Here is a quick way to determine American values - Whatever you think on a subject, America values are just the opposite.

Oh, so patriotism isn't an American values anymore?

I guess that explains this:

Trump backs Putin on election meddling at summit against his own country's intel

Democrats don't have economic policies that work?

What?

The economy under several Democratic Presidents has done quite well. Clinton comes to mind. Obama left us with the longest period of job and economic growth in some time.

Meanwhile, the last Republican President to leave the nation in better economic shape than he found it was Eisenhower.

It's the Republicans who are "The Hateful Eight", they are loners who hate everything and everyone and the movie's ending is a perfect curtain draw for their intolerance, hate and violence.

No guns needed when they eat them alive like a pack of jackals on their prey.

What makes the Right so despise the above American values?

Here is a really good book on this exact topic by a conservative

https://www.amazon.com/How-Right-Los.../dp/1250199530

Quote:
Once at the center of the American conservative movement, bestselling author and radio host Charles J. Sykes is a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the right-wing media that enabled his rise.

In How the Right Lost Its Mind, Sykes presents an impassioned, regretful, and deeply thoughtful account of how the American conservative movement came to lose its values. How did a movement that was defined by its belief in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, traditional values, and civility find itself embracing bigotry, political intransigence, demagoguery, and outright falsehood? How the Right Lost its Mind addresses:
*Why are so many voters so credulous and immune to factual information reported by responsible media?
*Why do conservatives decide to overlook, even embrace, so many of Trump’s outrages, gaffes, conspiracy theories, falsehoods, and smears?
*Can conservatives govern? Or are they content merely to rage?
*How can the right recover its traditional values and persuade a new generation of their worth?
What we are witnessing is nothing more than a populist movement that happened to spring out of the GOP. These type of populist movements are ugly on their face, xenophobia, protectionism devolving into dehumanizing behavior....kind of like tearing babies from their mother's arms because they are "other" Things like this have a limited shelf life, and with the shame and humiliation brought on americans this last Monday it appears the crest of this particular wave has peaked..we will see.

All you point out is the "status quo" is now being exposes as the "status foe" who has benefited while the people ignored have gone unheard. Your point is old news or history.

So true. The Dems care about no one but power. They would rather see mass unemployment and starvation rather than lose. I'm ready for the next civil war. I don't I can get hurt by them throwing pink vagina hats and human feces at me.

Have you ever considered actually naming specific actions of Democrats you allege are so detrimental to the country or are glittering generalities and myth your wheelhouse?

No, as a matter of fact, I do not know who owns this site. I never thought about it and did not know that it mattered. Perhaps you would be kind enough to enlighten me?

Perhaps you should pay close enough attention to the daily news and other media and I would think that it will hit you square in the face.
