The Republican party has been a racist party, at best, my entire life. And people who support it are complicit in supporting racism, regardless of why they do it. Simple ignorance or venal intentions, or ignorant venal intentions. You throw the word bigotry around carelessly. Is It bigotry to oppose a racist party? George Wallace, Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms parties? Was it bigotry to oppose the Nazi party? Putin's party? You are not seeing the evil of the Republican Party..

And yet the cult of personality they watered over there, on the right, which started with Raygun- helped ensure that Trump, media whore and con man that he was, won the election- not to mention the casual racism the reptards have only been too happy to embrace. Nodding Ronnie- who could not recall much of anything, because he was demented- was the prototype for this demented orange creep. And while the republicans may not mean to be evil, they are doing evil- by enabling Russian interference (and championing the killing of an investigation into the very real possibility that Scrotus has been involved in money laundering and God knows what financial shenanigans with the Ruskies.) They are gleefully supporting assholes that want to make the rich, richer, and are quite specifically taking aim at the poor, and Medicare and Social Security. I'm not sure how much more evil you can be than to take aim at the poorest and the neediest, and screw 'em with a sharp stick. To make your country a sadder more pathetic place is evil. I'm sure the reptards don't think they're evil- after all, they were their USA undies and their MAGA hats made in China...
