Impeaching President Trump

[feniin]

I love that Republicans can't ever admit that the parties changed political alignment/ideology and insist that the current GOP is the party of Lincoln in more than just name.

you need a history lesson on how the parties switched platforms

And you keep implying I want to call you racist. I'm not sure what's up with that.

Nope, sorry, just more lies.


Of course, another major strategy of covering up racist Democratic roots is saying that it isn’t the party today that it once was.

Some people even say the parties flipped at some point… so Democrats get credit for Lincoln (who was a Republican), and Republicans get credit for the KKK (which was founded by Democrats).

Well, when exactly did the parties suddenly and miraculously switch platforms?

Neither party added proposed anti-KKK positions to its platform at the 1924 conventions.

In 1963, the Democrat Governor of Alabama, George Wallace, stood blocking a doorway, refusing to allow a black girl to enter a white school that had just been desegregated by law.

And if the Democrats were still racist in 1963, that means Democrat hero Franklin D. Roosevelt was part of the old racist Democratic party. (Big surprise, that the guy who put Japanese Americans in concentration camps was racist).

Some people would say that the flip occurred with the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. After all, George Wallace lost the primary against Johnson, which seems to be a rejection of Wallace’s racism.

Plus, Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Again, possibly factually correct except for the assertion that the KKK was founded by the democratic party. But it's a disingenuous, bad faith arguement based on some kind of alternate history created by ultra partisan hacks.

But it's irrelevant because who's running the KKK, proud boys and patriot prayer RIGHT NOW?

History is never irrelevant. Inconvenient at times but never irrelevant.

From History.com:

Most prominent in counties where the races were relatively balanced, the KKK engaged in terrorist raids against African Americans and white Republicans at night, employing intimidation, destruction of property, assault, and murder to achieve its aims and influence upcoming elections. In a few Southern states, Republicans organized militia units to break up the Klan. In 1871, the Ku Klux Act passed Congress, authorizing President Ulysses S. Grant to use military force to suppress the KKK. The Ku Klux Act resulted in nine South Carolina counties being placed under martial law and thousands of arrests. In 1882, the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Ku Klux Act unconstitutional, but by that time Reconstruction had ended and the KKK had faded away.

Southern racists are going to do everything they can to ignore their own hypocrisy while following the Trump cult. Can't help that. Only thing left to do is put money into education to help prevent this shit from happening in another generation.

The Democratic party is full of racists (anti-white) and sexists (anti-male).

I bet you wear that badge proudly too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Keep those personal attacks coming, big boy.


Back to the topic at hand:

Trump is getting impeached and it's going to be hilarious to watch the cultists contort themselves through all the mental gymnastics they'll need to claim he's innocent.

A new puppet probably won't change anything but at least we might get someone who doesn't suck Bibi's dick.

Personal attack? Do you mean like how you call people that disagree with you racist? You do that often.
