Republican #1:
Male. Molested his wife's little sister between the ages of 9 and 13 and at one time left his wife to run off with the younger neighbor woman. He left her a note and proceeded to run up THEIR credit card with said woman. Wife stupidly forgave him and he came back. (church made them remarry so he could restate his vows since he lied / broke them the first time). After that, the wife took over the budget to get them out of hock. When she confronted him about his child molesting behavior he told her the little kid sister was lying and had "made it up" because she was "jealous". Wife believed HIM but not her baby sister. He was ALSO caught with a 13-year-old neighbor girl by another family member. A family friend was years later busted for looking at child porn while drunk. This same guy LAMBASTED him to hell and back for it. THIS guy - the one who molested his wife's SISTER between 9 and 13 years of age AND a 13-year-old neighbor girl and also ran off on his wife with a neighbor - was LAMBASTING the family friend for LOOKING at child porn. NONE of that shit is right of course but the HYPOCRISY. Ugh. Racist too. Tells "n*gger" jokes still and thinks it's OK.
Republican #2
Female. Evangelical. LOVES her church. (this is the wife referenced above). Said that if she worked in a place where LGBTQ people were allowed to be themselves and / or where she had to use their proper pronouns, she'd HAVE to "tease them, or say something" to them. Said she'd not be able to help herself because they "have it coming". She calls Berkeley "Berzerkely" and she says she HATES San Francisco because of the gays. Never asked her wtf the "gays" ever did to HER (answer of course is NOTHING) to deserve her HATE ie: "they have it coming". Figured there's no point. It's just fucking HATE. ALSO racist. Said once that "black people are lazy" and has made other racist comments about them.
Republican #3
Male. HATES women. Period. Says so. Told his own mother she "disgusts" him. He's an MRA (Men's Rights Activist - look that up but be warned these creeps are NASTY, violent, rape-culture UGLY and do not and can not consider female homo sapiens human). Verbally abusive. Never married. Thankfully, no kids. LITERAL angry, white, male. USED to be a Democrat. UNTIL Hillary Clinton got the nomination. Then -- he voted for TRUMP. Said - literally: "I am not voting for no feminism!" Angry malignant narcissist who believes everyone - especially females - are stupid. Except himself, of course. He's basically Trump, sans the orange patina, blue eyes, obesity and hair (Republican #3 has no hair).
ALL of them are LITERALLY LIVING ON SO-CALLED "SOCIALISM" - Social security, Medicare, disability. And living VERY WELL on it I might add. At least one of them is a millionaire. But they don't believe anyone ELSE should have benefit of social security or healthcare or disability. THEY "need it", they'll smugly tell you.
So there you have it: hypocrisy, hate, racism and sexism. And all of them LIVING ON THE SOCIALISM THEY SO VEHEMENTLY DECRY all while voting Republican which will result in themselves AND everyone else getting massive cuts to their social benefits.
THIS is the Republican party.
What about the Republicans YOU know? Let's see how they compare.

(51,584 posts)Typical hypocrisy from the party of greed and hate.
They really do hate and fear women so they feel they need to maintain their power and control by hurting and controlling women any way possible. The female GOP members have been brainwashed through centuries of religious and financial/political control.

(10,721 posts)I've said it before and I'll say it again, there is no Republican Party without racism and sexism. If we work hard to reduce racism and sexism, we essentially destroy the GOP.
brush
(53,767 posts)able to disguise it somewhat but the crude ones have long since taken overprobably starting with Gingrich and the neocons in the 90s and culminating with the teaparty takeover in 2010.
Now the pure essence of their movement is personified by the orange lunatic now in the WH.

Republican #1:
White male. Country club member. Has been known to be an abuser of women. In the time that I've known him, has gone through girlfriends at about the same rate as people go through cars. Small business owner. Treats his business like it's his personal piggy bank. Wears bronzer and hair coloring because he obviously has aging issues. Also, avid Fox News fan.
Republican #2:
Large business owner. Made a fortune in biotechnology. Also, avid church goer who is a really high ranking member of his church. Is also a rabid pro lifer and watches Fox News like 24 hours a day, and is one of those people who thinks Trump is the second coming of Jesus despite the fact that he has like 3 PhDs and should definitely know better.

(13,772 posts)I just shrank my circle of friends and activities to a very small group.
The more my Trumpista acquaintances talk or act, the more I despise their actions and words.
