Being a republican means you never have to admit you're wrong. You just live in a whole other universe where chemtrails turn the frogs gay, and Trump is an innocent, Christ-like patriot.

Dude that's a generalization and is just not true.

While it is a generalization, it accurately covers the majority of Republicans who have been vocal online over the last few years.

As far as I'm concerned each side has been just as annoying and incorrect as the other. Have you seen some of the stupid and objectively false things people say? It's not just conservatives.

One side wants to advance and protect human rights, and the other side wants to ensure some people never have those rights. While there are boneheads on both sides, the core arguments aren't same-same-but-different. And there seem to be way more people on the far right who are coal and in greater numbers than there are radical leftists.
