I have the greatest respect for your thinking, but I do not think I am engaging in hyperbole when I chastise the Republicans party for their policies the last 100 years. There is a reason African Americans vote 95% Democrat in every election and Latinos and Asians over 70's and women and millennials are flocking to the Democratic party.

I think the over riding behavior of conservatives and the conservative Republican party over the last 100 years should be recognized first and understood with clarity. Then we can give credit where credit is due. If the school yard bully occasionally doesn't beat up someone or pets a dog, I am not going to give them too much credit.

You know this history of the conservative and conservative Republican party from 1920. Hoover, Harding and Coolidge Destroyed the economy with fraud and made life hard on the poor, Republicans fought FDR's New Deal all the way; 50's, the right wing John Birch Society, Macarthyism and House of Unamerican Activities that targeted liberals, 60's: worked against African Americans, integration and Affirmative action and supported Viet Nam war, 70's Nixon and Lee Atwater's Southern strategy, , 80's Reagan and Republicans start a systematic destruction of unions and the middle class and start supply side economics, 90's Gingrich and Tom Delay and terrible social policy and massive corruption, 2,000 Bush and the Republicans drag the country through the mud, empower the oligarchs even more,, balloon the debt and almost destroy the world financial system and start two dumb wars and now Trump and the Republicans presents an existential threat to the country and indeed world.

Now if you know some great policy the conservative Republicans initiated in the last 100 years that the liberals missed I would be interested.

It should at least be noted when they do something right. Even if there might be some other motive in play. Because the good of the country is the important point. Not purity of purpose.
