Another new low for Democrats

Discussion in 'Politics' started by harami, Oct 31, 2017.

  1. A little-appreciated aspect of modern politics is that the democrats are free to pander to every ethnic or activist group. They make naked racist appeals to blacks, hispanics, muslims plus all the LGBTQ assholes. Republicans however are barred from appealing to their biggest group of supporters, ie normal white people.

    Ads like this actually help republicans because they highlight the fact that we are in an us-versus-them environment. The ad's attempted emotional trigger is so obvious and over the top as to be laughable, but legal residents will resent the message that legitimate concern about immigration is tantamount to running children down with a truck. That's exactly why the ad was withdrawn.

    Illegal immigrants, not gang bangers though.

    You mean you take the side of the confederate flag waving blood and soil demonstrator that runs over crowds of people?

    Great, no problem. So Sanctuary Cities exist to protect illegal immigrants. We agree.

    Are illegal immigrants in violation of Federal Law?

    Awesome. We're making real progress here in our discussion. And I sincerely appreciate it.

    Can you show me at what point (time index, etc) the above political advertisements, or any other political advertisements reference anyone other than either gang bangers or illegal aliens?

    Again, what matters is the stereotype that transpires to all Hispanics. The same is true for the Trump ad.

    But, I’m about to really throw you guys off, illegal immigration isn’t a crime. It is neither a felony nor a misdemeanor. It’s actually a civil offense. So depicting illegal immigrants as criminals is another misnomer.
