3. It's still questionable
If they are people or not.

5. Except for the base...
Your button refers to the elites within the party. But the bewildered base are not mean and selfish, just ignorant and stupid.

11. prejudice is wrong, and this is prejudice-
sorry- i realize you were probably just looking at the humorous side, but i prefer to look at people as individuals, and base my feelings about their behaviour on their actions, not their affiliations, or any other classification.

People are people. Most of us are assholes at sometime in our lives. Some less often than others.

peace :hi:

18. It's not a statement of fact, actually
I have some neighbors down the hill from me who are staunch Republicans who have been nothing but kind and compassionate toward Mr P and myself for the 14 years we've known them.

12. Mostly, they are misinformed, frightened people.
After years of lying fear-mongering by fox "news" and right-wing hate radio, conservatives are afraid of their own shadows. ("Ooga booga - it's BLACK!")
