Reply #34: If you are a "real Republican"

[omega minimo]

can you help explain the complacency of "real Republicans" as their party has been hijacked by the "twisted thought process" "screaming idiots" a la Bush or Gingrich or Reagan?

Why would reasonable "real" Republicans continue identifying with and supporting what that party has become?

The "sad conscripts" have been in charge for a decade or two or three, eh?

"no matter how much bile and malice we hear from either side"

As the Far Right turned the Republicans into the party of bile and malice, they escalated their propaganda war by accusing the Left of equivalent bile and malice. Today people say "both sides do it." Bullshit. The Republicans rule with the Big Lie and that is one of them.
