Your attitude is the problem. The other party is not 'an apocalyptic cult'. It's a different set of ideas to your own that's supported by about half the voters in your country. I'm not American but I say this as someone who's own views are pretty much opposite of everything the GOP stands for (I consider even the Democratic party in the US right wing). Demonising the other side gets you nowhere - it makes you look like the asshole, not them.
- youdontknowtho 10y agoWow. Have you not been paying attention? They actively portray liberals and Democrats as un-American all the time. Every democratic president or majority is illegitimate. They've actively stoked racial fears my entire life. They are opposed to critical thinking... you think that last one is hyperbole, except it isn't. The Texas republican party tried to add opposition to teaching kids critical thinking to their official platform in 2012. I wouldn't want to come across like an asshole, though. The other side denies science and started the Iraq war. But I would want to come off as harsh, though...
