Do you know what members of the Democratic Party pretty much never do? [View all]

1) Issue death threats to people who are on the other side of the political spectrum, regardless of the amount of disdain they hold for those people.

2) Threaten the families of those on the other side.

3) Plaster their homes and trucks with flags and stickers of their party leader, ESPECIALLY when it is not election season.

4) Shoot their mouths off, at every conceivable social gathering, making sure that the entire room knows their political affiliation.

5) Take whatever their party leader says on blind faith.

6) Look at something that is put in front of them on Facebook or Twitter, and immediately accept it as the truth. This one bothers me the most. Somebody sitting in their home makes one of those Facebook memes, and that counts as "research".

Feel free to add your own observations.

I'm so fucking sick of these people, and I'm not looking forward to 2024.
