True.
Also true, the Trump GOP is not the GOP of "conservatives."
So they have to make a choice. Many in the House and a couple in the Senate chose to retire rather than embrace Trumpism.
What is left today is Trumpism, plain and simple.
If you are with the GOP now (not 2016) then you embrace Trumpism full on.

So bizarre! Judging someone based on their choice to use their political influence to make other people's lives worse!
What's next? Will we start judging people based on their actions? On the things they say? On the crimes they commit? Is nothing sacred anymore?!
The problem with your characterization is that it's wrong.
Whatever you may think about Republicans or Democrats, their end goal is actually very similar: maximize the happiness of all humans. The disagreement isn't on the goal, but how to get there. Republicans mostly see this and this is why the general feeling of Republicans towards Democrats is that the later is misinformed. Democrats somehow think that Republicans have different end goals, that instead of maximizing the happiness of all humans, Republicans are for oppression and suffering - and in this light it's easy to agree then that people working towards such goals are indeed evil.
You can look at a Republican tax plan that sends all its benefits to the rich and say this?
Or look at a Republican lawsuit to take health care away from people with pre-existing conditions and say this?
Sorry, the true goal of the Republican party is "f you, I've got mine"
No matter how many times people like you want to say otherwise, when the actual GOP legislation is written it always is about making sure that the people on top stay on top and the people on the bottom stay on the bottom
Anonymous wrote:OP, republicans are not bad or evil people. They view things from a different perspective disagree with you on many things but that does not make them evil. Your characterization of Republican positions, such as "taking away people's healthcare", is grossly inaccurate and therefore is the cause of your mental state of incredulity. Republicans don't want to take away people's healthcare, they just want people to choose and pay for their own healthcare. But if you choose to continue to believe that Republicans indeed want to take away people's healthcare, well, living in ignorance is your choice.

Does that include tithing? Church offerings should not count; the giver gets the vast majority of that back in church programming, facilities, etc.

If the racists think Trump and the GOP support racists...
If the sexists think Trump and the GOP supports sexists...
If the anti-semites think Trump and the GOP supports anti-Semites...

I’ll assume fir the sale of argument you are a troll because o can’t believe anyone can be this dense. Your sweeping and incorrect characterization of Republicans trying to make other peoole’s lives worse is what’s tripping you up.
