On a lark, I registered as a republican back in 2008 specifically so I could vote for Obama as a republican. That action, however, got me registered to all sorts of conservative mailing lists that initially boggled my mind with how full they are of pure sh*t. At first it was amusing how crackpot and deranged they could be, but it quickly just became sad and/or scary. Since I am fairly liberal, I am also registered to quite a few dem mailing lists, and the comparison isn't even close. The liberal mailing lists and news sources I might describe as having click-bait headlines, or be a bit too bleeding-heart for my tastes, but the conservative side of the aisle is almost pure fear, mis-truths and hate mongering.
