[quote=Anonymous]I don't think they necessarily are resistant to facts as they don't care. It's all about their "team" winning. Some democrats may be afflicted with this too but not anywhere near the same degree. Democrats, for all their disagreements and faults, do believe and shred on a core set of principles. And if a charismatic populist came doing who betrayed all those principles (including by acting like a bigoted, misogynistic sociopath) but promised to "win" the presidency for the party, the vast majority of democrats won't go along with that. And that is why republicans are shrinking as a party but democrats are growing. Trump is not for small government, rational foreign policy, promoting trade, strengthening business, controlling entitlements, etc etc. all the things that moderate republicans have been arguing for decades as what the party is about (and declaring that democrats were the ones unfairly vilifying them as racists and bigots). Well, we see what's left standing and the monster those so called "moderate" republican leaders are supporting. I'm not gloating - I grew up a democrat but did not mind most republican leaders. Loved Alex P Keaton too. It makes me sad to see what the Reoublican party has become. [/quote]
