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.
OP, I'm sorry. The GOP has been sliding down the road to authoritarianism.
The key thing to do is to get them off Fox and whatever other lying rightwing media they listen to. Propaganda is real, and propaganda works. Don't let them listen to the product of Rupert Murdoch, or they're lost to truth.

Let me make a sincere reply.
Your friend is highly likely to be brainwashed by conservative media. They probably do not know 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.
We just learned abut the tax cuts for super rich - CEO of Patagonia donated it to the climate research, isn't it great? Michelle Obama just made a HUGE profit and will be donating her tax cuts to her favorite charity (I personally hope it will be PP). I love when people I have people do that! Give them more tax cuts!
You just realized you're a Republican, congratulations!!!
People can and should do as they please with their hard-earned money.

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.![]()
+ 1 I've been shocked and appalled by the responses from liberals I've seen throughout this site. The sad thing is that calling people who disagree with them "brainwashed" is the nicest thing I've seen - much better than the racist, white nationalist, evil, Nazi, etc., they lash out with.

Statements like this just crack me up. PP, you have ZERO idea who voted for Trump. Hint: many, many people that YOU know voted for him. And guess what? They're good people. They simply don't agree with your agenda. That you actually think they would engage you in conversation about their voting choices only emphasizes what an utter imbecile you are.
Agree! I SMH at the liberals here who start off a post with "OK, you Trumpster a-hole racist, tell me......." and then they expect you to lower yourself to engage with someone who talks to you like that.
And you're also right that these sanctimonious liberals who say that you can't be a nice person and a Trump voter would be shocked to learn that some of the nicest, most giving people they know voted for Trump. It doesn't fit their preconceived irrational belief, so they deny it.
If you voted for Trump, deep down something is broken. You are accepting and excusing behavior by the POTUS that is incompatible with "being a nice person". You can give to charity all day long, but you are a phony. There is a disconnect that allows you to compartmentalize being nice to people in your family, your friends, maybe even holding the door for someone at the Starbucks, but not giving a fig about what happens to other people as a result of what this administration is doing.
You support him, you are guilty by association. But enjoy donating those taxes he's saving you.
Wow. So you think I voted for Trump because of tax breaks? I am paying more under him.
I voted for him because I believe his policies will help America survive, unlike the liberal policies that actively work to bring in (and then keep in via sanctuary cities) illegal, illiterate, unskilled Central Americans (reliant on American taxpayers) as a deliberate way of weakening our country because they hate it so much.
You are frightening in your ignorance and hate. Or you are a troll. Can a person actually believe this nonsense?
What about the PP's post is "ignorant, hateful, or nonsense"? I agree with PP. Can you please explain what is untrue in PP's post? Thanks.

Which liberal policies “actively work to bring in...Central Americans”? Please be specific.
Still waiting for a response on this.
But you will never respond with facts....because you are a focking LIAR. There are no liberal policies that do that.
DP. You must be joking. Liberals are constantly crowing about the NEED to bring in these Central American migrants. Keeping them out is "racist"!! We can't have that. Let them in! If you're actually denying that, then you truly need help.
And while we're waiting on questions to be answered, NO ONE on this thread has yet answered the repeated question: when are you planning on opening your homes to illegal immigrants who need shelter, food, clothing, education, jobs, etc.? I'd really love to know why you're all avoiding that question.
Again....which liberal policies “actively work to bring in...Central Americans”? Please be specific.
DP. When are you going to answer the bolded? It's been asked many times over and no one has answered it. That's pretty telling.
NP
Nobody here has claimed they offered up their personal home, but it has been claimed that liberal policies “actively work to bring in...Central Americans."
So, go ahead. Back it up.
Stop. Will ya, FFS.

None say to actively bring in Central Americans. Try again.
I think that is the point. The conservative idiots who go on and on and on and on about how liberals want unchecked immigration are FOS. They are perpetuating a myth created to win elections, not one based in reality. The vast majority of people recognize the need to have laws regarding immigration and ways to know who is coming into our country, for national security and other reasons. Liberals do, however, feel it important to treat other people humanely and oppose the demonization of immigrants for political purposes. Disgusting.
