I wasn't referring to politicians. I was referring to the general population, and we do hate other it seems. Owning the libs? The deplorables? The demonrats? Over 60 percent of average Republicans believe that the election was stolen. No evidence? Who cares? I am sure there are reasonable Republicans, but they don't vote that way. They accept unreasonable too often. Tea Party? Freedom Caucaus? They go to government to tear it apart because they fundamentally disagree with the idea that the government has a responsibility to make the lives of citizens better. I agree 100 percent that there should be no money in politics, and ALL elections should be publicly funded. I would go further and eliminate the ability to boldly lie as a politician. Death panels for instance? Stolen election? Eating babies? Say what you want, I don't see the left falling for the same sorts of bs. Q? I will continue to pick the best of the available choices. And that is usually not a Republican because they offer no ideas nationally. Locally, I have as recently as last November, voted for a Republican. Because they had an approach to our housing concerns that I liked better. Hyperbole is less interesting to me than policy from the people asking for the privilege of being in office. I would also love term limits. Three in the House and two in the Senate. We don't need career politicians. I would love to eliminate political parties all together. But here we are.
