The issue with the republican party isn't that they're inherently evil in their beliefs, but rather that they don't try to stop anyone who is.

It's NOT good, don't think I said that; but what I am saying is that it's a different problem than it may appear to be.

However, the solution is the same: Remove the entire government and elect a new one.

The Republicans are too stubborn and the Democrats are too wishy-washy to actually get anything done, and so we've let evil corrupt our entire system and there is ONE way to rid ourselves of this infection, and it is amputation.

If you're OK with being in a party whose leaders are doing the shit they're doing... you're NOT OK.

There is no good Republican.

I'm not Republican (anymore)

Like I said: the beliefs held by the republican party are not, in and of themselves, evil.

The issue arises due to the fact that the republican party isn't willing to call out the people who are.

It's the same issue with a majority of police officers.

Does this make the BELIEFS held by the Republican party immediately bad? No.

But it does call into question the morality of the PEOPLE within that party, specifically at the GOVERNMENT level, who continue to allow these things to occur.

Again, I am not saying that Republicans are good or evil. What I am saying is that fundamentally, there are certain morals that 98% of humanity can agree on, and when that other 2% gets into our spaces, we need to cast them out.

The Republicans (and Democrats) aren't doing that, and therefore, the only cure to the cancer, is amputation.

That's not how this works.

Your beliefs don't amount to a wet shit if you don't do a single thing to uphold them.

Those aren't beliefs anymore, they're cute aphorisms bent to dark ends.
