Democratic lawmakers have faced eruptions of anger at town hall meetings across the country this week, as constituents have coupled their fury over President Donald Trump’s actions with deep frustration over what they see as a feckless Democratic response.

    I was thinking the other day, wondering, "What % of legal - born and raised - Americans seeth with hatred for the United States, and would actively hurt America, anyway they can. What % and what political stance they have, and of course, it’s the democratic party.

    Lemme rephrase… Simply, if you’re American, but you also hate America and are politically active. 98%, you’re a democrat.

    What one focus on in life will become a bigger part of one’s life. The left needs to ditch the hate. I’ll come back when “democrat” isn’t synonymous with hate.

      Being critical of the government vs oppressing criticism by calling it hate

      Yeah I think I know what side I’m on

        No, it’s not oppression, it’s calling an apple an apple. Democrats don’t usually mind expressing their hateful views about America. They are quite vocal about how they hate America.

      Hey champ, here’s a tip; instead of writing, “lemme rephrase,” halfway through your comment, you can just delete the portion that’s poorly phrased! That way, instead of having to read (what I’ll generously call) a paragraph of word salad, people can start at the part that’s (again, generously) coherent! Also, you might want to look up, “what does a hyphen do,” or, “when to use commas vs. periods,” because you write like an AI that was trained exclusively by ESL students and stroke victims.

      The GOP cosplay as patriots to confuse small minded fools that striving for a better life is un-American. As if our founding fathers weren’t looking for a better life.

      You’re looking at the map upside down.

      Bigotry is so insidious in America that when you call it out for the poison that it is, bigots call you anti-American.

      You should try and figure out why you believe this. Clearly people here don’t agree, and it doesn’t ring true to me either. How many people do you actually know who seethe with hatred for the US?
