To Trump and Fox News followers, and I say this with love and respect, they are offering you a set of things to fear and hate in response to anything that may be wrong with your lives. Respectfully,why not consider joining a movement that actually looks to make your lives better?

I think, however, that they don't expect the GOP to make their lives better. They want other's lives to be worse.

... with a teacher strike looming, you'll hear radio callers sarcastically complain along the lines of, "Well, hell, we all want more money. Wish *I* could just demand a raise and not show up for work!"

Conservatives confusedly don't realize or don't remember that they could've done that very thing -- effectively -- if they hadn't knee-capped unions and made Oklahoma a so-called right-to-work state.

Instead, they just piss and moan about how the 49th-ranked worst-paid teachers are just greedy takers.

Many of them are strictly about hate. And Trump feeds their hatred. I realize there are exceptions, but watch the Trump rallies. The hate is palatable.

I think it's possible to be conservative without buying into the culture of paranoia that is sweeping the GOP.

... winger news isn't as well trusted as FAUX and FAUX is now a propaganda outlet for Benedict Donald's crew.
