How would I tell the difference between a Democrat and a Republican? So I know who to avoid. I have wanted to ask this question for about six to seven years, but didn't know who to ask. I'm Canadian and vacationed and shopped in the United States quite often, pre covid D and thought Americans were generally helpful, friendly, and caring people. They're more Democrats than Republicans in the usa, but Republicans are heartless and anti everyone that is not a mirror image. Republicans support liars, hypocrites, hateful and prejudice, homophobes, racist, cultus, extremists, religious allots, frauds, vengeful fascists, and will do anything to control other people as long as they themselves benefit, usually in the form of money, property, or power. Republicans love and exalt money and power mirror image of Trump. I will never again vacation in Florida, Texas, Alabama, or any other red state. Um, very long question.

I know you said you actually cut it down from what you originally had, but, uh, it's a good question, but it's not just how do I avoid Republicans? There's good Republicans in this country. There's plenty of them. There's most of that. Like, I'm gonna go on a, a, a, you know, put myself out there and say, probably, probably most of the Republicans in this country, the people just walking around with that little r on their voter ID card, they're decent people. They're not the kind of people that are out there holding the signs, you know, uh, uh, uh, trying to take control of women's bodies. They're just people who say, Hey, I kind of want the government to be small, and, uh, I like tax cuts. I get it, you're wrong, but I get it. Like that doesn't make you a bad person. Now, the things that Chris has described here in his questions, hell yeah, those are bad people, and there are far too many of them.

And those people should in fact, be avoided. Luckily, those people kind of let us know who they are, you know, it's not a big mystery when you see 'em driving around, as I frequently do down here in the south, uh, with the big rebel flags on the back of their trucks, or at least the rebel flags stickers. That's kind of a good warning sign. You know, it's like a brightly colored snake and, you know, like, Hey, you're supposed to stay away from that. That's why it has those bright colors to warn you off. That's what that is. But I, but I don't think, you know, we really can paint every single Republican into a corner like that. I know I've done it, and I apologize for that, especially because I, I know I'll do it again, but most republicans actually support progressive ideas and progressive policies.

They do not support culture, war, nonsense. But the ones that do, once you start dabbling into that bigotry, into the racism, into the hatred of everything and everyone, those are the people that you should try to avoid. But how do you identify them? You don't. You really can't. And, and, and I think it's also also kind of dangerous to think like, oh, should we, should we be identifying these people? No, it starts with identification and I'm just gonna leave it at that, right? That's the dangerous part when we have to start identifying labeling and, you know, pointing out who is good and who is bad Uhuh that never, ever, ever ends well for a society.
