I could see how they feel that way.  Take for example threads about electric cars and mass transit.  There's no infrastructure for electric cars and not enough masses for mass transit, but Farkers from large cities keep on insisting that the entire country should abandon cars completely and go with mass transit and electric cars.  Ignoring the fact that what works in a large city does not work in rural areas, and what works in rural areas does not work in large cities.  But oversimplification of complex issues lead to ridiculous conclusions.

And then the GQP swoops in and poisons their minds with fascist ideology.  Mixing the "we want to help rural communities" message with "here are the minorities we want you to hate".

I support the Democrats because I want to protect LGBT and ethnic/religious minority rights and liberties, and I want UBI and single-payer healthcare.  Since it is the closest thing we have to a viable leftist party.  But I can easily understand how people can be turned off by the words and actions of some Democrats.
