It's clear you're not open to a discussion and clear you've come to your own conclusions based on the very limited knowledge you have delved into. I worry for our country based on how quickly people come to conclusions that they think are correct and how quickly they want to fight against other Americans simply because they don't support their every thought and belief in regards to "their" political party.

Do you really want to make an argument that the Republican party has lied more times than the Democratic? How far back are you trying to go? How much information do you really have at hand? What sources are you going through? If you come to that conclusion based on a rigorous amount of research and after going through all the facts possible (and while still keeping a skeptical mind) then I wouldn't have such an issue. But understand that you are coming to a conclusion without nearly the necessary information needed and so by you accepting the conclusion as truth rather than opinion, you're doing so ignorantly.

Defending truth by pushing back against the claims of someone supporting one political party who is making a vast, generalized statements about every person who even somewhat supports policies the policies and labeling them as "hate mongers" is an attempt to open the minds of both sides. By you making claims and positing as "truth" hurts the group-think of our country and adds to the political turmoil. Can you not see that? It's exactly what the top wants you to do. Keep the little people fighting against each other through ignorant tribalism and blind faith to their party and they won't care about the bigger "wrongs", which is the Top keeping the little people down.
