"Guys, I am so shocked and offended and hurt that I would be called racial and homophobic slurs while speaking at the racist, homophobic convention. I thought being a Republican would make me one of the good ones to them! why isnt it making me one of the good ones to them!"
There's a party for economically conservative non-bigots, and it's called the Democratic Party.
Not possible.
To be a Republican you have to fundamentally hate America, and be extreme in thought.
its always been the case.
They used to just make effort to hide it from Cameras and public.
The only difference now is they dropped all pretense about it after Obama's election and they lost their mind over losing to a black man.
You can no more turn the Republican party into a good, for the people party, than you can turn the KKK or Proud Boys into a civics organization that helps low income communities of color.
Take away their bigotry and they have nothing else in common.
