How beat down would you have to be to be a Republican?

What would do it? I’m sure I would break eventually, with enough torture. But to completely suspend rational thought, to substitute what you want to be real for what is actually real - you’d have to beat me a lot.

Amoral rich people, batshit crazy Evangelicals and stupid spiteful mouthbreathers who can always be counted on to vote against their interests.
I am GDaddy and I approve of this message. You must go forth and proclaim it loudly. Oh, and its okay to burn a few cars and loot a few stores while you do it. Capitalism isn't going to overthrow itself, you know.

The Republicans can't do it because they haven't evolved enough to build a fire.

Have you been paying attention to iFall and his white male victimhood? He seems pretty beaten down by society. Poor guy.

your post lacks nuance.

50% of people are dumber than average.
I doubt it isn't that Republicans are beat down. I think the stupid half was more active than the smarter half.

I still am a Republican, and I believe in the Republican ideals.

Trump isn't a Republican, he is a carnival barker. Mitch McConnell doesn't believe in Republican ideals. He is a ruthless dealmaker who brings home the graft for his State.

The Democratic principals are the principals of Warren and Maxine Waters. It gives me no joy to align with them.

It really comes down to the majority of folks are selfish, and the extreme are asshole.

The Republicans are fucked for the next decade, because if they had stood up to PresidentRump, the would be seen by all as virtuous and trustworthy.

As it is, the current leadership has alienated themselves from 60% of the population.

As an example, there is a poster here, one in particular, that blindly agrees with the party. Nobody believes anything he says, and everyone calls him a fool to his face. He has lost all credibility. On election day, I will remember him as the fool he is. I will be motivated to get to my polling place, just to block fools like that.

This fool has no idea how to be a salesman, and to bring anyone to his side.

The right has shown to be more dangerous than the left. So free thinking Republicans will cross over to the other side, until a time that the existing Right Wing leaders die off, or an equal monster appears from the left.

The Left horizon has nothing to compare with PresidentRump

You seem to be suggesting that it’s “as if” Republicans are brain injured, or otherwise mentally deficient in some way. So, yeah, if I sustained a serious enough brain injury I might sympathize with Republicans. I agree.

Nope, it's that the lower intelligent Republicans got more active. PresidentRump called to them, like he was the main bout at a pro wrestling extravaganza. They flocked to the carnival where Mitch picked their pockets.

Mix that with the jackals that want a middle school food fight.

The sensible Right will vote for Bernie, until the corrupt leadership dies off.
