According to the Right-Wing Republicans, America's Problems Are Caused By:

1. Democrats
2. Uppity Women
3. Uppity People of Color
4. All Immigrants
5. All Muslims
6. All Atheists
7. Many Jews
8. Uppity LGBTQI People
9. Liberal Christian Denominations
10. Poor People, Including Those Who Voted for Republicans
11. Intellectuals
12. Scientists

If they could only get rid of all of those people somehow, America Would Be Great Again. So, they're looking for ways to do just that, one way or another. Their new health care initiative will take care of some of them. The others will require different solutions. A final solution is being worked on, no doubt. But that's being worked on behind the scenes.

The military is a government program, for example, and they love that so much they want to expand it forever. They also love police and prisons, can't have enough of those. They only rail against government when the government is doing something that benefits the people on MM's list.

And I think their hatred is now been given credibility by a disgusting excuse for a human being.

Problem is even if you impeach, because of a stolen election you now have one of the worst human beings AGAIN as president, Pence.

He hits all of those on your list, starting with government as the other poster points out.

I am getting physical symptoms from worry about all this, and many others are. People die from stress, this motherfucker and his group of fascists are killing us a little each day for real, stress, heart disease.

I'm 71 years old. I'll be gone before the effects really occur, I'm sure. It will take time to eliminate all of those groups.

The first terrible impact it had was in 2000. Imagine a world where Al Gore had been President. It would look somewhat different, I'm sure. Despite the denials from the alt-left, they caused GWB to be selected as President. We've been struggling ever since.

I have to say, I don't understand why the rage is directed more at people who didn't vote for Trump than at those who did. Third party voters are a problem, sure, but Republican voters are a much, much bigger one.

and liar and disgusting person cant be reached at least not in the short run...

Third party voters are allegedly progressive, many of them. They have to realize what they are doing to us when they do that.

Trump voters are dumb, mean and racist, and the vast majority of them cannot ever change.

Do you see now?

I've come to the inevitable conclusion that Republicans simply HATE the poor with a burning passion. They basically believe that the poor are drags upon society and should just be sterilized, starved, abused etc. After all, if people deserve to be successful they WILL be successful. If you're poor it's because you deserve it in their opinion.

Right-wing repukes hate "activist" judges (read: judges who actually interpret the Constitution, as opposed to those who blatantly favor the criminal rich) with a blinding passion and actually wish a tortured death on them.
