when Republicans feign that their party is equivalent to the Democratic party

which he hears too often 

which is a lie

               he usually smiles sighs  takes a deep breath letting the moment breathe like an inferior wine lets their banner or standard unfurl cut from whole cloth thin diaphanous fibers  so that the slightest breeze can lift it 

                                                                                                                    then he asks the speaker What do you stand for?not against  what are you for? What is your partys platform?their holistic approach their ideas ideals solutions to support or combat our complex sociopolitical socioemotional topics or issues

What do you stand for?

it is not unfair for him to sayto cite Republicans indulge hatred grown from tilled soil seeded with fear
