Look, lefties, it’s not a figment of your imagination. I was a (social) Conservative at one point in my life, maybe to an extent still am, the point is that yes, they are bigots. Bigoted on every level that a mostly white, apparently heterosexual, fundamentalist people can be bigoted on. They hate and they do it for the all the spiteful reasons their parents were doing it during the Jim Crow era, they hate the way ordinary German people were made to hate the Jews, they hate with the fervor of a Jew hating a Palestinian. This is not propaganda, this is not about me trying to make anybody look bad, all it is is me telling you that the Republican stereotypes of ignorant, violent redneck, full of bitterness and looking for somebody to hurt are all true.
The question is how are you going to deal with it. They are not going away, and they have guns and they believe that it is their right to use them in order to correct society’s wrongs. Note that the combination of Evangelical “Christian” religion and the sense of victimhood that racists tend to feel also serves to block anything like a conscience that they may have once had. What you have are armed not too bright sociopaths who are pissed off because their neighbors defied them and elected an evil (insert black-people slur of choice) into the White House.
This is a real problem and people need to stop pretending that your average Con is really a reasonable equal who can be talked away from the dark side.
