Yes, of course the response is to dismiss me instead of rebutting my points. What did I say that was wrong or detached from reality?
Last I checked, it's republicans who hate universal healthcare while most democrats support it.
I don't recall any time it was democrats who were trying to push to have the bible reinstated in schools.
Every news story I hear about democrats and their involvement in the school systems is urging it to change by putting more money into them, where republicans are often found limiting funds or trying to push bibles in school (such as in texas).
Almost every ongoing republican value that I see touted by the media, by the people I know, by its detractors, and by its supporters boils down to "less in taxes, more personal freedom, fuck poor people/people who need help, and stop trying to change the world by removing religion/limiting gun ownership/being all PC and easily offended."
Are ALL Republicans this way? Of course not. Are all Democrats that way, either? Also, no. However, that seems to be the core values of republicans: maintain the status quo, change - even good change - is bad change because it requires us to reevaluate ourselves and FUCK THAT THIS IS AMERICA WE ARE PERFECT AND FUCK ALL OTHERS!
History will look back at the modern right wing with disdain, much like they did with confederates.

If I thought it would make a difference I would have responded to your last post. You’re not American and have no idea what you are talking about. You can have your views, I don’t care.

So that's how you show pride in your values, by hiding behind a generic 'You're not American, you wouldn't understand' rhetoric?
How decidedly "American patriot" of you.
Instead, how about you ACTUALLY put some effort in to show why your values are positive and not negative. How about actually try to at the very least explain why republican values are positive for the greater good and not just for selfish corporations or unchecked capitalism. How about at least put forth a single argument that counters my points, show examples where I'm wrong, or hell, even just try some anecdotal evidence to tell me why I'm wrong. There are plenty of ways to counter my points with varying degrees of effectiveness, at least try one.
Or don't, and accept that my accusations ring true. Either I'm right and Republicans are inherently terrible (Modern ones, anyway; there's nothing intrisically flawed about what right wing politics/republicans stand for at their core but modern politics have twisted it so that the American Right is just wrong on so many levels), or I'm right and you are proud to be supporting a bigoted political party that doesn't give a shit about you. But hey, at least they're getting rid of the brown people, right? That's more important than the environment or schools or international relations or healthy living conditions or wealth equality or healthcare or any of the other very important staples of any decent nation that calls themselves 'first world'. Who cares about any of that, we have brown people to bomb, mexicans to put in cages, and an entire religion to suppress.
If I'm wrong, I'd love to hear your counter points. REAL Counter points, not made-up bullshit stats about how 'too many muslims are terrorists so we should deport them all', or how 'all illegal mexican immigrants are stealing our jobs and taking up welfare dollars, which is why illegal immigration is hurting us so much.' USe real facts, not made up facts championed by fox news despite being provably wrong.
