Acting like spiteful (and often malicious) children has become Republican core MO, and weirdly there seems to be some sort of broad appeal to it so long as they keep getting away with it. In reality (with few recent exceptions) their behavior is shameful, even criminal, and for a number of decades, their record has been dismal.

Keep it simple and quit acting simple. Liberal means favorable to progress and opposed to bigotry.
