democrats versus republicans in usa hatred,

why do democrats and republicans in usa hate each other so much, inuk we have three major parties, but we dont hate each other, if somebody says they vote conservative i dont start a hate filled tirade, its a free country, people can vote how ever they want, but in usa its different i regularly see hatred shown by both sides, screaming videos, when actually both usa parties are two sides to the same coin, in uk we have conservative and labour/socialist, and labour is going to win the next election for sure, so why?

Don’t get it twisted…democrats and true republicans can still get along just fine. It’s MAGA people that have hateful hearts…willingly burning down the founding principles of the country just to “own the libs”. I don’t hate them, but I do fear them and the mob mentality they bring.

@BohemianBoo Germans are industrious, thrifty, and organized. They are similar to the Chinese. Germans in the west, Chinese in the east. The best of both worlds.
@sree251 Also true. Still has nothing to do with my point, but ok.

@sree251

@sree251You began by asking what I know. Ask a question that requires a library to answer you're going to get a reply that requires more than a 100 Q level mind to read. No guarantee you'll understand but I'm willing to give it a shot.

Only because you gave clear a sight into how little it is that you have been allowed to know, and the fact that half the blood running through my veins came from the ground that later became Germany.

I suggest that you stop standing on a shovel while pretending to pray for a hole and start digging. Bergs and Kaisers, be by castle or ditch only answer to one God.

Some Germans are starting to behave like pagans again. They should know better.

My suggestion is that you begin somewhere before the Ottoman empire became so degraded due to Luther's mistaken belief that (in paraphrasing) "we should be grateful that they kill us and send us directly to God's heaven" - and these nordics became so degraded that they took it away from Christendom, forced a battle that saved the remnant while the lagging " champion of the faith " prayed, so that some of us White, Judeo Christian Semites could survive and build what you think is a cozy world preserved by "hard working industrious but obedient Gurminz."

Not that I'm a huge fan of the Anglocans, catlicks, or any other orthodoxy.

I'm just a non purebred sort. To me the old lion's mane and eagle feathers didn't get put to proper use until a few polocks got around to forming the Hueys.

You know what those were. Don't chyia? One of dem dair wuz won a my top Gee's.
(I figure it was about time to say it's brains that rule the world. Not blonder hair or bluer eyes.

During Ronald Reagan's tenure as President and before him being elected the first time, the Republicans started to air "hate ads" on TV, this was the beginning of the abject hatred between the parties. It has gotten a lot worse since tRump and his MAGA movement and even on both sides to a certain extent. There are still people in Government who are there to make things better for people but a lot of it now is about appearances, their public persona, and "owning" the other Party...
Probably because the Republicans have become radically far-right. My parents used to have a lot of right-leaning friends who would vote either Republican or Democrat, depending on who the candidate was. But they say today's Republicans are nothing like they were back then. Which makes sense, there's never been a Republican who tried to overthrow Democracy because they lost an election, like Trump did. If you look at old news videos of Republicans, they were moderate and sane.

So yeah, I think we're just at that point where the Republicans have become like the Alternative für Deutschland. They're a party that shouldn't be seen as acceptable, despite being mainstream.
Hatred and Anger are secondary emotions fear and the feeling of helplessness that ate much harder to deal with than anger and hatred.

Conservatives are afraid of the government telling them how to live, how to raise their kids, etc. they're afraid of losing g their rights as others fight for immigrants, homosexuals, trans, etc.

Liberals are afraid of an endangered democracy, losing rights, health, the future of the environment.

They are played against each other by self serving politicians and the autocracy.

When Trump supporters staged a violent insurrection on Jan. 6th 2021 they earned the anger of all patriotic Americans.

In the 2020 election Biden won by 7 million votes, in part because of Republican voters who went against party. Some Republicans saw through Trump, so they voted for country instead of party and cast their ballots for Biden. Those Republicans have my thanks.

We aren't. Just because there are legacy media people preaching it and the President and his party saying so doesn't make it so.

Sure, professors rich folks and a tiny sliver of brainwashed youth think so but most of us have more sense than believe those lies.

Words of disagreement aren't harmful and bitter old bags on TV don't rep the average American.

It's all about retaining influence....and relevance

The select few have been influencing everything from economic and social engineering at home, to foreign policy and military intervention abroad for much of the last 30 years.

Different parties, different priorities.

Most democratic countries have at least 3 political parties. Created to cater to 3 traditional income levels.
Those with money.
Those with less but aspirations for more.
And the working class with neither power nor wealth nor influence.

The two parties in America are desperate to ensure that what power; money and influence there is remains where it has been for the last 150 years so they use the language of fear to ensure it does.

They don’t. Is an act to convince the naive that we’re not being ruled by an entrenched Uniparty.

@redredred voting allows us to have the illusion of control over who rules us .

As Doctor Francis Zappa once observed, if voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.@AthrillatheHunt

The biggest reason is that there is such little difference between the mainstream wings of both major UK parties. There aren't big "culture war"differences in things like abortion and on economics, the leadership's of both major parties agree in 90%.

During the Corbyn years, there was a big difference and the criticism was nasty and relentless.

Well Orange started selling bibles .
JoeB declared a Christian holiday a trans holiday .
How’s that for division ?

@Zaphod42 I didn’t mean it as a put down . I have always considered you to be a free thinker and not a partisan with that kind of sweeping generalization
Leave the animosity to the kids . .
Zaphod42 · 46-50, M
@AthrillatheHunt I’m just tired of the talking heads twisting and distorting facts and then seeing it parroted 🤷‍♂️
AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M
@Zaphod42 that’s what they do. And business is booming. Lol
