But let’s be honest here: the Republican talking points are far from trying to uplift America and seem largely fueled by a phobia of the “other.” Look no further than Tony Hinchcliffe’s appearance at Trump’s MSG rally.
Nonetheless, in the past few months, much of the hate-filled rhetoric has ramped up–as it did in 2016 and again, in 2020. So, it’s nothing new per se but it does become a moment where our friends and families true colors begin to show.
This particular election feels more divisive than any in the past. The die-hard Republican supporters, particularly, have parroted some incredulous claims.
BuzzFeed Community, we want to know what the wildest thing your Republican friends or family said to you during an argument.
Have they continued to harp on debunked rigged election theories?
Did they make insensitive remarks regarding a relative or friend within the LGBTQ+ community?
