I did, just yesterday. she was worried that the blacks (used a far worse term) were going to come and rape her and would only accept a white electrician in her home.

This was a new one for me, but certainly in the same lane as a large proportion of how conversations seem to go down here in conservative-ville USA.

What a bizzare encounter. No that is not the entire right....

Oh, I have. They just don't have anything of substance to contribute. Literally nothing of value to contribute to society.

You support the Republican party, because they've convinced you that liberals are evil.

No I support the right because the left makes decisions I dont agree with and the right has more ideas in line with my views. Simple as that.

And that's where the problem is - politics is about society as a WHOLE, not about how YOU feel. The entire republican platform is "own the libs". Government is supposed to work for EVERYONE - otherwise, it has no purpose. Corporations don't need government, PEOPLE do. You AND I.

Since the data first started getting recorded, the economy has been significantly better under Democratic presidents, for example.

And you don't care about the world around you, or learning new things.

Your faith is the answer for anything you don't know, and outlets like Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart - serve you groups of people to hate, and the world seems smaller and more manageable.

It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses - the door-to-door isn't actually about recruiting, it's to teach members that outsiders are mean, and evil, but the church is family. It's safer with them.

Liberals don't need safe spaces - we understand the world around us gets better if we all work together.
