If Republicans could stop being so racist they would sweep into power and rule for 1000 years, and yet it will never happen.
Are you sure about that?
A lot of the republicans’ voter base is white racists. For them, the republicans being racist isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.
They're barely sentient cretins programmed by right-wing media. The base would vote Republican even if Republicans pivoted to Black nationalism, as long as the people on TV and the internet tell them to.
They may do, anyway, and they're already mimicking third Reich symbols and language, right down to the term, "Reich". Also autocorrect insists on capitalizing that odious word.
They will certainly try, but without some kind of mass support they can't hold on to power. This isn't Nazi Germany where one ethnic population absolutely dominated. At the very least the country would collapse.
That's probably going to happen, either way. It's an ivory tower built on faulty foundations and swampy-loamy soil. Without serious, deep reflection and lots of internal work, I don't see how it can continue. We needed serious value shift, whether the tower falls or not. The tower falling may be what forces that to happen.
TL;dr I see how other nations have called us the great Satan.
If Democrats could lay off guns they'd win a hell of a lot more, too.
Wrong. Even if liberals and Democrats were progun and pro free-for-all-gun (which actually is what the issue is), Republicans would still say Dems are anti gun and conservatives would believe it
See: J'Biden signing an anti-asylum seeker immigration order and shutting down the border in violation of interational law.
Republicans just say it's an amnesty order for open borders 😒
That's basically the only difference between the parties. And abortion.
That's not true at all.
But those are basically the only three issues anyone pays attention to.
You're right I forgot about trans issues, which is funny, because I'm trans in a red state.
I guess I don't really think about Democrats as pro-trans. They're just anti-anti-trans.
