I’ve seen a lot of blind hatred for Republicans on this site, and even though I don’t really identify with the party, I thought this needed to be said. Being a Republican doesn’t make someone a bad person. It’s just a political party, and it’s not “wrong” to identify as one. It also doesn’t mean that they agree with 100% of all the views that are associated with the party, so try not to jump to conclusions. Judge someone based off what they say and do, not their party affiliation.

I’m politically moderate but my parents are Republicans so I basically identified as one until I was old enough to develop my own views. And you know what? The way tumblr sees Republicans is completely inaccurate. They aren’t the racist/sexist assholes you want them to be. Some obviously are, but some of the kindest, most accepting people I’ve met lean right. Trump doesn’t speak for all Republicans and it is absolutely narrow-minded of everyone to act like his agenda is what fully represents the party.

Furthermore, I have seen COUNTLESS posts degrading anyone who is Republican, regardless of the fact that those on the far left (which tumblr as a whole is) preach tolerance. Where’s your tolerance of people who don’t share the same opinion as you? There’s many things I disagree with in the Republican party, but the NASTINESS from the left makes me sympathize with them a lot. Democrats, if you’re going to preach tolerance, fucking align your actions with your words and accept that people have the right to see the world differently than you and not get hate/threats for it.
