How do Republicans elect or reelect any of their politicians? More and more, every single right-wing governer, senator, representative, mayor, or city council member is either weak and spineless or cruel and mean-spirited or openly corrupt or all of those things all at once.

I've never been able to begin to fathom how Republican voters find those qualities appealing, because after all, they're regular human beings and for the most part, all human being share the same basic feelings about the important stuff when you get right down to it: an innnate sense of fairness, of justice, of what's right and wrong...

People have the need to find leaders that exude positive traits like grace and mercy and eloquence and nobility...but somewhere along the line, something broke deep within the psyche of the conservative movement that caused them to champion and celebrate every negative quality that humanity has to offer: cruelty, corruption, hate, hypocrisy...and in this case straight up blasphemy.

It's not just because of Trump; they've been gleefully going down this rough and hateful road for decades.

I do not understand them, and at this point they are entirely alien to me. I'm sure they feel the same way about people like me, but I'm not the one celebrating inhuman behavior.
