IF the Republicans can keep from sticking their heads up their asses, which is A BIG IF, this could well be the end of the end of the Democrat Party, once and for all.
The Dems have been trying to chip away at the South, particularly Texas first. Shift a few percent of our many black voters to the Republican camp, then it’s simply OVER in Texas. Other states that are purple, like NC and VA, given their high percentages of blacks, become red again. And finally the Upper Midwest, already purple, with a slight red tinge, become SOLID RED with the shift.
The Dems wind up as a REGIONAL PARTY, lucky to pull more than 30% of the EVs in presidential elections, and not much better in the House and Senate.
But again, that all depends on elected Republicans, and those running, not making asses of themselves, which ALWAYS seems to be the case.
So my advice to the party, IF they really want to put an end to the Democrats as a national party - GET SOME TRAINING. Even if you have issues with blacks, learn to KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES - you don’t have to spill out your life and feelings when you run for office, you don’t have to be a white high school girl on Facebook - just learn to KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES. If the media is leading you to saying something ‘off-color’, then STOP! and don’t say anything...act dumb if necessary.
For example, most people here (if not everyone) believes that the cops, as a matter of policy, do not hunt down blacks for sport, and that if a black is killed by the cops, it’s likely a justified shooting - not always, but likely. That’s our default position, and there is nothing wrong with that view ON THIS SITE.
But if you’re running for office and you answer that way, you may well have created a commercial that ends your career. How about, instead, saying something like: “Every case is different, and there are certainly some bad cops, so I won’t pre-judge, I’ll only give a case-by-case opinion after seeing all the facts.”
WATCH WHAT YOU SAY, Republicans, and perhaps our kids and grand kids will have a country worth living in.
Why do we want this a-hole on our side ?
Just a month ago he was the stupidest, most ludicrous moron out there !
He thinks he’s the reincarnate of Jesus, And have you seen his videos and heard him rant before ? He’s Certifiable !
He thinks he’s the smartest person alive and has declared himself “The voice of today’s generation” and “A modern day ________ (Insert any innovator, like Ford)” He says that he is the leader of everyone below the age of 30.
This guy is a nutbag, and I don’t want him. Lets watch him take in all of this right-wing history and then declare that the earth is flat (Yeah, he’s a flat-earther too)
Add Florida to that list. If we can get even a small percentage of Black folks voting GOP, Florida will be solid Red again. It’s inner city Black and Hispanic and Northern transplant voters that keep the Dems competitive here. Get even 5% of Black folks voting GOP and it’s over.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like where men were free. ~ Ronald Reagan
