No matter how good the Democrats are or how much better they are as candidates. The GOP's hateful memes work for them and will in the future. It is easier to appeal to voters over the hatred and vile than it is to appeal to hope. And sadly I overhear so many conversations and am around so many other people where the GOP message resonates.
As I said in another post 4 senior men behind me reflected 100% the GOP message in their after golf get together. It was so maddening is was hard NOT to say something they were so hateful and stupid. Yet they were probably on Social Security and Medicare. And they are typical of a lot of white male seniors and even white mails who will never vote for a Democrat.
And we can count on another 12 1/2 months of even more verbal vomit. And to listen to the GOPPER candidates is just sickening.

They are KNOW nothings and they HATE the very system and people who have made their leisurely golf game possible.
They cant EVER accept and admit this, NOT EVER.

(15,805 posts)Take pride that the demographics are all on our side. These aging Republicans are in the midst of a mass extinction die off. Either through the consequences of their own competitive Darwinism, or the natural attrition of a failing species that can't adapt to it's new environment, time is on our side. The changing views of our ever evolving society is in the process of establishing an exciting new culture that reflects the more liberal views of our youthful and multicultural population. Republicans will become even more crazy as the clock continues to wheedle down their numbers and the realize that they are toothless, impotent, but also irrelevant.
