5. I frequently ask people this question: What good have republicans done
for the people of the US?

I have yet to get a direct answer.

When I asked this to a "republican defender" Democratic voter that graduated first in her class from a major university, she could not answer me - she was genuinely stupefied. She actually had to spend hours on the internet to find information on something genuinely productive that republicans had done, and came some obscure bill on water rights in New Mexico that was co-authored by Democrats.

This is why I think bipartisanship is a fairy tale. Republicans have no positive productive ideas, and it is basically impossible to work with them because their entire ideology is a party line based sham that has the primary purpose of keeping republicans in power so that they can protect and foster corporate control of our government.
