Reality Shattered

Some Republicans are good at deceiving others into thinking they're good people.

I live in a red state. None of them are good people. If they were, they wouldn't align with a party of hate.

If you vote republican, you're not a good person, and never have been since the party flip-flop. They've always been the party trying to suppress the rights of anyone who isn't a rich white male.

And now they're literally traitors trying to overthrow our government.

Are you saying "some republican voters are good people" or "some republican politicians are good people"?

For the first one, that's probably true but irrelevant. I think most republican voters are trying to do good with their vote, but they've got so caught up in Republican fascism that they honestly think voting red is good.

For the second one, I highly doubt it. They don't have the cult behavior excuse, so at best, they're completely selfish, enough to put their job security over the lives of others.

"I'm a good person. I just don't believe that kids should get food from the govt. So what if some kids are a little hungry. Their parents need to work harder"

Are the nice Republicans in the room with us?

And some Catholics don't rape children. But they enable those who do.

If you support violent extremists that try to install a dictatorship you're not a good person.

Well this is just anectodotal you guys, but my mom is a Republican

And totally not a good person.

Everybody else is shooting you down here, But I'll meet you in the middle with an even harder to swallow pill.

There are Republicans who AREN'T BAD people, they are just ignorant. Not stupid, necessarily, but ignorant and uneducated. They might think they're doing good but they are very very wrong.

Some republicans think they are good people. There, fixed it for ya

You taking about the elected officials, or the voters? You'll have a much harder time finding politicians who are legitimately good people, let alone republicans.

Well they sure do a good job of hiding it

Every "good person" I know of every political strip is horrifically cruel and violent towards intelligent creatures many times a day. Absolutely needlessly. And they deal with this by simply not thinking about it.

"We're good people, we just vote for politicians openly calling for violence and retribution upon all their political enemies and fellow Americans, and vote to make people different from us illegal, and vote to strip every safety net to pass directly to the 1%, and vote to protect our God given right to clear an elementary school in 20 minutes with an AR, etc etc etc"

very few*

Only if they don't vote for #fascists.

some republicans are good people in the same way some cops are good cops.

... ARAC

The good ones are usually very misguided people, oblivious to what they are really up to in my experience.

How can something so vague and superfluous be reality shattering?

Yeah but they are stupid. Its the same in my country. People are simply sheep so they vote for the person who they see the most in ads and thats the guy who distroyed our economy and does racist and homophobic stuff...

It's hilariously ridiculous to know that those who downvoted this post can not accept such a simple reality.

Every person who think that their vote (in a representative democracy) matters, is a victim of the illusion of universal participation in the use of institutional coercion, that is, the state.

However, what makes the state different from other coercive entities, such as organized crime groups, is that it enjoys some form of popular legitimacy. In other words, in addition to enslaving its inhabitants physically, it needs to secure their mental servitude as well.
