Can you all take a deep breath and relax a bit?
First, America is a very diverse country with a wide range of people . . . . and only two political parties worth mentioning. These parties are both incredibly broad tents that contain factions that have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common and are only part of the same party by historical accident.
Both parties contain a) 45% of the American population and b) some lunatics. And both contain people who like pointing at the lunatics of the other party and saying "vote for us or they'll get in". And a lot of people seem to fall for this. Including the people here who start talking about The Other Party(tm) as if it's a coherent group and saying that they're all X.
