So, the OP is upset because a group of newer voters (who are more educated/informed than average) gave their great leader an insult because of his failed policies? Why perish the thought! Instead of taking the chance to educate yourself and learn why so many (from all sides of the political spectrum) are opposing the president's agenda, you choose personal insults. Not to worry, slowly but surely you will be marginalized like all the other haters.

You wreck your credibility with your double standards. Any fair-minded, objective person with moral integrity is going to see Victoria Jackson's statements as vitriol. Freedom of speech does not mean that people can't criticize you for what you say. Because that would impede on their freedom of speech.
There is a difference between judging people for what they actually do and say vs. judging people for things you think they do. Spewing vitriol is a conduct of character thing. Being uber hypocritical about spouting vitriol is a conduct of character thing. Judging and condemning people that you know nothing or next to nothing about except a label, is also a conduct of character thing.
Comparing political opponents to Communists and Hitler is a blatant attempt at subjugating and denigrating opposing views. There is nothing "honorable" or "ethical" about it. It is pure fearmongering. It is stomping all over people in order to achieve an agenda. What a great lesson to teach children. That double standards are okay, so long as it benefits "your side". That it is okay to treat people badly so long as you get your way in life.
You don't have to sell your soul for a tax cut. You can ask for one without insulting, degrading, dehumanizing the opposition. After all, there was a 1964 tax cut in the Revenue Act of 1964. Also known as the Kennedy-Johnson tax cut. According to the website below, Republicans were against/had qualms about the tax cut that Kennedy wanted to do. Why? To quote the site below, "it would generate a deficit thereby threatening to add to the national debt."
