Democrats don't necessarily choose their candidates based on their group identity, as you claim. Kamala Harris lost because she was not a good candidate. The people of either party choose the candidates that they connect best with and seem ready for the job. If the gay guy is the one, the Democrats will choose him. According to my reckonings though, they won't.
YOUR party is the one that chooses candidates based on group identity. That's what social conservatives such as you Republican voters DO. Only white guys are allowed.
Nope. I'm not attracted to scum or borderline scum. I'm sure that your not picky about scum as long as the scum is on your side. I'm not picky about scum either as long as the scum left on our side are willing to cross over and f--- up your side. Hell, if the scum does a good job they can live and keep the spoils.
Convincing evidence suggests that right-wing authoritarians like you are far more likely to accept as leaders rogues who tell you exactly what you want to hear. And, yes, you area right-wing authoritarian, as shown in your assumption that someone who fails to believe as you do is truly American. I may despise such scum as David DuKKKe or Frazier Glenn Miller, but I recognize both as American. Evil can be American, just as it can be... Norwegian (Vidkun Quisling, Anders Breivik).
Your side voted for a man who has divorced twice to get younger wives. Your side voted for a serial bankrupt who has burned business associates. Your side tolerated someone who mocks the handicapped and other unfortunate people -- evidence of low maturity. (I was told while in early elementary school to respect the disabled veteran; I too might end up a soldier who loses a limb in combat or gets PTSD in service to my country). Your side voted for a chicken-hawk, a draft-dodger who subsequently became a warmonger. Your side voted for someone who encouraged a dictatorial regime to get dirt on an opponent.
Oh, so it isn't the old Soviet Union? The Russian Mafia, to which our President has ties, is far more dangerous than the KGB. Get this clear about me: I may be a liberal, but I hate criminality of any kind. We liberals abandoned Harvey Weinstein, once a loud supporter of liberal causes and a huge provider of funds. He since showed himself as a sexual predator,and we liberals abandoned him.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
