issue I can think of where the popular GOP position is superior to the popular Democratic position. Taxes, immigration, healthcare, gun control, foreign policy, abortion rights, etc. You name it, the GOP position is AWFUL. Borderline evil.

Republicans are literally the only major political party on earth that denies anthropogenic climate change. They're not just a menace to the USA, they're a danger to the world. Bet your ass I'm voting straight Democrat in every election.
