I’m so disappointed in the folks making nasty comments here. We don’t agree with what the R politicians are advocating for and we are going to defeat in the elections.
After all that is over they are still Americans just like us. They have families and love their country. We need to take a step back and reunite on common ground.
Honestly, I quibble with this. I don’t think they do. I’m not going to dehumanize them, but they do want to uninstall democracy and install something on the theocracy-oligarchy-fascism spectrum of bad government. You and I have not left the common ground that we all agreed on; they have. I’m not helping move the Overton Window any further.
I'm 10:17 and I agree with you, although they THINK they love this country. But they clearly don't understand how it is supposed to work. They have been so conditioned to fear the boogeymen the GOP keep screaming about, they have come to believe that the authoritarian way will save them. This kind of thing just keeps happening over and over and over in human history.
PP, I probably could be your neighbor. I’ve been educated at a top all women’s college and attended a top 20 law school. I don’t own a gun and have no desire to do so. I live in a liberal suburb of DC and have raised successful children who attend/attended colleges that most DCUM posters dream for their kids and are who are young enough to still vote democrat, though growing disillusioned with them. For the first 20 years of my adult life I was a single issue pro choice voter. After that period ended I still voted D for another period of time, including for Hillary in the primary. I’m now pretty much a Republican though I wouldn’t call myself MAGA but you probably would since I’ll be voting for Trump. Since I generally don’t talk politics and am pretty easygoing, if you and I met over coffee you’d probably think I was a good person and might even be friends. The majority of my friends, afterall, are Democrats. And yes, they know I’m voting for Trump. I’ve not been conditioned to fear a boogeyman and I clearly understand how this country is supposed to work. The fact that people like you continue to demonize and insult people like me is just really sad.
The fact that you would vote from Trump is sad. I don't care where you were educated. I don't care how many kids you raised. I know other people I would consider intelligent who are Trumpers. Being booksmart doesn't mean you can't be nuts or tricked. If you think Trump and the people he surrounds himself with are fit to govern this country and will do better by you than the Dems, something in you is broken. Either you are gullible/deluded or you are evil (i.e, you know what he is and what he will do and you don't care because you think it will benefit you, everyone else be damned). If I do know you and found out you were voting for him, I'd lose all respect for you. You wouldn't care, because that is how Trumpers roll. They enjoy pissing people off and they really don't care who they bring down with them.

Is this a real photo? Can someone provide a link?
You asked if it’s real, which means on some level you (and I’m not assuming you’re a Republican, for the record) know that this behavior is bat crap insane. You asked because you had a catch in your brain thinking, “no, they can’t be that far gone, surely. This must be photoshopped.” Please expand on that, if you would.

In many-many countries, including in European countries, it is mandatory to carry a government-issued ID card at all times. This has never been an issue for the public. It is also common sense.
I grew up this way as an expat (in Europe). Card was checked all the time. You also handed over your passport to check into hotels. As in, literally gave over your passport .
