Liberals not understanding that Trump's supporters are fanatically devoted to Trump because he promises to do all the things they want, something a liberal would never do.

The closest I will ever have to something positive to say about the GOP is: the do make good on their campaign promises.

GOP are ontologically evil, but will do what they were voted in for.

Democrats LIKE TO PRESENT THEMSELVES AS well-meaning, but weak-willed hypocrites that will tell that good intentions are good enough as an excuse to put up their feet and do nothing all term long.

EDIT: fixed a horrible typo.

Not really. Conservatives flake all the time. The difference is their media apparatus bombards voters with outrage and fake news so much that they can barely remember the politicians they voted for lied to them. Democrats dont even bother spending time on propaganda.

Democrats are well-meaning

Tell that to the Palestinians who are being genocided with support from Democrats.
