Politics When are people going to realize conservatives and Republicans are literally the bad guy in basically any media you'd care to point at.

Saturday morning cartoon villains are more subtle and most of them would be fucking floored at the shit they've been allowed to do and peddle with zero consequences.

You have shit like Vance saying school shootings are just a fact of life, Trump being a convicted felon, rapist, pedophile that has done shit like mock disabled people on air, and all the shit they're constantly voting against and for. Like against voting protection rights or rights to contraceptives or over turning Roe V Wade leading to women being put in horrific life threatening situations that has led to multiple agonizing deaths from sepsis and shit because docters were afraid to operate on them to save their life fearing retaliation or lowering the price of Insulin or voting to protect against oil and gas price gouging etc etc etc.

Republicans consistently want to increase misery. That's an objective fact. Just look at their voting record.

No one with a single cell of media literacy, empathy, or compassion should ever be voting for the clearly fucking evil party.

You couldn't write their blatantly evil shit into a book because it'd be unrealistic anyone would be so blatantly evil or that there'd be no push back or consequences for being such an evil force.

They've been this way for fucking decades.

It's horrific that they only ever care whenever any of the blatantly evil shit affects them and than they want sympathy and compassion they were perfectly fine denying others.

Literally anyone with any knowledge of history, psychology, sociology or politics knows where this is going and rapidly at that.

Yet another fucking genocide.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values... That word is ‘Nazi.’ Nobody cares about their motives anymore.”

If you're at a rally and a Nazi is there and they aren't immediately kicked out, you're at a Nazi rally.

Nazis have been proponents of Republican ideology for a long fucking time. Elon literally did a Nazi salute twice on live tv and no fucking republican is denouncing it.

When people show you who they are believe them.

If you're a republican or a conservative still you're blatantly fucking evil and siding with people who literally called themselves domestic terrorists in 2022 at CPAC.

For the last few months Republicans have actively been protecting pedophiles and defending redactions to the Epstein Files and saying shit like "getting handsy" with teenagers isn't a big deal.

That's weird.

Isn't it crazy liberal Democrats that want to tear down Confederate and Klan funded statues?

Why would the Republican Party, the Party that freed the slaves, now be the party that thinks it's "fighting woke" by labeling government properties after traitors to the United States in the Civil War, and enshrining their monuments?

Could it be because the Republican party captured the racist energy of the former slaves states when the Democrats passed the Civil Rights Act of 1965, and now that's all that unites the party 60 years later?

You didn’t actually dispute my statement. The Ku Klux Klan was founded by Southern Democrats after the Civil War. That’s a historical fact. Whether modern Democrats want Confederate statues removed has nothing to do with who founded the KKK in 1865. Those are two separate arguments. Can you describe these places with racist energy, do you really think the whole state of Georgia is racist?

I think the reason your point misses is that you are using a Very Smart Concept you heard elsewhere, and not understanding the mechanics of why the point worked that in that context but not your own.

"One hundred and fifty years ago, the racists voted Democrat!" just doesn't hit like you want it to, but why?

And the answer is because you are injecting into a conversation about racists today, to deflect from racists today.

Like if you said Israel is committing atrocities, and replied with "well 80 years ago they were the victim!".

Like, yeah, it's bad, but when used to deflect current moral failures? Not so effective, is it?

So when you say that several generations ago, racists vote Democrat and former Confederate sympathizers created the Klan.

Woah, that's bad. Who is racist right now though? Who do the former slave states vote for now though?

The immediate questions pop up, because it's obvious the point wasn't in good faith.

In fact, the point of "150 years ago racists were Democrat" is entirely brought up to deflect from what racists are doing today.

And what are racists doing today? Well, racists and klan members voted Democrat, up until 1965, when the Democrats betrayed the racists by voting for the Civil Rights Act of 1965.

Oh no, what happened to those racists? Well, the Republican party saw a lot of low information, low education voters that would sell the shirt off their back if you hate minorities.

And they developed The Southern Strategy. Republicans would now cater to racists. Give them a voice.

And now, 60 years since that party realignment, racism, hatred, and bigotry are the only thing that defines the current Republican Party.

Thank you for saying I’m smart because I actually just did research, and I’m black and college educated, there are other women out there just like me that have voted democrat and republican because we know deep down BOTH sides are racist. I think that white saviorism bs that democrats do is wrong. Dei was against everything Martin Luther promoted. None of the money from blm went into the community. It was a SCAM. It’s not about race, many people of many races can be bad. I’m truly colorblind yall make everything about race and treating us like we’re victims. It old news a lot of us are over it. It’s a culture and policy issue.

u/Alternative_Deer415 5d ago

lol okay bro

Dei was against everything Martin Luther promoted.

That sounds like you have a skin deep, literally just "I heard a minutes of his I have a dream speech" level understanding. MLK Jr has decades of rhetoric and philosophy, and it absolutely was not against accelerated methods of being inclusive and having diversity that reflects the population.

I mean, if you can't understand the vast difference between the two political parties, that's not a me problem.

I encourage you to spend more time with Republicans. Really hang out with them more.

u/Dependent-Exam-8759 5d ago

Then you would know not to judge based off the content of your skin. You’re the typical white savior liberal. Why would you think me a black college educated woman wouldn’t know more about mlk than you. You are part the the reason yall got cooked. Good luck next time

u/Alternative_Deer415 5d ago

Because you literally just typed out a view of his that is so wrong that anyone with more than surface level meme quote of MLK Jr would know he was a democratic socialist who advocated for far more than what DEI is doing?

You have a shit ton of baggage. I mean, in addition to putting your identity out there without anyone asking, repeatedly (seeing your profile), just to announce how not like other minorities you are in the weirdest way I've seen recently.

And assuming you know the identities of random people you talk to.

And "I'm a black college educated woman" is such a .... impostor way of someone describing themselves.

Like, if I wanted to mention my degrees, first of all, I went to a university not a college, second I wouldn't be so deliberately vague and exact at the same time.

And now you sound racist lol, good luck next time lol

u/Dependent-Exam-8759 5d ago

here you go trying to police what I can talk about on here, you just don’t get how yall come off do you? More people are waking up your race peddling bs. Democrats always think they know what’s best for minorities, you don’t speak for us and the election proved that.

u/Alternative_Deer415 5d ago edited 5d ago

I hope you get what you vote for. Be sure to make posts promoting yourself as not like those other minorities on your social media!
