Why would they stop? That's been the most effective attack they've had in a long time! Especially because it's true, and I think the Republicans know it on some level.

i was alive an active during the reagan years and i think this one's worse because the bad stuff that didn't come from the top in that period originated from a place of genuine ignorance. the internet makes genuine ignorance impossible so now all the bad stuff comes from a place of intention through willful ignorance and it think that's worse.

afterall believing that a group show be looked down upon because that how you're taught to be behave is one thing and fixable with a little bit of knowledge; but believing that those people should be denigrated because they deserve it is both an entirely different scenario and also unfixable w/o them letting you into their psyche.
