Meanwhile I'm hoping for a reelection of Donald Trump.

I can't support the Republican Party at its current state. I strongly believe that it needs a vast overhaul before it becomes viable again. Ideally, I think the current Democrat Party should split between the progressive and establishment base, in which the establishment part of the Democrats should be the new Republican Party.

I supported it all my life in all states. Let me guess why you can't support the Republicans, Donald Trump.

It's not just Trump, honestly. One example is the GOP introducing a bill that requires ectopic pregnancies to be reimplanted, which is utter science fiction.

what does ectopic mean

Pregnancies that happen when the egg implants itself in the Fallopian tube rather than the uterus. The fetus is 100% nonviable when that occurs, but Ohio GOP lawmakers want to make it a requirement to reimplant them anyway.

The only reason I didn't voted for Bernie in the last election because my parents put me down as Republican without my consent

I will say this with a lot of restraint but I have very little respect for a political party that actively threatens my livelihood, my boyfriend's livelihood (a Korean immigrant who isn't even a citizen yet), and my best friend's livelihood (who is a Latino). One of friend's brother got harassed by one of those racist Republicans that told him to "go back where he came from" even though he is an American who lived in the U.S. since he was born. I sometimes worry that my best friend, who didn't get an incident, yet, get targeted and harrassed by one of those racists that Trump clearly emboldened, and that feeling makes me resentful. Furthermore the Republicans adore this godawful healthcare system that could've bankrupted my best friend and his family since he was afflicted with leukemia. The social conservative mindset from loved ones has also inflicted a lot of pain on a lot of people, particularly LGBT members, in this very community.

Supporting that party is supporting all that or at least being complacent with it. Wishing reelection is wishing to let conservatives continue hurting people, especially for decades as Trump secures more social conservative Supreme Court nominees as well as allowing corruption in our government to fester. I don't respect your opinion at all frankly.

And I don't enjoy giving out this talk in Marioboards, but I don't have the privilege to ignore it, it's a disservice to people who rightfully feel under threat by this administration that tries to take their human rights away.

I've also paid like 700 dollars out of my pocket when I was treated for the stomach flu last year, after insurance of course. Medical expenses are not fun.

@Princess Mario Despite strongly disagreeing with the Democratic Party on pretty much every front, I completely respect your opinion and I'm not about to call it wrong. I don't understand why political debates have to become so hostile so quickly. There comes a point where you realize that both political parties have their pros and cons, and people are just going to have different opinions on what they value in our country. Please at least try to respect that.

Political debates become hostile quickly because they can get very, very personal and that they have serious real life consequences depending on who and what policies you support. Like, a lot of vigor LeftyGreenMario has is because she knows a lot of people who are actively being hurt by the Republican's policies, as well as having a mind of science and seeing the party deny or take lax action on Climate Change. I can't summarize everything wrong with the Republicans in a status update, but yeah, most of California does not like Trump, since Trump tries to screw with our undocumented immigration sanctuary, our environmentally friendly policies, and handled our fires really terribly.
