    I feel like the thing GOP and conservatives fail to really understand is that those liberals of us don’t hate this country when we protest. We want this country to get better. We see unfairness and we want to fix it. We see corruption and want to eliminate it. We as a country get better if we look at all angles to problems and hear all voices.

    GOP just wants to hear only the voice of their Orange God.

      I think they understand but do not agree. Their vision of making the country better is just different, so much so that liberals are unable understand it IS actually what someone could want. They do want to live in a nationalistic distopia.

        That kind of thinking sees no progress as a society. I get it. There are people who don’t want anything to change…. But that’s a horribly limited vision.

        The 1950s were not better in every way. In fact, the only thing I see that was better was income inequality, and that’s the only thing the GOP is actively trying to not fix.

      Conservatives see unfairness as part of the hierarchy. It’s a feature, not a bug. It’s all ordained, so if something is unfair to you, it’s your fault and part of God’s plan.
