They learned from the best over in Russia.

Yeah I get that sorry about the name calling I'm just burnt out with this shit and angry. I guess it gets old always watching the Republicans fuck up left and right but the Democrats have to clean it up with little to no praise.

He literally goes on the news and trys to blame all this stuff on Democrats and then he needs them to save his job. Democrats are just supposed to bail them out of their inability to do anything correctly.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Yeah maybe the Democrats should step in and save the Republicans one more time. Then they can go on network television and continue to blame Democrats and give them no credit for keeping the government open.

Maybe they feel like it's time Republicans finally deal with the consequences of their actions. Maybe some America's will wake up and see for themselves how dysfunctional that party really is.

However, in retrospect we will probably find out you're right and that whatever we get after this is going to be worse than what we had. The enemy you know is better than one you don't.

Stop blaming Democrats for the inability of the Republicans to govern. They made this mess and I'm not going to sit by while some dumbass like you tries to blame everybody but them.

Yeah he has also done it out in the open....on national TV. His voters don't care. It's a cult and Republicans are unable to think for themselves they just agree with whatever he says.

Ding ding ding!

I get what you are saying and I think everyone is just so angry and that makes them defensive. The only path a lot of people see is thru the system we have and making change with in it. So the best path to that change is the democratic party and people are sick of hearing the argument that they are just the same. They aren't the same at all. However just because the other political part is irredeemable doesn't mean we can't be critical of "our" side. The Democrats are an obvious better choice but they still have a lot of problems that need to be addressed. We just need to make sure we keep what democracy we have and work to make it stronger.

You basically contradict yourself in the first sentence.... They're fine with gay people existing as long as they're not gay? The mental gymnastics you're going through in this whole thing would be hilarious if it wasn't scary how many people think like you. First off you don't even know what group I fall into when it comes to civil rights so it's pretty presumptuous of you to assume my civil rights aren't being hampered. I'm honestly sorry you have lived a life that has put you on a path to hate and I hope one day you can see we are all humans and we are allowed to be different. You're allowed to not like it but it's not your place to tell consenting adults who they can love. That's a you problem not an us problem.

I was just giving you an example of something evangelicals do such as protesting planned Parenthood clinics. I don't see how picking up a sign would change an evangelical to just be an activist and no longer be an evangelical Christian. Possible for them to try and fill both roles at the same time.

Once again presuming that I don't want to know something. It seems to me you're the one with the blinders on. You claim religion doesn't inflict damage and pain? Because people do? Yeah those people do it in the name of their religion.... I feel like it's hard to have a conversation with somebody who seemed to have slept through all of their history classes. I also never stated that religion can't be positive in somebody's life. Spirituality can be very good and very beneficial for some people and that's great and I'm happy for people who find some kind of relief in the world that we live in. What I have a problem with is religious people trying to push their ideas on others and using their gods as an excuse to commit atrocities against those around them.

It doesn't seem like you and me can see eye to eye on these subjects because we're not looking through the same lens. I'm sure we have other areas we could agree on and could make progress on. However, when it comes to having empathy for other humans I think that's where we fundamental differ. We could make this world such a better place for all of us.

Dude..... Evangelicals don't think gay people should exist. Don't think anybody in the LGBTQ+ community should exist. They want to strip us of our fundamental civil rights. That's a little more than annoying. Yeah I described the ideal of what the separation of church and state should really mean. I don't know why you're pointing that out. We all know that's how it's supposed to work but that's not how it is working.

I'm also not sure what you're saying when referencing describing what evangelicals are doing. They don't leave people alone they harass them. All you have to do is go drive by your local planned Parenthood and you'll see a bunch of evangelicals Not minding their own business. If you look across our entire country you can find endless examples of evangelical people not minding their own business and not letting other people live their lives.

I don't understand anybody who can look at any religion and not see the damage and pain it has inflicted on humans across time.

It might be annoying to you because you're just another flavor of Christian but for the rest of us we are telling you that's not the case.

....Or here's an idea all religious people can be free to practice their religion as long as it hurts no one and doesn't infringe on other people's rights. It's simple really. It's a huge world out there and not everybody's going to believe in the same things you do and you just have to get over it. Don't push your shit on other people. We don't believe in it and stop trying to make us. Mind your own business and stop fucking up the world for the rest of us who just want to live peacefully with our families and friends.

It isn't annoying at best evangelicals are mentally ill

The world needs more than entrepreneurs though and those people deserve a living wage.

They don't want a health society. If we are happy and fulfilled then we aren't as easily manipulated.

Oh well actually you're just helping me past time at my job. A job is that thing your friends can't hold down. Anyway take care it's been fun!
