Well…you agree with her statement that people are sick of Republicans. I hope you don’t agree with her reasons why.

People are certainly sick of margarine traitor green, santos claws, desatanist, and bubo the clown, among others…

I’ve argued for years that Republicans were in a civil war over ownership of the word “Republican”. Now, they’ve extended that battle to the word “Conservative”.

Ironic, because they aren’t even conservative anymore. That would be too left wing and woke for them.

My in-laws generally consider themselves conservative (little ‘c’.) They want minimal government intervention in their own lives, oversight on spending (which is not the same as no spending), and have a general attitude of “if you’re not hurting me, why would I care what you do?” Yeah, we can have discussions over some of the specifics within this framework, but I note they withdrew from the Republicans as soon as DJT started to rise to power.
Republicans have been trying to wrest the word conservative away from others for a very long time now!

I mean, often Republicans weren’t always assholes. We’re just sick and tired of the assholes of any political party.

How old are you? 52 yesterday, and I sure don’t remember that time.

The Republican Party was formed in large part as an anti-slavery party, wasn’t it (maybe not for fully humanitarian reasons)? Just because I wasn’t alive then doesn’t mean I can’t reference the period.
Of course, times change and people change. Hence, the problems we have with today’s Republican Party.

We do have ways of knowing what times were like in the time before we existed… this magical things called history books written by historians… Take a look!

Republicans created these:
- U.S. EPA
- the [original!] Square Deal
Yeah. Right thing. Various reason(s). I mean, Lincoln did sign the Emancipation Proclamation but he also called for the killing of the indigenous peoples inside U.S. borders–and their food supply: bison–too.

True. That is why I used the word “often”, and not “always”. Politics is never a truly black/white situation.
Not to mention, there have been some truly horrible Democrats.

All the slave-holding ones. All the rabidly racist ones.
