Mine has a few of them as well, enough for them to openly apply as a political party.

The fact remains that the US position would be a lot better than it is they voted in numbers. The Republican voters loyalty to their team alone proves this. It might be the only redeeming quality they have but make no mistake on it…they have control because their people religiously vote.

i don't think usians will be able to vote fascism away at this point though. we are already at the "gestapo killing people off the streets" stage.
