If you want to be serious, provide me an example, just one, of someone being unfairly called all of those words. Just one. Surely you can do that much, right? ---

America had eugenics programs that sterilized retarded people. The Nazis just killed them. So, really, both sides do it. ---

How about me? I am a Republican. I am en-scoped in that bull shit. Does that make me a racist, sexist, homophobe, and all the other lib hot words? It is a bad generalization. ---

Are people actually calling you all of those words, or are they merely referring to others and you’re whining about it? Are you a racist? Are you sexist? Are you a homophobe? Honestly, I don’t know. I know a fair number of Republicans and self-described Conservatives that would swear they’re none of those things in one breath and then say something stupidly racist or anti-gay in the next. ---

When you always vote lock-step for the racist, sexist, homophobic ticket it gets really tiring hearing people like you say you aren’t those things, but always vote for those things. ---

Two party system dude. You get ALL of the liberal bullshit, or you get ALL of the republican bullshit. ---

Hillary identified two baskets of Trump supporters: one with all the racists and sexists and homophobes, and the other one with people who are just desperate for some sort of positive change. If the basket fits, hop in and ride it to where it’s going. Your choice. ---

Seriously, though, I don’t think a person is necessarily a bigot or other assorted asshole for being a Republican. Supporting Trump, however, cannot be defended. ---

Some people can laugh at the dumb shit in both parties and admit it is there. Chimera you are a one sided stupid fuck. ---

I am one of those people. I admit the fallacies within both parties. You have a democratic broom shoved so far up your ass you can’t sit straight. YOU just don’t like differing opinions. ---
