hook, and it's a mistake that Democrats make often (IMO)

Not every Republican is an "alt-right' neckbeard (the very fact that they've been allowed legitimize their evil with such a bullshit wannabe "counter-culture" term is troubling) but the fact that so many supposed devout Christians praise a man who so obviously not Christian simply because he attacks groups that they HATE shows you something's wrong here.

I've known 3 Democrat-haters in my life (my mother, a former supervisor of mine, and a 62-year-old friend.)

My mother didn't vote for Trump because in the end she pulled her head out of her ass, and realised that he was calling white nationalists to arms (even though I was telling her this for over a year) but she's always identified as Republican and believed in Raygunomix, and once told me "Hilary and Obama do not want me to be a millionaire! I should pay no taxes!" At the time she was recieving 200K.

She's also a narcissist with self-hating tendencies (we're "black-ish&quot

My ex-supervisor was this 50-something white guy who claimed to have some Native ancestry, had a disabled wife with MS who had 3 strokes and an autistic daughter, so suffice to say he recieved government assistance.

Yet he shat on Democrats and Obama constantly, and also immigrants and black men (though he had a thing for black women). He was ultimately fired for numerous reasons, one of them was using racial slurs toward our clients' customers.

As for my 62-year-old pal. She once told me Michelle Obama is trans and their kids were adopted. When I asked her where she got that from she said "She didn't know."

What I've noticed about VA as opposed to NJ, is that there SO MUCH generational teen pregnancy along with poverty that I did not see in NJ.

I'm talking not just 14-year-olds with babies, but 35-year-old grandmas, and 50-year-old great-grandmas.

A lot of downtrodden, despondent people who overcompensate with religion and the promise of a better afterlife instead of focusing on trying to improve their life, and focusing on "wetbacks and niggers" who have it worse, as they apparently "Should" therefore don't deserve anything.

While I don't find these people evil, I can't have relationships with them (my 62-year-old pal hates Republicans too).

Also, there are people in this country who want me dead, based on my DNA. It's not all, but it's too many.
