MODERATORS
To be honest, a lot of Republicans are still very respectable. The republican platform is fucked up, but if you are talking to your neighbor, don't make his party affliation equal to his personal belief. A Democrat doesn't believe in everything in the Democrat's platform either.
In that sense, insulting a party is not generally helpful for public discourse.
Democrats are not perfect, but if someone identifies as a Republican in 2023, there is something deeply wrong with their personal beliefs.
Dehumanizing your subject is easy. Republicans do that to people on the left too. Let's just hate each other till we destroy each other. That's gonna get a good society going.
One side says, "Kill em all"
The other says "Line those killers against the wall"

Actually try having a job with outspoken republicans and see just how tolerant of you they are. Once they find out im gay its game over and my job ends soon after.
How many times? Three.
Does this happen in call cebter jobs? No, because the people are all centrists. But in the manual labor jobs i love its republicans who keep me from my dream.
Oh yeah I had to work with a guy who just couldn't stop running off his mouth about Trump and how evil Republicans were. Everyone else was pretty nice to work with but that guy was just cringy all the time.
Imagine a job with that guy above you in the heirarchy, and how he would notice all your little mistakes if you didnt agree with him.
