I work with a lot of republicans (Texans mainly) and there is simply no middle ground or give or take with them. If it's a policy or suggestion by a democrat it's wrong by default. There is no reasoning needed. Obama is hated because he is a democrat.I dont get the hate for Obama, Tragically, it seems the worlds biggest superpower dont like a steady hand on the rudder. That ship has not rocked far from its middle course in 8 years, to the impartial observer. What's wrong with that? There may have been a big lack of 'fuck yeah!'s' but that is only a good thing
I was speaking with a very well educated, ordinarily reasonable guy yesterday who happens to be a republican. I asked his thoughts on Trump. He said he's an idiot, but then said if he gets the republican vote he'll be right there as his biggest supporter. There wasn't a sniff of irony in his voice.
UK political unwavering can be similar, but it's on steroids in certain parts of the U.S.
