2. I think that about covers it. I like the chart! I've got some people that
need to see what their party looks like as I see no room for moderates anymore, much as I suspected.

4. There is no such room anymore.
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 05:55 AM by Betty Karlson
Why do you think I was driven away from it?

7. Yep. I have a number of Friends that tell me the same, they said they
just could not stand all of the RW stuff anymore. It's a shame what the R party has become, because I thought in the old days, well way back, the R's and D's sort of balanced each other out so we got a middle of the road but good solution.

Now it flips one way or the other and has so severely polarized the nation which is very bad for the country. I still have some moderate friends that are R's, but I really don't think they pay enough attention to how much the R party has changed. I'm glad you are with the D's.

5. I think there is some overlap between the categories.
Most of the fearful, ignorant rednecks and hick are also racists. Actually, come to think of it, most of the rich people, childlike libertarians, and tin-foil hat wearers are probably racists, too.

6. Where to put the SEXUALLY REPRESSED?
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 06:03 AM by immoderate
Also the religious fundamentalists are not represented. They might be interspersed among the other categories. Can Republicans multi-task? :shrug:

8. Yep. Probably need a couple of more categories and then one for "all/most of the above."

9. I don't see "secretly gay homophobes" on there.
But maybe that's a subset of "fearful, ignorant rednecks and hicks".

10. Right next to the diaper-wearing, prostitute-visiting subset.

12. Excellent spot on, but missing the "religiously insane".

14. They fall under "fearful, ignorant redneck & hicks" and/or "racists".
Edited on Wed Mar-24-10 10:36 AM by HopeHoops
On Edit:

Jesus was blond with blue eyes, spoke English, and apparently didn't stick out in the Middle East.

16. Good observation it gave me an idea (fantasy).
My sincerest hope is that there is a special place in the after life for the religiously insane GOP. No hell fire or damnation, just a place where Jesus appears as Middle Eastern Semite and all of the GOP Christians are forced to learn ancient Aramaic and wear period clothing.

13. BONUS: A subverted version of "This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock" copypasta
Caution: The thread also contains a subverted version of the "Make Up of the Modern Republican Party" (Proving that 4chan is a equal opportunity offender, just like South Park) Plus, responses from other anonymous 4channers.

15. There are a lot of Democratic rednecks
Like my retired union shipfitter father. Just saying. Just because someone likes country music, fishing and hunting doesn't make them a Republican.
