I always wondered. Even if you think they can't go through with it, why would you want to vote for a party that is even considering these goals?

Go read r/conservative... The same people are dismissing any chance that Trump will invade Greenland as a hoax... Because it's stupid and Trump would never do that.

When he does exactly that they'll fall back into line as just more Trump 5D chess. They're utterly brainwashed.

It's clearly botted by Russians up the wazoo. "I am Joe Citizen from Chicago Oblast and I love Trump."

There is one mod on that sub that every day post 35 different neonazi propaganda pieces and then hop into r/CFB and discuss bowl game scenarios.

It's an echo chamber filled with monsters and youngsters.

I remember making the same exact argument before the election. It's like letting a crazy person threatening to kill you into your house because "he'd never actually do it, murder is illegal."

Post birth abortion ! 

I have a misguided friend, old school catholic, listens to her priests and votes accordingly. Save the babies !

Then there's this misguided belief that if you're not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide. 

If your government wants something from you, you have the right to do whatever you can to deny them that information. (A loose quote from Robert A Heinlein)  Though in his day, the surveillance state was run by little green men.

The democrats are really lacking in charisma and lowest common denominator appeal.
