5. This is a sad fact. Not just "hatin' on the opponent" politics. This Repub Party is different.

This Republican Party has been taken over by a group of extremists who have sanctioned crimes and unethical behavior.

No, this is not the Grand Old Party, anymore. This is something else. You can't "unify" and "work across the aisle" with people who are at war with you. You reach consensus with them only by doing it their way.

There are a few establishment Republicans mixed in with them, most of whom are scared to speak out, or their careers and personal lives might be destroyed. It's not a political party whose ideals and love of our democracy is intact, but ideology differs on how to govern. It's something else.
