Let's Be Clear . . .

"Maze 9" by Herr D on Paint for Windows. Sometimes true wisdom requires more alternatives.--Shelob

 You do not vote by party. Perhaps those voters who know your wisdom might like you to explain.

 I don’t like about a third of the policies democrats want. I don’t like about half of the candidates democrats want. I hate cancel culture. I don’t think the new multiple-letter approach to gender issues is an improvement so much as a different way things can go wrong.

I like the PEOPLE.

When Democrats go nuts, they get arrested for not containing their protests to the sidewalk, or disturbing the peace. When they REALLY go nuts, they help loot a store or two and go to jail and get sued for damages. Their pundits apologize when they get something wrong.

When Republicans go nuts, they back a lout like Trump who actually DAMAGES the country and pretend everything he does is fine, lying about it when they can. When they REALLY go nuts, they try kidnapping, voter intimidation, hurting elected officials and family members, looting our government offices, and go to jail killing police, all while CLAIMING they want a nation of laws. One of their pundits lied so obviously and so heinously that he was successfully sued for a record high settlement. When their pundits get something wrong, they lie about it and keep going.  Tucker Carlson broke the record last night for logical errors.

Which record? Facts? No. His factual errors are on par with other pundits supported by Fox News. He and his guest made 22 logical errors in 27 minutes and four seconds. Hannity had made 13 in the same amount of time, and Ingraham made 16.

Wow. That's another thing. Fox isn't a dark horse, it's a saboteur and a disinformation spreader. And it doesn't help that their pundits are so DITZY! REAL intelligent people like Maddow and her cronies check their facts or have their staff do it. They actually TELL the truth, though they don't like it sometimes. Then they use REAL BRAINS TO ANALYZE IT. --And no, they don't always reach the right conclusions, but they do a good job and admit when they do it wrong. Your assessment seems accurate. That is odd, considering the 'religious right' label given to some Republicans.

They're the religious WRONG. They're the ones that have been successfully misled into thinking that people who bombed abortion clinics valued life though they killed people. They're the ones who've been fooled into thinking anti-fascism is a bad idea, though fascism is the sort of government espoused by Hitler himself. They're the ones that think they should inch America toward a theocracy, though America was founded on the ideal of religious freedom.  Do they believe they are saving the units called souls?

[snicker] You can't save souls by legislation. You MIGHT get people to pretend they're good people by having them hide bad behavior better, but they're still going to be bad people. They might even be worse because they'll spend more time deceiving others. You are religious?

I'm Quaker. We invented the conscientious objector, where a person might go to war as a non-combat worker--cook, clerk, or medic, for example. A way to serve our country without killing others. It takes bravery, along with every other quality a good soldier has, even aggression! The aggression is used to 'attack' one's duties and training materials. So you are in the religious middle?

[sighs] Yeah, I guess. That do it? Thank you. [exits]
