Can you name one positive thing about a RWinger and still hate the GOP?

Posted at the request of another duer who can't post pools. If you want to add details, please do so.

I think it is possible to name 1 positive about a rwinger and think the GOP is awful. I've a rw friend who has been very generous and watchful to help me be safe.

that Georgie is a 'good eater,' so I guess that could be construed as a positive thing...although it's a compliment usually bestowed upon toddlers.

whether I can name one positive thing about the subject or not.

If not, then the positive thing is that I can be successful in my effort not to hate.

Hate is destructive to the hater.

That said, "not hating" does not mean liking, nor does it mean approving of, supporting, etc..

I can agree with a RWinger on something without supporting the GOP.

A quick self-search tells me that I can agree with the right wing about individualism...without abandoning my own collectivism.
