It makes all the difference WHAT we disagree on. Want to discuss what the tax rate should be? Fine. Want to discuss how we should use our military? Ok.

But, I'm not discussing if women should have agency over their body. I'm not discussing if we should elect criminals. I'm not discussing if queer people should be treated equally. I'm not discussing if Nazis are good people. Get fucked hard. These issues are not up for debate. And it's the reason calling yourselves a republican makes me immediately think of you as an asshole.

Maybe in the past you could hide behind small government bullshit but since Trump, the mask has come off.
