    Yup - this throws cold water on the 'Republicans is raciss' argument.

  2. Yes, it's really conservatives are racist. Especially backwards ignorant religiously deluded ones found in large numbers in the south.

    So you are calling the many black conservative Baptists in the South racist?

    The below is surprising.

    As she saw it, the party ostensibly committed to progressive values had become complicit in perpetuating the status quo. Omar says the “hope and change” offered by Barack Obama was a mirage. Recalling the “caging of kids” at the U.S.-Mexico border and the “droning of countries around the world” on Obama’s watch, she argues that the Democratic president operated within the same fundamentally broken framework as his Republican successor.

    “We can’t be only upset with Trump. … His policies are bad, but many of the people who came before him also had really bad policies. They just were more polished than he was,” Omar says. “And that’s not what we should be looking for anymore. We don’t want anybody to get away with murder because they are polished. We want to recognize the actual policies that are behind the pretty face and the smile.”

    No, it's really liberals that are the bigots, intolerant, and the ones that marginalize people.

    It must be all so confusing for you. You have liberals saying that Obama and Trump are exacting the same and other liberals saying that Obama was the most awesome evah.

    Again, this country is divided by region and ideology, not party. Below is the vote on civil rights by region, southern being the states that made up the confederacy.

    Do I really need to pull up the vote on the 13th amendment or do you guys concede?

    Concede what?
    That the racist Dems of the South magically became Pubs as a result of a 'Southern Strategy' myth?
    Nope - that didn't happen.

    Of course, the numbers you posted above are correct.

    But otherwise, the myth of Nixon appealing to the white racists of the South is a load of phony baloney Lib garbage projection.

    Ahh, but the GOP apologized to the NAACP for having taken advantage of racial issues to win southern states as a strategy.

    That’s not a liberal projection, it’s a conservative confession.

  10. You're totally right. Funny, that is exactly the way the alt-right sees it too. Losing, apologizing and criticizing their own side are what conservatives do best.
