[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can I reconcile their kindness to me one on one with the Republican policies and actions that are taking away people's healthcare, making future generations pay for tax cuts for today's super rich, tainting our supreme court with partisan operatives with a history of sex assault allegations and undermining our democracy with Trump's swampy cabinet and autocratic attitude about attacking the press and obstructing justice?

My post is sincere. I think the modern GOP is basically evil so I am having a hard time understanding how someone can still be a Republican if they are a decent person. [/quote]

Let me make a sincere reply.

Your friend is highly likely to be brainwashed by conservative media.  They probably [i]do not know[/i] about the healthcare, tax cuts for the super rich, and undermining of democracy.  And if they DO know about those things, they falsely think Democrats have done worse.

They probably listen to Fox, or rightwing radio, or read Breitbart (90% Mercer funded) or the Daily Caller (85% Koch funded).

There's a movie about this, called I think the "Brainwashing of my Dad".  To understand your friend, watch that.[/quote]

Oh, wow.  Is this what you think about people who don't blindly agree with your liberal policies?  That they're "brainwashed"?  I'm an independent, and the responses I've seen from liberals on this site have made me 99% certain I will never vote for a Democrat again.  You actually think that those who disagree with you are brainwashed.  Just when I thought I'd heard everything.   :shock: [/quote]
