One important fact you might consider is that not all Republicans are the same. ...and that the worst actors held up by the media are not even representative of the average.
...and that moreover, you might consider you are intentionally fed biased information to help reinforce your political stances and hyper-emotional content, because emotional voters are more loyal than thinking voters.
Think for yourself. Recognize the good in your opposition. Denounce the bad in your own. No political party (nor their associated media outlets) are above lying and public manipulation.

Or are you truly suggesting that even conversing with someone who holds an opinion that differs from yours somehow makes you of the same opinion?

Are you truly suggesting the correct action to take with Nazi's is a discussion? Because there is a certain British PM that tried that approach back in the day....

- q1w2 5y agoWell in the case above - I haven't seen literally any other GOP politician support Gov Parson's effort here. So again - you are generalizing and stereotyping.
