      Normal people aren’t MAGA Republicans, and I clarified between republics and MAGA Republicans deliberately. It’s time for Republicans to say No to Trump and take their party back next election - sit out or vote Harris this election and in a massive defeat MAGA will be destroyed and Republican party can be rebuilt on proper grounds again.

        Republicans have been a cancer going back to Nixon and the southern strategy. There is nothing there to rebuild or redeem. The party and its ideology need to be utterly destroyed.

        Honestly, in a nation whose founding is linked upon slavery & apartheid why do we want to keep a party whose ideological anchor is tied to those same chains ?

    The fact that Republican leaders have to even “urge party members to avoid racist and sexist attacks against Harris” in the first place should tell you all you need to know about how deep the bigotry is embedded in the Republican party.

    Notice how Democrats don’t have to, for example, tell their party members not to use racial slurs when campaigning against Tim Scott.

      Younger Democrats do seem to have a thing about “old white” guys that i don’t think comes off very well to the larger public.

    Hey, so you know how when you hire a new female employee and the boss has to send out an email reminding everyone to resist being racist and sexist?

    Yeah, neither do I. Probably because we don’t hire Republicans.

    They’re finally being honest about who and what they are. It’s what their sexist and racist base want. Their base would vote for them if they dressed up in hooded robes emblazoned with red and black swastikas and burned crosses in the lawn of the Capital. They’re trying to time down their honesty so that they don’t alienate swing voters who might be turned off by the open expression of their sexism and racism and to reduce the risk of mobilizing those who find it abhorent.

    Can you imagine not knowing Republicans are racist and sexist just because they talked about hiding it for a few months?

    Years ago I predicted Republicans in their desperation to win and for lack of an actual popular platform would have to pivot further and further right, appealing to more extremists. This because Democrats effectively absorbed any decent policy platforms they once held. They are thus only holding on by 1) Lies, 2) Right-wing nut jobs, and 3) The Electoral College + Gerrymandering.

    Now, they’ve forked themselves. If they try to put the brakes on appealing to racist sexist uneducated bigots, then they alienate those same people and it backfires for them. They’ve hitched their party to Trump and I’m loving it.

      This is why they now openly embrace un-democratic and un-American views about how to run a government. If they seize power, they will do everything possible to have minority rule (theirs) encoded into the system they use to replace the American one.

    Supposedly she slept her way up the ranks. Wouldn’t be surprised now a days, honestly. Not because she’s Kamala, but society as a whole is chit tier.
