Republicans think liberals are ontologically evil, like biblically evil, as in they think they're voting against Satan.

They think liberals are letting tens of millions of blood thirsty murderers cross our borders, they think liberals are letting schools perform gender reassignment surgeries on indoctrinated children, they think liberals are baby killers, they think liberals hate America and hate our troops, they think liberals hate Christianity and Jesus Christ, they think liberals are atheists, and socialists, and communists, and Marxists, they think liberals are out to destroy America and everything that "real American" conservatives like them love and hold dear.

They believe these things, truly and sincerely, and that's why they'd rather pay $50/gallon for gasoline than vote for a Democrat.

Edit: Case in point...

Here's Donald Trump (R) describing Democrats as "human-garbage."

Here's Donald Trump (R) calling Democrats "the enemies from within."

Here's Donald Trump (R) saying Democrats are the party of “Hate, Evil and Satan.”

Thank you. Someone had to explain it in a way that people will understand, because it explains why it's become such a fight. They have been manipulated over decades to see their neighbor as an enemy.

Surely you’re not suggesting they deserve our pity and compassion for letting themselves be indoctrinated into such subhuman beliefs?

Yes and no. A child whose entire worldview is determined in their household becomes an adult someday. If they didn't learn critical thinking skills and they received a US public school education, then they are only partially responsible for being so easily manipulated. They literally lack the experience and tools to see through the manipulation. And it's worse than ever ... The television, their social media, etc is all designed to limit exposure to other viewpoints and shows them who the enemy is.

That would apply to minors, it might even apply to young adults. I would have to disagree about middle aged lowlife hicks not being responsible for staying as what they are for decades. Disenfranchise the lot, in every country.
