The fact thay the republicans are always on the losing side of history on purpose kinda shows that they’re not really a legitimate party that actually works for the people. They shouldn’t even be in the discussion but they lie, cheat, and steal their way to more power than they deserve. Conservatives will complain because they’ve been shown, however wrongly, that they have a lot of support which feeds into a cycle that eventually ends up where we are today where the far right is gaining huge amounts of power in places it doesn’t deserve and plants itself down as legitimate enough that they keep pulling in fools to elect their own doom.

Basically what I’m saying is too fucking bad for them, reality’s a bitch when you’re evil and/or stupid but that’s just too fucking bad for them. And if they want to threaten or intimidate people that’s called domestic terrorism. Boo-fucking-hoo.
