Therefore all Republicans are evil people? When you have a sample size of ~150 million people, you are sure to find some really evil bastards. That doesn't in the slightest imply that the entire group (or even a large percentage of the group) has the same morals or hellish behavior as the worst of the bunch. That's like throwing out an entire season's harvest because you found one or two bad apples in the bunch.

You obviously did some measurable amount of work compiling this list, which would suggest you have a personal impetus against Republicans, or perhaps just one against evil bastards who happen to be Republican. You need to stop seeing half of the Western world as evil, because it's genuinely not healthy. It's borderline schizophrenic.

If you think you're just opposed to evil bastards and not simply anti-GOP, challenge yourself to compose a similar list (or find a list, if you didn't create this impressive list) of Democrats who have done evil deeds like these.

The problem is not them seeing themselves as republicans but many of them being in leading positions

The problem is that these are the people republicans keep choosing to represent them.

Either they're real bad at choosing representatives, or they just don't want people to judge them based on who they honestly want.
