The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

Originally posted by carpedm9587 View PostUnfortunately, Jim, the patriotic, democracy-loving portion of the Republican party is nowhere near half. It's less than a tenth by last count. The rest have bought into the "cult of Trump," and basically renounced pretty much everything the Republican party used to stand for.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

A Republican voter labelling themselves "Independent" is like North Korea labelling itself "Democratic People's Republic". They only fools they're fooling are themselves."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I originally figured that independent would have a mixed party voting record, but most I come across are basically Republican (or Democrat) in all but name- they just for some reason don't like being called one, even if that's how they exclusively vote.

Nationally, because of policy, I will vote Republican, but locally, there are a number of times I'll vote for the Democrat - like Sheriff or a judge or.... It's like the local Democrats haven't quite sold their souls to the devil like the national Democrats have.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Sparko View PostOne of the reasons I voted for Trump last time was to watch liberal's head explode. That and to NOT vote for Killary.
1. Far more accurate to say that I voted against Hillary. Usually I vote third party when it is between "NOPE & NOPER" but this time the state was actually up for grabs (something I haven't seen since 1980).
