What do Republicans hate more, Hillary or America?

It's clear to me that Republicans (voting for Trump) would rather burn America to the ground than contribute to shaping the future of this country. I know some of these wimps. They are tough talking, gun carrying, cowboy wannabes. Their lives are boring and they have tiny... hands.
I think it's a prime opportunity for democrats to "capture the flag." We the democrats are now the party of patriotism. Criticizing ones country is perfectly acceptable and good for the growth of this country. Democracy isn't easy and isn't smooth. We fight then unite. The flexibility of our constitution is the key ingredient to our resilience.
Wanting to destroy the country from within is a different story. Essentially I see Trump and his basket of deplorables as treasonous and threatening the safety and security of our country.
Why? Because they want to preserve their white privelege and will that privelege to their children and grand children. I, as a proud democrat, see the potential to live in a world where our differences aren't divisions. However, we are under serious threat from these ex patriots. We have been working our way through a tunnel for the past 8 years. We see the light at the end. Do we run toward it or turn around and run back into the darkness? We should push forward and throw some sharp elbows to get there.

1. They hate America, they hate what she stands for and was builit upon. THey are always ready

to sacrifice her at a moments notice.

2. This really came out when we elected a black president.

There has always been a certain amount of this, hoping the nation will fail so the president fails. But such sentiments became far more noticeable when Obama was elected. The right wingers hoped for economic collapse, civil unrest, terrorist attacks, disease outbreak, and just about anything that would cause fear and panic. I expect it will continue at approximately the same levels when we have a woman president, since there must be at least as many people who hate women as there are people who hate blacks.

3. They hate the America of the 21st Century. They want the America of the 1950s.

Where the "good jobs" were done by whites only, and minorities were just the servants and shoeshine boys..

Where a guy could ogle a woman at work and get a giggle and a flirtatious smile in response, instead of a visit to HR.

Where "a woman knew her place.... as a girlfriend, wife, mother, then homemaker."

Too bad, we're not going back there.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama represent the changing America they can't handle.

5. You nailed it.

The genie is out of the bottle and the only way they can handle it is hate.
