Those two posters and their ilk do not seem to have a genuine interest in how a Republican thinks or to respect an honest opposing belief; they would view whatever I say as only more grist for their sarcasm. I’m not going to debate ideology; **Budget Player Cadet** is already doing that ably. But you’d better be ready to deal with some ribbing. Whether or not you agree with all of the policies of your party, you are tacitly approving of them by associating yourself with them. And there are, to my view, some _very_ backward and anti-democratic (little ‘d’) policies included in that ideology. My comment was exaggerated for comic effect. I don’t paint every Republican with the same brush, but I also don’t absolve you of responsibility for the more irrational views of your party-mates as long as you vote with them, whatever you think of them. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/question-for-republicans-if-trump-wins-the-nomination/739332)._
