Axios Poll shows Democrats harbor deep bitterness toward Republicans

[BabyBoomer50s]

This does not come as a huge surprise. The Democratic Party is infected with jealousy, anger, and hatred. Help them. They need hugs .

"By the numbers: 5% of Republicans said they wouldn't be friends with someone from the opposite party, compared to 37% of Democrats."

It always takes two to tango.

It always takes two to tango.

Tango.... yes.

But being bitter and hateful, no.

IF you want to ignore the reality revealed by the study though, by all means, wouldn't be the first time.

I don't mind Republicans.

I hate Trumpies.

 

[KeithD]

The Republicans, like the board Trumpettes, have earned all of the derision they receive.

[Rightguide]

They harbor a deep bitterness towards America itself.

 

[ll74]

I appreciate the irony of you using the man who is laughing at a Trumpy.

Yes, there's a distinction...you're a Trumpy.

And yes, that's ascription.

A difference without distinction man.

Not at all there isn't.

What is a "Trumpy" and how is it different from "not a progressive Democrat" ???

No, it's not, you need to learn what ascription is.

^^^^ This.

 

[Sean Renaud]

This study is absolute lunacy at its most basic level. Lets start with the basics. Most of us are only passingly aware of the politics of our friends and know next to nothing about the our employers or the places we shop. The only companies I know off hand have (or logically have) are Chick-Fi-le, In n' Out, and Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby and Chick-Fi-le make sure you know their religion over the years. In n' Out keep it on a relative down low since they only print their religious quotes on the bottom of their beverages. You have to know its there to find it.

I wouldn't work (knowingly) for anybody who is pumping politics specifically by party. If a company wants to push for the LGBT community. Go for it. While I'm less accepting of the traditional family which from my point of view has been destroyed, mosty by accident, by unfettered capitalism. They can keep on keeping on. They aren't hurting a whole lot. But lets face it depending on what company you are talking about the beliefs of the owner might have shit all to do with you. Most McDonalds are franchises. So who ever the CEO of McDees has nothing to do with your specific employer.

My point being these things are somewhere between difficult and impossible to confirm one way or another, and besides some of us have a powerful need to eat, have shelter and even clothing! I know this is totally lost on people of the Right but moving can be expensive and if you are already surviving on minimum or near minimum wage it might not be a realistic option for you at any given time.

It goes on to mention that people won't date people from the other party. If you are the type of person starts asking who did you vote for in 2020 instead of what's your favorite dinosaur or what kind of food do you like I have no clue what to do with you. While I assumed my on and off, bi curious, African American was a lib, I never actually asked her, it didn't matter.

850 college students over a 2 year period? This is a sample we should use to judge the nation on? I mean regardless of if you are a right winger and think college professors are fucking Jedi and can mind control your children into being libtards, or you agree with the Left and that there is an education and knowledge limit to remaining Conservative. Either way this study skews towards libs. Even the so called Republicans on college are probably Rinos. These aren't evolution deniers, they probably don't give much of a shit about the LGBT community as a whole. They may not be all Green but if you have a recycling bin they will likely honor it while in your home not be a douche.

And the libs are the level of dems who don't even want Bill Maher to speak at their campuses. While I do acknowledge that he has gone farther and farther to the right the best way to defeat an enemy is to know them like you know yourself. He's mild enough that he wasn't going to do anything resembling harm. Just show us the play book.

Either way this poll is so openly skewed that I would at best keep this on tap as a resource to show the difference between people who have an education and their prejudices against those who don't.

This is run by jealousy only to the extent that those of us under 45 grew up in a world where people without college degrees could afford to raise a family on a single income. We need to get roomies to afford a two bedroom apartment. We spent our entire lives being told you must go to college from Kintergarden on up and now the people who indoctrinated us are blaming us for being so stupid that we trusted our parents, teachers and community leaders and are buried in college debt amonst other things. None of the people we were taught to trust in the 80s-2000 were encouraging us to become plumbers or car mechanics. If you want to define that as jealousy so be it.

The anger spews not just from that font, but from (especially minorities in that age group) that we have to watch our parents who are almost always more conservative and religious than us vote against LGBT rights. These are people who marched with Dr. King, Huey Newton and Brother Malcolm. They know exactly what it means to be discriminated against and its infuriating to watch people who had dogs and fire hoses turned on them. While most of them aren't public record yet we know the FBI was both watching any members of note in their community but also infiltrating. And we do find it might suss that all three of the men I mentioned ended up very dead.

The anger comes from the fact that the national debt (as it relates to the GDP) had been declining until Reagan screwed it up. So yes, the debt has never technically declined a whole lot BUT if you make 12k a year and you're 2k in debt, that's a big deal. If you make 60k (The median Average for Americans give or take) 2k is less money than you spend on whatever your hobbies or fun times are each year.

There is hatred for those who mean us harm, who are bigoted, for those who knowingly vote against their own self interests. Those who want to keep the various wars going that don't benefit us and aren't really improving the lives of the locals either. I do have a serious problem with people who think that our entitlements need cutting when we could shave a tiny portion from the military and pay to things that would directly and indirectly benefit most if not all Americans.

Its hard not to be angry and hateful towards people who want walls, Fully funded ICE and a several other deplorable actions. A good one would be this whole
"They will not replace us" that is primarily aimed at Jews as if they had a chance of doing it but applies to everybody. Its amazing when roughly 70% of Americans are white and they are terrified than in a few decades they will be a plurality not a majority. Which simply means if EVERY SINGLE Minority by race and religion voted one way and EVERY SINGLE white Christian voted one way whites would lose. But that requires both sides being so partisan that nobody breaks rank. No blacks are rich and religious and thus break ranks. No whites have gay friends and want to see them treated with respect. I could carry on but the OP and the rest of the righties here aren't idiots. They are evil.

Also plenty of us don't particularly like to be touched. Hug me, especially from behind without warning and you only have yourself to blame if you catch an elbow to the gut. I'm not shaking your hand if a fist bump will get me by and better yet a respectful nod.

I guess I'll risk double posting. None of your seem interested in the article. Bobo is pretending that you can't tell the differences in the philosophies of the Bush family as a whole, the Pauls (Ryan is not a Paul you uncultured swine!) and whatever the hell Trump actually is. I mean Hillary was called Killary because she was gonna kick off WW3 if elected. Now Joe is weak for not being more aggressive? Please make it make sense.

Lets talk about Executive Orders since that was a huge deal. Trump in four years was only fifty something short of Obama in eight. Obama was the lowest (depending on how you care to measure) since at least George H.W Bush. Its difficult to accurately gauge these things based solely on numbers since MOST EOs call under minor tweaks to a law. Stuff where if you follow the letter of the law Friday is a week night and you need to keep the noise down and Sunday is a Weekend night you can keep the music banging until its time to go to work. You knew what the legislators MEANT. Plus how do you judge Trump and Bush sr (one term thus far, but with all the dead people voting we shouldn't count either of these men out for a second term. The Constitution doesn't specify that a candidate has to be alive.) against two termers like Bush jr, Barrack and Clinton? Maybe Trump would have chilled out in his second term. Maybe he dies in the next three. He doesn't strike me as the paragon of health. (I wish him no harm but once you are past 75 I'm only so upset if you die. Well unless you die between 97 and 99. It sucks to be close to a century old and fall short of the goal.

I don't mind Republicans.

I remember when there was a difference.

Get yourself and your whole worthless lot out of my beloved country.

Not that I'm bitter or anything . . .

 

[ll74]

There's a difference.

 

[Lazaran]

There's a difference.

Yeah, there's a difference. The actual corporate republicans are using the common "Trumpies" to maintain the American oligarchy status quo.

SAD!!!

What are they going to do, then, when Trump passes away?

Did Christians disappear when Christ died???

The cult of Trump is going to be exploited by the ultrawealthy for a looooong time.

Long after their Orange God is dead and gone.

SAD!!!

The image of Trump rising from the grave . . . is not so much different from how he is now, actually.

I'm not the one pretending not to recognize any difference.

That would be you leftist who call anyone who disagrees with you a Trumpster/Trumpie/TRumpian Nazi! or any of the other bullshit you fuckwits come up with out of bitterness and TDS induced rage.

This study is absolute lunacy at its most basic level. Lets start with the basics.

Not at all, it's widely demonstrated on a regular basis.

It's just confirming what everyone but radical "hate everyone outside the tribe" leftist already knew.... the most venomous and vile people in the USA are found on college campuses and they are young "progressive" leftist.

But Axios is fake news! You guys will never get it together.

Yes you are, and no we don't call anybody who disagrees with us a Trump anything. That's just your imagination, running away with you.

No, the most educated people are found on college campuses. The most hatefilled live in the red states.

 

[GothTalk]

Yes you are ​and no we don't call anybody who disagrees with us a Trump anything. That's just your imagination, running away with you.

You trying to lie to yourself???

Because you're not lying to me.

No I'm not, and yes the left does, it's been demonstrated all over this board and at large for the last several years.

No, the most educated people are found on college campuses.

So are the most hateful and ignorant.

The most hatefilled live in the red states.

Then why is nearly all the hate crimes, racist cops and rioting/destruction of American communities, especially those of color, almost always happing in blue shit holes???

More "WAR IS PEACE!!! IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH!!!" .

You know just repeating the opposite of objective reality all the time doesn't actually make it so right??
