        A vote for a Republican is a vote for misogyny, bigotry, racism, authoritarianism, and class warfare on the side of the rich and powerful. There isn’t a single Republican leader looking to move the nation forward, only backward to preserve the privileges they’re losing.

        If you know this and you vote for them anyway, you’re an asshole. If you didn’t know this and were just voting for them because that’s how you were raised, here’s your opportunity to not be an asshole.

          Or just outside the US. In the Netherlands, a republican is someone who wants to abolish the monarchy and start a true republic.

          I think having a king is idiotic, but I can’t use the actual term for that, thanks to several tens of millions of assholes in America who equated the word with authoritarianism and racism.
