    If you vote republican, you’re not a good person, and never have been since the party flip-flop. They’ve always been the party trying to suppress the rights of anyone who isn’t a rich white male.

    And now they’re literally traitors trying to overthrow our government.

        You don’t have to be the person who overthrows the government.

        Your vote is for people who incite the overthrowing.

            Why say you support a political party, then say you wouldn’t ever vote for them? Doesn’t that make you… Not a republican?

                In the earlier comments someone said supporting a party that would overthrow the government is bad, and you said

                I never would in a million years

                Which sounded like a “yeah but i wouldn’t overthrow the government”, leading to me assuming you considered yourself a republican

                  No I realise it could be taken that way. If you read further up their comment it says if you vote for someone it’s the same as overthrowing the government. I wrote I would never in response to the voting part, I didn’t need to go any further but I understand how it may have been taken that way

    Are you saying “some republican voters are good people” or “some republican politicians are good people”?

    For the first one, that’s probably true but irrelevant. I think most republican voters are trying to do good with their vote, but they’ve got so caught up in Republican fascism that they honestly think voting red is good.

    For the second one, I highly doubt it. They don’t have the cult behavior excuse, so at best, they’re completely selfish, enough to put their job security over the lives of others.

      I agree strongly with you. The problem is weak leadership from the republicans. The people are just along for the ride on the most part. If the politicians weren’t so spineless and scared of losing their own power they might actually stand up to the shit ones for what they believe in

    You taking about the elected officials, or the voters? You’ll have a much harder time finding politicians who are legitimately good people, let alone republicans.

    Everybody else is shooting you down here, But I’ll meet you in the middle with an even harder to swallow pill.

    There are Republicans who AREN’T BAD people, they are just ignorant. Not stupid, necessarily, but ignorant and uneducated. They might think they’re doing good but they are very very wrong.

      Yes this is what I believe but im not right all the time either so I try to listen. Often it will just confirm what I thought to begin with but sometimes a see it a bit different
