The scariest thing to me is, it looks increasingly as though Trump will win. Saw some interviews of folks back in my old home state of PA, whose jobs were permanently lost in the global market. Blue collar guys who had always voted for a Democrat for President honestly believe Trump can fix what ails their towns. As if Trump actually cared…
Night-Gaunt49 said,“Not counting all the dreck likes told about her and her husband——all proven to be baseless lies by the Reich Wing.”. Not counting all the dreck lies told about her and her husband——all proven to be baseless lies by the Reich Wing. maybe?.Proven by the Reich Wing to be lies?Only the lies proven to be lies?Everything ever said proven to be lies?ll proven to haven told by the Reich Wing? even those things Barack said about her in 2008 and Bernie said this year?.So confusing. (Probably because of the strip cut out on my screen.)
I see the McCarthy era resurfacing. Are you now or have you ever been Black, Hispanic or Muslim? Then the Evangelicals can torture those that are guilty of not being haters. Oh what fun!
I think what’s needed is for people to admit it, and then work toward moving beyond it.
My father, in his delightfully cynical way, once told me, “Son, everyone has the right to be an a$$hole, no matter what their color, creed, or gender.”
While I’m not quite that cynical, I’ve found over the years that I have a lot in common with my black coworkers, my Asian neighbors, and my Hispanic/Muslim grocer.
It helps to empathize with people. However, empathy is one thing the Donald seems to be lacking.
You can’t critisize a backwards and violent religion like Islam without someone pulling the racist card. You can’t say ‘we have too many illegal immigrants’ without someone pulling the racist card. It’s the end-of-all-discussion term. ’I’m not going to check if what you say is right because it sounds racist to me.’
That Mexican-American judge belongs to La Raza (“The Race”) and a Hispanic lawyers association that has declared its intention to target Trump’s businesses. But anyone who has a problem with this is obviously a racist.
All white Americans suffer from unconscious negative racial bias which Black American’s perceive as Racism. This as been proven by numerous psychological studies.
Great job today GT! I will be looking for those bracelets at the RNC… Meanwhile, Trump also just nominated the worst candidate from women’s point of view that could ever be nominated. Pence has supported mandating funerals for dead fetuses and not allowing abortion as an option for Down’s syndrome pregnancies. Abortion is chosen about 95% of the time in those cases. We can thank the Reagan era for politicizing reproductive rights. And it still continues today. Thanks Ronnie!
A judge blocked the bill pence signed this year mandating funerals for dead fetuses and disallowing termination of Down’s syndrome pregnancies. Still some hope for Indiana, even with a governor who is so extreme and has inflicted tremendous damage on the people of Indiana.
Democrats are the last people that should be talking about racism. Their party has a whole history or racism. They started the Ku Klux Klan, they voted against the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, they are for minimum wage, social security, the welfare state, abortions, and against school vouchers. Actions speak louder than words.
History lesson (for those who need it):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy
“In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a strategy by Republican Party candidates of gaining political support in the Southern United States by appealing to racism against African Americans.”
I love it when cons forget the rest of us can read, even if they can’t (or won’t).
Interesting how all the trump supporters are not discussing their own candidate. In my own case, I am happy to support Hillary Clinton. She is a far superior candidate to Donald Trump. She has many years of experience, a superior intellect, and is a very capable woman. Republicans were actually happy with her until she became a candidate. Clinton has supported women’s rights, she has advocated for health care, for family leave, she has international credibility as a former secretary of state and US senator from New York, and she is for college students having a path forward with tuition assistance, among other things. I am proud to support her. She will be a long overdue, first woman POTUS.
In terms of what happened with Hillary’s email/Benghazi so-called scandals, I believe that she may have made some mistakes, however, they were not mistakes that were not also made by previous persons who were also Secretary of State. Clearly, it is like the other “scandals” mentioned by her detractors. One is reminded of the passage from Macbeth: “That stress and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
What the “establishment (both parties) politicians, including the Clintons” fear the most is that “money spigot”, at the tax payer’s expense, getting shut down. Unfortunately, too many voters and the likes of the “left-wing political cartoonists” are too dumbed-down to see it. How anyone in their right mind (meaning “sane mind”) can only find fault in one party and totally ignore the (just as numerous and bad) faults in the other party can be considered to have a legitimate opinion is a totally ignorant and biased “a”.
I’ve said it before – The idea that an entitled egoist who’s part of the 1% really has any intention to improve the lives of the ordinary AMerican is laughable. Voting Trump for a return to the days when blue collar workers and the middle class ruled is about as realistic as clicking your heels together… this ain’t Kansas
The Southern Strategy! First, it didn’t exist. Then the conservatives finally grudgingly admitted it in the face of reams of historic evidence and the testimony of people who lived through it, and even its engineers.So now we have to make it so the SS was really just a way for the natural patriotism of white southerners to come to the forefront, so they could revive the practices and attitudes of the gallant South, and hopefully be able to buy and sell humans again one day.Dream on, fellas. Your gyrations offer additional proof of your moral compass, and your fantasies show pretty clearly what you really think.
