This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.
Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.
I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.
No I’m in the right party. I’m not a rabid racist like the democrats. I’m against large government. I’m against wages theft through taxation.
You know that slavery, kkk we’re all democrat things and still are?
There is nothing positive in me about the democrats.
According to whom? Both of these things have always been far right ideologies. Are you forgetting the two main parties switched in name a century ago?
The parties never switched. That’s a myth.
The Democrats started both the kkk and slavery.
The Republican Party was built on anti slavery.

It objectively is not a myth.

Did you even read my citations before you started trolling? You do not act in good faith.
Your citations are wrong, biased opinion pieces.
No, mine are accurate. It is well known the parties never switched, it is also well known you didn’t read the citations.
“It’s well known the sun is purple”
So what policies changed? Name 3 politicians that swapped sides.
You want to know why you can’t? Because it was a pr campaign. Thats it.
The switch happened over several decades. The goal posts you manufactured don’t make sense.

Because the switch wasn’t instantaneous, nor affiliation/group based. Individuals themselves changed their thoughts and party affiliation, not just party affiliation.
The KKK literally, currently supports GOP candidates. Trump was caught doing housing segregation. The GOP regularly gerrymanders to reduce the power of black voters. The GOP regularly shuts down voting places in black neighborhoods to keep voting lines long. White nationalists are waving the flag of Trump.
The democratic party is a shit show. But the GOP is a god damn dumpster fire. Our political system regularly elects racist old men, on both sides. What did you expect?
At least on my side of the line there ain’t white nationalists. That’s plenty for me.

But somehow democrats are the ones that are racist.

Thank you for proving my point.

You must be really old if you can recall a time when democrats discriminated against people based on race. ;-) Parties change. The modern GOP is all about big government, control of people, censorship, and racism.
But, your answer said all I need to know about your actual position.
Thanks
They still do. They just dress it up and call it diversity now-a-days. Just look at college admissions for a good example.
What about college admissions?
There was a entire court case and everything. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard#:~:text=Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard%2C 600 U.S.,Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
TLDR: College Admissions / Affirmative Action were racist, and probably still are.
Well, I think college admission should be done entirely by a computer, that simply takes that person‘s transcripts and accomplishments, and what not, to decide if they are accepted. Not human interaction.
But I can understand how a white person might feel disappointed if they had to go to a less convenient college because their first pick didn’t have any more slots.
I suppose we should be sure the balance of men and women isn’t taken into consideration too?
What about scholarships based on financial need? If a college wanted to accept a certain number of people on scholarships per year, that might cut the open slots for wealthy while males.
Not just white people, Asians are the most affected by Affirmative Action.
I know it’s not possible to be perfect (There are idiots and assholes in every large group, including college admissions), but imo effort should be made to be race and sex blind. Right now, effort is being made to the opposite.
The democrats still discriminate against people based on race. It’s a core part is their platform.
And no, you have the gop wrong. Covid proved that the gop wasn’t about control. They let people make informed decisions about their health. The democrats wanted to force vaccinations and mask on everyone.
Seems like you don’t know much about the GOP
Which democratic policies are you thinking of that discriminate based on race?
https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-are-real-racists-minority-americans-are-taking-note-opinion-1450585
Everything to Democrats is about race, sexual orientation, and segregation. etc.
What are the major Republican talking points? Trans? Drag? It’s like you’re not being told what the GQP is actually.
Also, that article is labeled opinion, and those aren’t facts.
Small government. Lower taxes. Protection of constitutional rights. Freedom of association.
Not sure what drag. Trans means. Some context would be useful.
Well, unless you’re extremely wealthy, the Republican Party has not lowered taxes for the middle class in the past 20 years or so. Obviously, there is a lot to consider like tax credits, etc. But that blanket statement of “Republicans lower taxes “is not entirely accurate.
Trump raised my taxes. I’m solid middle class 300-500k a year on average. I got a nice tad bump due to the salt changes. Wealth has little to do with taxes. Taxes are based in income which is not the same as wealth
The KKK’s still around, and when they march, they don’t march with Democrats.
Still democrats.
Hell even the Neo Nazi supporter Biden for o president.
Which guy said a neo-Nazi rally had “good people on both sides?”
Who was endorsed by the leader of the Neo-Nazi party.
https://gazette.com/opinion/editorial-a-racists-endorsement-of-biden-comes-as-no-surprise/article_4058411e-e6f8-11ea-a8d2-633192d81b82.html
Who didn’t want their children in a racial jungle?
Who told black people they weren’t black if they didn’t vote him.
How racist are you not to see the party is racist?
Richard Spencer is the neo-Nazi who started the rally I just fucking asked about! The rally called “Unite the right.” He’s a right-wing crank - he fucking came up with the term alt-right.
Jesus fuck, this crank opinion piece really tries saying the Nazi who runs a right-wing propaganda campaign and promoted a right-wing rally for other Nazis is totes mcgoats sincere and logical when he claims he’s not right-wing. Guys. Nazis like you. Any time they claim to be socialist - they immediately start murdering actual socialists.
Do you need a fucking diagram for why an ideology that hates queer people, academia, and feminism keeps showing up at your events?
I am not a Nazi troll.
The Nazis supported Biden. Spencer endorsed Biden. Let that sink in.
Spencer’s a right-wing troll. And a fucking Nazi.
Spencer created the brand that the Republican party endorsed.
When that sneering bigot says ‘actually I’m left-wing,’ that is literally what the Nazis did. And you still fall for that?
What a worthless conversation.
