The Republican dynamic is easily seen in the comments section of Huffpost. Leave an intolerant, bigoted and downright silly comments and see how many “faves” you get. Say something like “deport” or “no amnesty” or “illegals” and Republicans will not even read your post further, but fave it.
It is High School clique mentality. They think they will win the election because they all think alike and will jump to the aid of anyone who wears their colors, says their words, or spreads their misinformation.
But is exclusion and derisiveness and insults and lying stronger than facing a problem and looking for a solution? I guess we will see. But my point is they do stick together using the same illogical terminology and inaccurate insults. Kind of like fascism, don’t you think?
