Continuing to differentiate between Team Red and Team Blue is a fool's errand. Neither of them are Team You if you're a straight White person who wants your posterity to inherit an America that wouldn't horrify the Founding Fathers at first sight.
The fact that this is a top story tells you how entrenched in a fake and gay landscape we remain.

I mean, you may have a point, in that it is hard to have a strong reaction to yet another young Trump fan club being nothing but trite psycho incels - after all, what else would one expect? Especially when the actual government itself has dropped the mask so utterly.
But then, I cannot help but find your wording suspicion - your definition of “human” would not happen to be rather narrower than conventionelly accepted, wouldn’t it?
if you're a straight White person who wants your posterity to inherit an America that wouldn't horrify the Founding Fathers at first sight.
Even if we ignore the problems with your founders specifically, if your chief worry about the world you leave behind to future generations is “would it culture shock people who even now have been out of the loop for the most transformative two hundred years of history?”, your priorities suck.
(Also, there is many a posterity of a straight White person who your ideology expressly wants to exclude from inheriting America…)

The Founding Fathers of KingPeenHater’s version of history, that is.
The ones who, to a man, were Bible Literalist Christians.
Who founded what they thought of as a Biblical country: one where The People = straight white men, everyone else being parts of The People’s property,
to do whatever they want with.
TLDR what you mean to say is that Republican Party are not Neo-Nazi and openly white supremacist enough for you and purity testing your movement into extinction in the process
but hey not going to stop you since that means you ensure you never get any notion of power so continue with this pointless virtue signaling bullshit you are doing.
This was a private chat among hardcore Republicans, with several months of the chat I would expect some rude jokes and insulting Democrats. Admiring Hitler, talking about sending their political opponents to death and such is still outrageous.
It’s not JUST that they admire Hitler, or at least express that, or that they want opponents dead without the bother of a trial, or the total lack of respect for black, women, other minorities, science…
But this party has marked out their territory. The ‘party of law’ wants death squads and star chambers. The party that supports the military wants the fascism so many of us died to fight. The party of personal responsibility is covering for pedophiles and accusing their accusers of doing their job.
And that’s outrageous… Not a surprise anymore, but an outrage.
Every time I see "KeepNHGranite", I assume that's the composition of their brains.

Howdy, neighbor! I'm just down the road from you in Fairfax VA.
As a white straight male I liked my home area of MoCo in Maryland, suburbs of DC. Very diverse and multicultural. While expensive it was low crime rate. And high quality schools. That's the America I grew up in. Oh and GenX. 11 Aug 79. So I'm not some tiktok teen parroting my teachers and parents. I'm 46
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
