Press Never Mentions How Evil Republicans Actually Are And Pushing F-ing Unity

Every single thing the Republican Party stands for is pure evil.

Robbing the poor to help billionaires, and the corporations they own.
Making climate change worse.
Welfare for billionaires.
Billionaire tax cuts.
Cutting food stamps, medicaid, and medicare every chance they get.
Trying to privatize social security. The list goes on.

Republicans are simply, plainly, pure evil. And the press treats them like they are just "different" than Democrats, or liberals. All our problems are the fault of the corporate mouthpieces holding mics in front of cameras calling their acts and votes acceptable.

Now the press are all doing their "unity" tour with anyone who wants to ignore how evil Republicans REALLY are and call for "toning it down". With a whole party, backed by trillions of dollars of wealth, and billionaires who would kill us all if it meant another billion in their Swiss bank accounts, we are supposed to get along while they try to kill our families?

Now they are trashing the internet "hate speech" by the asshole shooter from yesterday. There are millions of us out there, possibly billions who hate Republicans guts, because of what they do. Why don't they interview us, and ask us why we hate them? At this point in time I think it would be appropriate.

billionaires are reflected in their hiring decisions, from producer on down. Then there's an interest in at least seeming fair and balanced so that they can deflect these sorts of claims, so they throw in one or two Democrats to "even" things out.

He could try to do SOMETHING that the Dems would like instead of fucking them over in every single instance. Does he actually expect unity (even after the Congressional shooting) by not offering one single fig leaf to the Dems?

Cut SS
Cut Medicare
Cut food stamps
Cut mental health funding
Cut subsidies to low-income people seeking health insurance
Huge tax cuts to the rich
Pull back LGBTQ initiatives
Go back to repressive Cuba policies
Resurrect the drug war

And some people were actually speculating Trump was a liberal! Ha! That's a cruel joke.
