Now it's the Trump party, with all of his pathologies.

(I'm talking ones who specifically avow that they are Eisenhower republicans) and even they are aghast at what has become of their party. They constantly say that this is not their Republican party.

Horrible group of losers with no core beliefs.

A left leaning person gets aggressive then they can't control thier rage, righty does it and then it means the lefty had it coming.

They are so ignorant, they don't even realize they are ignorant.

Oh, and they lurk here.
