To make themselves look better and win elections, politicians demonize their opposition to the point that every so often, some unstable fucktard takes things too literally, snaps and takes a shot at one of them. Both parties do it. It's not exclusive to Republicans, they're just the ones with the guns. There's plenty of liberal fucktards too.
Aside from pushing people on the edge over the brink, it creates a pretty hostile climate when elected officials are supposed to be working together to make the country better. How can someone sit down and compromise to solve problems with a person they were comparing to Hitler a few weeks earlier during the elections without pissing off the people who bought in to their bullshit and got them elected in the first place?
Our whole political system is completely fucked.
