They are a totally un-democratic (small "d") lot of bigoted (to various degrees) anti-equal-society sociopaths and psychopaths.<br /><br /><br />Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-72689358684486465032017-01-26T09:40:59.127-05:002017-01-26T09:40:59.127-05:00This is like the Langer story that Trump touts whe...This is like the Langer story that Trump touts where the man looked around "and people who didn't look like they should get to vote, got to vote" Most republicans are smart enough not to say this out loud.<br /><br />You are hearing more of the republican ID like Todd Akins "Legitimate Rape" or the guy the other day who said "the women marching were too ugly to rape" because more and more republicans are just plane dumb asses. Use to be they had smart misogynist bigots but they're getting harder to find with years of FOX giving them a platform.rclzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866339978349617188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-33739726729111514722017-01-26T09:24:26.478-05:002017-01-26T09:24:26.478-05:00Modern "mainstream" GOP policies are, of...Modern "mainstream" GOP policies are, of extreme, highly destructive and enormously costly to the economy, society and the polity. The difference between Trump and the GOP Congress is that, with a few exceptions like Steve King and Gohmert, they are far more adept at Orwellian messaging than Trump who is wildly clumsy and openly insulting. But, yes, they agree on most of the same things.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.com
