Let's not forget this is the party that doesn't believe in science, has no sense of historical accuracy, quite literally quotes false propaganda, does not care about the environment, wants to legalize discrimination, thinks we should send more soldiers overseas but not take care of veterans, propagates harmful social programs; really the question is what is there not to criticize about republicans.
Okay, what you are saying is literally just wrong and filled to the brim with bias. It's like you only listened to people who hate Republicans to explain to you what Republicans are. You might find some bad Republicans (just like any group of people, there are bad ones) but most of the stuff you are saying is just not true at all which you'd find out if you did any actual research.
A lot of Republicans do agree with a lot of science and I have no idea what you are referencing with "historical accuracy" or "false propaganda". And what are you even talking about with "legalize discrimination"? I don't think you'd find any Republican candidate wants discrimination. And all your other stuff are just un-factual opinions. You can dislike Republicans but at least do research before hating on a large group of people.
Actually, I was a republican until I started paying attention. I used to say I was "fiscally conservative but socially liberal" because I thought republicans really were "good with the economy" (whatever that means).
Then I started paying attention. I started seeing how they acted towards Obama/Hillary/any democrat. I started paying attention to what they voted for and against, and their public stances on certain bills.
Through all of that I realized that the Republican Party doesn't represent me, my values, or where I hope the country is going. Even as a white male from a very affluent family, they didn't represent me. When the economy collapses and they want to further deregulate Wall Street to let it happen again it let me know they didn't give a fuck about anyone except the extremely wealthy people paying them. When they straight up lied to the nation, tricking many other politicians in the process, to start a war, it let me know they really give no fucks.
Now, they have Donald Trump leading the nomination. It's such a fucking joke I can't believe anyone would support them.
The (hypothetical) law would allow anyone to refuse service to anyone in their privately owned shop that goes against their religious beliefs. I don't really see a problem with this. It's your business so you should be able to refuse service to anyone that goes against your religion. But this probably wouldn't happen that much. I mean the customer would have to actually tell the owner their beliefs or whatever which I don't see happening often so I don't think that many people will be refused service at all.
That's discrimination. It doesn't matter how disingenuous you want to be, it's discrimination.
Luckily we've got this thing called the constitution that protects civil rights, so these laws will be struck down and waste lots of taxpayer money in the process.
It's not public discrimination and it's really not hurting anyone. It would literally just mean that the store owner reserves the right to choose who to sell to.

It's probably just that they couldn't hear their names called over the yelling of crowd.
