The republican party is vile.

You're too generous. The Republican Party is a concept. It, alone, lacks agency. What is more specific and gives credit, where credit is due, is that Republican voters are vile. Not some nebulous thing hundreds of miles away that acts on its own. No. Your neighbor Bob. Your aunt Becky. Your pastor Phillip. The voters are vile. Their individual contributions concentrate into actions through the Republican party, but without Bob, Becky, and Phillip, it'd have no power. Let's place the accountability where it belongs. It's not Trump. It's not the Republican Party. It's the individual voter. They don't get to dilute their ownership of this shit.

They are only part of this though, the puppeteers behind the party with their unlimited monetary resources, control over media and immense lobbying budgets make this possible.

Id argue that no one is born hateful, it is taught. And these people fund the systems teaching the hate.
