Why there can't be civil discourse

I don’t consider myself a Republican.

I’m most definitely not a Democrat. I’m more of a libertarian, which means I vote Republican in some cases, but not universally.

I say this so people understand that when folks attack Republicans, I don’t take it personally. They’re not necessarily attacking me. However, I have friends who are Republicans and so they’re talking about them, which is still a problem.

You see, considering how some talk about those Republicans, there’s no way to have a civil discourse. Especially when they compare terrorists with the GOP and the comparison is more favorable to the terrorists.

Seriously.
