    We know how GOP voters weigh the bigotry that comes with voting for its reps. That’s all we need to know. The truth is literally laid bare.

    Bigotry is a 2 way street. Candidates from both sides are clearly bigoted at each other. I try to vote for candidates who’s beliefs match with mine, but sometimes that’s hard. Everyone deserves to be respected, even if you don’t agree with them. But so much politics has just turned into calling names.

    That’s a nice thought. I see you still haven’t run out of benefit of the doubt to give.

    I think the issues are systemic, not individual. It doesn’t make sense that so many people would be evil. Look at the Milgram experiment. It shows that the average person will literally commit murder in the correct environment. So does that mean the average person is evil?

    I’ve yet to meet a conservative that’s arguing in good faith and is willing to change their view when presented with a sound argument.

    I am. Although I’m not just conservative. It really depends on the subject, sometimes I’m conservative, and sometimes I’m liberal. I really want to avoid just picking one side, and saying the other side is evil.
