    This whole thing of attempting to identify the epitome of a certain party is pretty pathetic. Why cant we just agree the person on this picture is nothing more than a brainwashed idiot devoid of empathy. And ironically this makes the OP of this post the same, a brainwashed idiot who cant just see people for who they are rather than plaster a label and generalize a wide population.

      Turns out when something happens a lot, it’s more useful to try to view it systemically than to write each person individually off as an “idiot devoid of empathy”. “Brainwashing” is a myth, but pretending it’s real, who do you think “brainwashed” this guy? Surely not Republicans, they’ve got their own attitudes and talking points that are unhinged but distinct from this.
