Democrats should stop antagonizing Republicans. It should now be obvious that at least a plurality of Republicans are not the reactionaries that the left used to believe them to be. (e.g. sheep following religious doctrines or blindsided by the Koch's ideology) Trying to silence them brings us Trump, and that is not good for anyone. People deserve a better representative for their interests, and their concerns should be aired to fellow citizens without distortions.
Sweet fucking Jebsu.
Repubs have pandered to & nurtured the right fringe & radicalized the base while being the masters of false promises for decades. But the evil Libruhls hurt their widdle feelings in calling them on their bullshit which is why they embrace Trump's bullshit because he yells louder.
WTF planet are you from, anyway?

If the Repubs you & Brooks reference are really out there, now is the time to stand up & be heard.
