Not knowing who these great people are who are people of reason and what they do, means you have some ignorance about you, sadly.
I don't think Bill Maher belongs in that group. I don't find him that particularly intelligent or funny. IMO John Fugelsang is a much better political comedian ...

Bill Maher is the type of person you either really hate or really love, and the reason for that is because of his straight-forward, blatant personality. I find that quality attractive ( as a like, not sexual ).
I do believe he should be included on the list that I posted because he is a great figure and spokesperson for people of reason. He is actually quite intelligent. He's a graduate from Cornell with a B.A. in both History and English. I find his comedy quite funny.
Fugelsang... I am not a fan of him. His work isn't that great.

How sweet. Certainly something I'd like to believe.
I live in a state that came dangerously close to putting one of these nutbags in the US Senate and it was only a split vote (Write-ins wasted on another conservative, though more balanced, candidate who chose not to run at the last minute) that saved us from ruin.
I've heard too many otherwise sane people go on about how horrible O is and how he "...is Hitler!" and similar, bagger-inspired rants. The number of people voicing this craziness is frightening and I can only imagine how many more there are that are not so vocal about it. Many of these same people will go on about how they 'support' our troops, 'honor' our vets, and abhor the atrocities of WWII Europe and in the same breath tell you about how the current administration is driving us down the road to socialism and a police state, etc.
It only takes twelve states to elect a President. That's far less than 99% of the population, but enough to cause some horrific damage.

The definition of a conservative is someone who wants government out of your life except when it comes to regulating your sex/reproductive life...BTW, I've mentioned this before but super conservative Dallas and Houston have the highest per-capita population of TS escorts, based on BP ads.

Those who make those arguments that "O" is Hitler are people who don't know history and disregard it as just some class one needs to "complete" ( cheat/ just get by ) in high school. Regardless of how the collegiate vote happens, the majority, "the American People" won't let that happen. Imagine if we ( America ) were to become a country just like Syria...LOTS of countries ( at least 192 ) would take action to combat the foolishness of said "crazed asshole republican", and help free-thinking Americans.
Also, I have served in the U.S. Navy and know many, many service members. A huge chunk of them are very free-thinking. This isn't Vietnam era. The "troops" today are mature enough to understand when to stand up against immoral orders. It's called integrity; "To do what is right when no one is taking notice and/or taking a stand against immoral actions/ideas." Honor.
I live in Texas. A state in which, has a senator who is a complete "crazy person"...Ted Fuckin Cruz AND a dumbass governor and previous presidential candidate, Rick Perry. I am a tranny who resides in this state. I am fine. Everyone here treats me like a normal person, a fellow human, even though I live a state where real crazies are from and live and hold some kind of office.

My "sex life" isn't what one would call a "societal norm", let alone the current state of my body. So this is a big issue for me. That is why I learn as much as I can about these people and their politics and keep updated by many new outlets. ( Not MSM. That's where they brew bullshit. I listen to NPR, RT, Colbert, Stewart, and Bill Maher. )
And yes, you are right. Here in Dallas and also in Houston, there are lots of transgender people, oddly enough lol.
Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
Its pretty hard to deny that Ted Cruz & the Tea Baggers are a really messed up crew with some pretty fucked up ideals.

No problem. I'd just wait for their base to croak from diabetes, arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease...not to mention terminal stupidity.
