When did Republicans start thinking that it was okay for a Presidential candidate to preach divisiveness, accuse minorities of being criminals, make fun of women and the handicapped, brag about grabbing women's genitals without their consent, and refuse to make full financial disclosures... yet still earn the party nomination, and later, the presidency?

Come on. Romney was sunk by making one elitist comment and talking about binders full of women.

Trump sits around on golden toilet seats rating the attractiveness of women by numbers and the party of "good Christians" are okay with this?

When did the Republicans become so attached to a godless pervert?

The left does hate Republicans. IMO it has nothing to do with Trump.
Well, it did start with the Tea Party. I mean, 8 years of seeing your president portrayed in posters with a noose around his neck or eating watermelon with racist slang written about him will irritate people.

Who knew?

They really are full of hate, but the people they should hate are the DNC and their collaborative media who made them feel so safe that Clinton would win that they didn't bother to vote. And then they have been throwing a three month hissy fit ever since.
I think you've confused hatred with disgust.

Nobody really cares that much that Clinton didn't win specifically. It's that Trump is unfit.

I would bet hard money that the vast majority of liberals would have been fine with an actual politician who knew the job, even if they weren't fond of his/her politics.

Maybe you should take some time to read what your fellow Republicans think and believe. Toddle on over to Breitbart and check out all those other white nationalist sites.

Might put this in perspective for you.

When they discovered what they consider to be the Holy Grail of political weapons:
Identity politics. .......Now they're addicted to it.

You have to admit, they had a good thing going while it lasted, unfounded accusations of racism became the new McCarthyism.

It was fast way to shut down their opponents without having to use any actual logic or critical thinking and put them on the defensive, almost like accusing someone of rape or child molestation.

The accusation itself, regardless of how much basis for it there is in reality, puts the onus on the accused to prove his innocence instead of the accuser proving their guilt.
And remember, what constitutes "racism" can be very subjective.... what's racist to one person may not be to another... often times regardless of skin color.
(the whole Redskins name debacle for instance)
So, the Left decides to appoint themselves as the sole arbiters and Grand Pobah of what is or isn't racist.

But during Obama's term in office they went nuts with their new toy....rubber stamping any and all opposition to policy as being based on his skin color.

Trump's nomination sent them into a frenzy and the began a scorched Earth policy, ramping up the crazy to now proclaim anyone supporting Trump as a "white nationalist" or "white supremacist".

Thank God most sane Americans are seeing through the BS though and put the Libs on notice:

Their race card has been declined.

If anyone doubts the OP, let's try a little thought experiment...

You have the choice of doing one of the following..

1) Wear a T-shirt in support of Hillary and visit a predominantly red state area where most people voted Trump.

2) Wear a Trump hat and visit Berkley or Portland.

If you had to pick one of those, which would you think would be the safer choice?

Actually when I refer to Liberals I'm usually talking about the party as a whole. Not necessarily individuals within the party...unless otherwise noted or when it's just plain obvious.

There are always outliers in any group...
But that doesn't change the direction the party as a whole is going in.

How on Earth did you get that I was trying to defend Democrats that riot in the streets? I was simply pointing out that you should not make a blanket statement about an entire group based on the actions of a very small percent. This applies to liberals, Muslims, Philadelphia sports fans or any other group.

On another note you are way off base with your claim that "only 10-20% of all liberal take highly hostile actions during their daily life". There are 200 million registered Democrats in this country. If you really believe 20-40 million of us are "taking highly hostile actions daily" man you are totally out of touch with reality.
