How can one side of the political spectrum express this level of hate and contempt for the other and still expect to be taken seriously?

From the article...

"A few years of Republican border and refugee policies, and we’ll be headed back to the ever-whiter America that preceded Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 immigration reforms. "

That is insane. We've gone from 88% white to 72% white (us census). How exactly will controlling the border reverse this? It's an insane rant.

And vice versa.

TDS. Can't get his way, so he wants to blow everything up.

You start by understanding that The New Republic is biased Left Wing Liberal.

Factual content is high, but presentation and stories are biased heavily Liberal Left

Initial paragraph is accurate in general, that the Democrat leaning blue states pay more in Federal Taxes than they benefit from the Federal Government and Red states are takers.

And, Republicans have moved White, Right, bitter, as 90% of Republicans in Congress are white non-Hispanic Males.

And, it is true that Trump regularly challenges the US Constitution and what is does winds up in Federal Courts, ruling against him, more than anyone else in a very long time.

Yes, many Democrats are very annoyed with the Republicans.

It is missing some key information.

"Red" states Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Ohio, Texas, Iowa

are more purple than red. They seem to support Biden over Trump for 2020.

Texas has changed from a "taker" state to slightly "giver" state for Federal taxes vs benefits.

Cities are growing, and cities are generally Democrat.

But, from what I see, the Right Wing hates the Left and the Left Wing hates the Right.

Red States do need to start carrying their own weight. Blue states are fed up with shelling out the cash in federal taxes and getting little back in federal spending. Worse yet, the red states are hostile and ungrateful.

The article is not entirely serious but you get the message. It expresses honest frustration.

This sounds like there’s a virus on the other end of that link or some sort of set up...I’ll pass😂

Contempt is in no short supply on both sides.

I don't know who takes democrats seriously anymore except the stupid,gullible or evil
