    The political reality in ND is that having the (D) is the end of the road for you. Since neither party actually represents a specific policy platform, I guess it’s 6 of 1 in an environment like that.

    After all, what are modern Republicans even about? Obviously they want to deny global warming, police uteruses, kill queer people, theocratize the government… but what policies do they actually care about that aren’t equally present in the Democratic caucus?

      Cruelty. You can run circles around pretty much any issue pointing out examples of their hypocrisy and inconsistency, but they’re pretty reliable with harming their community.

      Once you acknowledge that the cruelty is the point, their bullshit starts to make a lot more sense.
