To cling to power they are treasonous.....Do they hate democracy that much?

(31,658 posts)Is that all liberals do is raise taxes so they can give generous handouts (which they often call "free stuff" to lazy people who are not deserving. (meaning people of color, immigrants, and single mothers) They really, really, resent one penny of their taxes going to programs such as food stamps and Medicaid.

they will NEVER get along with us and the sooner we all know that, the sooner we stop wasting time to "accomodate".

(58,785 posts)equate with fascism, socialism, extremism, national decline, immorality, etc., has become the basic political ideology for large numbers. A basic frame of belief so deeply inculcated that hate isn't required to sustain.
After all, 20 years ago Rush had already been starting segments with "Folks, you won't believe what the Democrats want to do now" for longer than that. If it was, "Now they expect people to get up and go to work in the morning," his well trained audience would wait expectantly, minds wide open, for the explanation of how Democrats were -- of course -- perverting even that.

(4,832 posts)- Outside of the US, which country would you want to live in? What would be your number 1 pick, if money were no object?
- Why do you choose that country?
They will usually dodge a bit. Keep asking. Eventually, they will name a country with a good social safety net.
By removing the discussion from the US, it breaks them out of their trained soundbites. Sort of like talking to someone with Alzheimer's -- try to reach the memories and brain cells that existed before Rush Limbaugh and Fox news destroyed their thinking powers.
Alternative question:
- Which country, outside of the US, has the type of government and society closest to your ideal? No social safety net, no state healthcare, few rules and regulations on industry?
- Would you want to live there?

(4,558 posts)Im thinking the only way to MAKE them care about or sovereignty and integrity of our elections is for one or more of our candidates to start asking foreign countries to find Rumps collusion. Have our candidates have secret meetings with Chinese leadership, or leaked secret meetings with Germanys leadership.
If they are willing to overlook the sleazy ass shit going on just because it benefits them, perhaps we should at least give the illusion that it is now benefitting us to get them to get off their asses and do their job.

Russian interference? Russian hacking? If it results in a new tax cut bill for me, I'm good with that. If it results in overturning Obamacare, it's all good. If it results in a conservative S.Ct., isn't it worth it?

(428 posts)Our side's inability to grasp this or to understand it and fight it is why we are in the situation we are in now. These people are sociopaths driven by hatred above all else. Our political operatives and candidates and representatives have been operating as though these actually were "people of faith" or that they actually wanted "small government" or that they were "patriots" and that they were voting based on "economic anxiety" and while our side was just waiting for these people to come around or while we wasted time and money and effort and elections trying to figure out how to reach the unreachable, they have destroyed our country.
And now, like with so many things before now (the Iraq war, terrorist attacks, the economic collapses) the people who are paid and whose entire job it is to know better go "How did this happen?!?!? Who could have seen this coming?!?!" While those of us that did slap our heads, put our faces in our hands, and cry out of frustration that nobody wanted to listen to the voices that were telling us this stuff long ago when we still had a chance to defeat it.

(32,640 posts)The Mueller report found that they were ordering their bots to support Trump, Sanders and Stein.
They either like the far left in the U.S. or they view them as a useful tool.
