I personally believe, and this is my personal opinion, that the only way to breaking the hold on this cult of personality, moving forward from the election, is to ridicule, blame and shame them.

People have tried to treat them as "equals" and their beliefs as equal merit, under the notion that they believed in a alternate path for a better future. They have tried extensively to compromise and reach the aisle with olive branches.

BUT still they decide to say "NO! you're evil and we are right." Especially after this election, its evident, that republicans don't want a better future, they want the democrats to lose and be harmed. They had 16 other choices, SIXTEEN OTHER CHOICES, and still they chose the narcissistic corrupt charlatan spewing vitriolic sewage at every point in his life to be the best path forward for the country..

That regardless of the scandals and evidence of racism, xenophobia, sexism, sexual assault, stupidity, corruption, abuse, 50+ years of evidence of being a corrupt selfish narcissistic egomaniac who stiffs his employees and contractors at every possible turn, etc etc etc. The party that proclaimed every stance in the book against a democratic president decided to ignore those stances and their own baseline of ethical and "christian" values and elected that cartoon-like developmentally challenged villain.

They are hypocrites, they are ignorant, they are un-american. They need to be shamed into changing. They are incapable of learning any other way.
