Are conservatives nowadays born assholes?

Just saw a dandy remark from a RWNJ regarding the Supreme Court:

"Next up is (Justice Ruth Bader) Ginsburg, aka the wicked witch of the west - she's 84 and her health has been fading fast. She foolishly refused to retire under Obama, whether out of pride or the mistaken impression he'd be followed by another Democrat - doesn't matter as one way or another her health is going to remove her soon."

BTW, this same guy quoted Ann Coulter in Breitbart blaming immigrants for mass shootings.

There is not a single conservative policy that is NOT poisonous or deadly. Their extinction would be a plus for the planet. Look at what they want. Misery, suffering and death unless you are one of the chosen few.

It's just that Trump is legitimating overt hatred and bad behavior. But those elements were always there on the right, and everyone on the right has to answer for them.

Loved this thread:

I happen to think the same way.

Beauty is only skin deep but hate and willful ignorance go right to the bone.

Their message is racist, sexist, anti-human rights. There is no warmth, no kindness, no love, just reactionary bitterness and glee at the suffering of others.

They start marinating in Fox News, guns, religion, and bigotry at home and at school at a very young age and many never escape the slime.
