1. Exactly that Cher

This group in charge are more extreme than people imagine. The Proud Boys are their true self. And they are working towards an America where they can purge the population of undesirables. That is 100% their goal.

Look at how the Republican Party now embraces Rep. Steve King, a proud White Supremacists.

The GOP wants to kill LBGTs. Simple as that. If they aren’t stopped people will have to live their lives in secret for fear of death.

2. Red meat for the rubes.

The only way the GOP retains any kind of power is to play into people's bigotry and hatred. Despite the set-backs over the past few years, I think we've come a long way. Trump and the current crew of reactionaries in power are going to go by the wayside. Their views are quickly becoming obsolete. What we have to keep in mind is that all the damage being done by the current administration is reversible.

I do believe that as far as social issues go, America will right itself.

3. Straight out of the demagogue playbook

It's the defining feature of tin-pots the world over and is exactly what propelled Hitler to power. When you get the rubes to focus on their hate, they easily forget how their pockets are being picked.

4. Cher: Not only am I *NOT* going anywhere...

If any rethuglican or their contracted ilk try to take me to any kind of a reeducation center, they'll get the same surgery I had. And a quick note for those daring about-to-be wimmens: I do not have anesthesia facilities, so you girls will just have to "rough it".

Remember what Captain America said:
"If you die, walk it off."

5. Trump, making another group second-class citizens

[Totally Tunsie]

6. We cannot tolerate HE who has no tolerance.

This man (?) is a racist, homophobic, misogynistic monster.

7. I suspect as soon as a transgender person said "boo" a lot of righties would

run away screaming.

They are at heart profoundly cowardly and lazy as well as cruel.

They dislike those who are different partly because it would require some effort to get to know and get along with them, which they can't be bothered to do.
