Why do people hate republicans?

[Conserative Morality]

My nation?

Which doesn't include black people, right?

[Othelos]

Because of their ideology- it has always appeared to me, and to almost everyone, as reactionary to the extreme, xenophobic, fear mongering, sometimes even racist, and baldly in support of their own particular interests (they don't bother to hide, like the democrats, who they are bought by in their legislation).

Yeah, conservatism in America has become pretty reactionary, and fueled by hysteria.

[The Cobalt Sky]

My nation?

Which doesn't include black people, right?

I was wondering when someone would finally tell him...

[Anglo-California]

My nation?

Which doesn't include black people, right?

And?

[Nationes Pii Redivivi]

Which doesn't include black people, right?

And?

Yellow people, brown people,
red people, blue people.

[Timsvill]

I don't hate anyone. Hate is a very strong word.

However, I strongly dislike what Republicans stand for. Their fundamentalist attitude makes the other numerous Christians who are reasonable and tolerant (I am one of them) look bad.

As am I, Orson. I'm also a reasonable and tolerant Christian, but I'm also a bony. So I'm tolerant anyways.

[Conscentia]

Plenty of reasons, pick & mix...
Gerrymandering, spreading lies about Obama, the tea party, magnet for creationists, bad policies, etc.

[Planita]

And?

Yellow people, brown people,
red people, blue people.

people that have a hue on their skin

[The Cold Place]

Because I know people who still think that Obama was born in Kenya...in 2014.
Because I have never meet a republican who thinks global warming is real.
Because of Glenn Beck.
Because of the extended coverage of the 2012 Benghazi attacks in congress and on Fox.
Because of the lack of coverage of all the other embassy attacks after that one.
Because of Fox and Friends. Seriously.
Because of how much of a shill Strossel became.
Because of Fox News.
Because of the endless conspiracy theories.
Because of home schooling
Because of rolling coal
Because of failed economic policies.
Because of the hatred of any environmental policy.
Because of the hatred of government organizations
Because of the AstroTurfed tea party.
Because of state level republican politics
Because of local level republican politics
Because of their ability to turn religious leaders into coal apologists
Because of their willingness to cut welfare programs to build overpriced fighter aircraft.
And the list continues.

[The Cold Place]

I also think that hate is a bit of a strong word.

Disdain is the correct word.

For example some republicans were half decent, like how Nixion created the EPA by executive order, and how he wanted to completely ban pistols, and how he "cut and run" on the Vietnam war. It got really bad around the time of Reagan, especially after he nixed Goldwater's advice to kick Falwell in the nether regions.

For the last 30 years republicans have only learned to suck up to oil companies, and how to deregulate industries.
Hope you enjoy e coli in your beef; because every time you taste it, you should think of Reagan.

[Superpower]

I don't like both parties in the United States Congress cause they both do not allow smaller parties in the United States Congress who also want to help the nation.

[Boomhaueristan]

I don't like either party, though I do lean slightly right.

Need a bigger Congress.

[Rashidunia (Ancient)]

No one but die-hard monarchists and assorted other reactionaries really hate republicans these days. In fact, almost everyone in most democratic countries is a republican. Its Republicans, with a capital R denoting membership of the US Republican Party, who make people's stomachs churn.

[Greed and Death]

I'm a republican, most people here on nation states don't like my kind. I'm from Texas, that sets off a signal for democrats here on NS too start too hate me. I don't know why.

So the question is simple. Why do you democrats hate republicans. I want too see it from a democrats point of view. Why do you hate republicans? What do you not like about them. I just want too know. Tell me in a civilized way. I don't want too see this "BECAUSE YOU REPUBLICANS ARE STUPID, DUMB ASS PEOPLE WHO HATE THE NATURE!". Nothing like that. So in a civilized way, democrats of nation states! Tell me why you hate the republicans! Or dislike us republicans!

The democrats hate the republicans because the democrats prefer direct democracy over representative democracy.

That is directly and blatantly untrue; it is not true in any sense of the word. Can you possibly provide a citation for it?

[Southern Hampshire]

Need a bigger Congress.

No no no no no no no no NO!

We're talking about the American conservative party called the Republican Party, not republicanism in general. Though that should've been made more apparent, I think, in the title.

[New Stinkonia]

Because they wrecked the country with their Reaganomics snake oil.

[Southern Hampshire]

Because I know people who still think that Obama was born in Kenya...in 2014.

Religious: Give me proof that God DOESN'T exist!
Liberals: Give me proof that God DOES exist!

Liberals: Give me proof that Obama DOESN'T come from America!
Conservatives: Give me proof that Obama DOES come from America!

Something uncanny. Hard-line Liberals have such double standards.

You are comparing the existence of God to Barack Obama's origins?

Wow, he is so important nowadays, isn't he? He is on par with God.

I am comparing a principle to a principle.

I can equally compare Obama to an idiot, same thing.

[Olerand]

I am comparing a principle to a principle.

I can equally compare Obama to an idiot, same thing.

But the principle, the preposition, the premise, and everything else are not logically similar or comparable.

That is why I thought you were comparing him to God.
