Legit asking because given what they stand for I can't understand why anyone sane would vote for Republicans ever unless out of sheer hatred for others or ignorance

I mean... possibly. It would take a lot of ignorance though, so it might weaken the impact.

If you're extremely ignorant and then feel immediate shame and renounce support when presented with the facts then you could still theoretically be good. If you know what they are and support them, then no.

You'd know that if you didn't get all your information from twitter lunatics who think politics molds who you are as a person.

Nope.

Support of any right wing group, whatever county you are from means you almost certainly actively support the removal of rights from everyone but rich men, or 'at best' are fine with it.

You may not support the terror these politicians want but you are fine with putting them in power to do it regardless.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is spitting on your face and telling you it's raining. Or want the terror being inflicted.

Do not listen to anyone telling you otherwise.

No. People need to stop this shit. Politics isn't some reality show on a separate plane of existence we're all watching. If you "politically" want to exterminate LGBTQ+ people, you want to exterminate LGBTQ+ people. If you "politically" want to stop people who disagree with you from having a voice, you want people who disagree with people to stop having a voice. If you "politically" value your guns more than the lives of children, you value your guns more than the lives of children. I could go on. Fuck the idea that "politics" is a shield for having shitty morals.

Dont respond to Vy on anything regarding politics.

She likes trolling in support of those who want her rights stripped or just want her dead for some reason. I guess I just dont get comedy?

Yes, but that goes to both sides. If you actively support any political party or politician knowing that they are doing corrupt or bad things, then you're a shitty person.

Personally I don't support anybody or any party. I don't vote, don't care.

Fuck the idea that "politics" is a shield for having shitty morals.

The issue is, there is no such thing as "shitty morals." At least not in a universal sense. Morals in general are subjective, so how "shitty" or not they are is entirely dependent on the viewer viewing them. What you consider "good morals" may be considered "shitty morals" by someone else (and vice versa). That's why preaching morals is pointless. All it is doing is saying "Your morals must match mine." But when every single person is "saying" that same thing, then at best, it does nothing... At worst, it forms "teams" and "tribes" where you have common morals that then war with other teams and tribes of differing common morals. Both teams/tribes have morals and both sets of morals are equally "shitty" and "good" in terms of any inherent/universal nature, but those difference in morals will lead to conflict and struggle ad nauseum until the end of time.

I'd love an explanation on how the current Republican party are "good", even subjectively. Please explain how their treatment of women, minorities, and LGBT+ people is somehow good and not awful and inhumane.

There's plenty of evidence that morality is a result of evolution. A species that helps each other will get much farther than one that doesn't. Homosexuality exists in thousands of vertebrate species but homophobia only exists in one.
