Everything you said here is true and I don't dispute that-A fact doesn't have to be believed to make it true. By their actions it is a fact that the Republican party is very different from the Democratic party.
If you believe that they are two sides of the same coin then your perception of the Democratic party is afflicted by propaganda from the very people who oppose your ideology. It is naive to think the Democratic Party is the same as the Republican Party. All one needs to do is watch what the to parties have done while in office.
Your railing on about the corrupt Democratic Party is another example of how propaganda from the right is effective.
AND YET, perception is STILL everything.
You can condescendingly call people names like naive, or you can meet them where they are.
Shillary called people names ('deplorables') and it cost her the election- and now the Democrats are out of power everywhere except in city mayorships.
Meet the people where they are. Don't you think there's a fundamental grain of truth to their concerns, even if the big picture is different?
If you won't see things through their perspective, how do you expect them to come around to yours?
Sounds naive.
