It's the Racist party

[vlyons]

After the antics at last week-end's CPAC, the Republican party is now the Racist party - and blatantly so. Between Trump's snake analogy calling all immigrants as snakes, and calling it a mistake to have made Michadel Steel's appointment as chair of the GOP, because he was a black man; it's ever so clear to me that the old GOP is now the blatant Racist Party. And that is what I shall call them henceforth.

As an aside, I want to point out an experience I had last week. I recently moved to Dallas, and last week I went to update my driver's license, so I could vote in the Texas primary. There were about 200 people, waiting for their number to be called. I was one of very very few white people. Most folks were Hispanic, Black, and a few Asians. These were people from all walks of life. America is no longer a white nation. And that is exactly what the Racist Party fears the most.

Trump will never sign a compromise Dreamers' bill, because he wants to deport all the Dreamers. And his Racist enablers in congress support deportation, because they know that most Dreamers, if naturalized as citizens, will vote Dem.

BTW: I early voted ln last week's Texas primary. 11 pages on the ballot. I voted a straight Dem ticket, even where there was only one candidate. And I took race in, as part of my consideration for how to cast my vote. Let's just say that there were a lot of Hispanic surnames on the ballot.

1. It is the Racist Party. They had seventeen candidates to be their leader and they chose Trump,

who has proven time and time again that he is a white supremacist. Despite being the most racist president in modern history, he is supported by every single GOP representative and by the overwhelming majority of Rupugnants. It is hard for a Republican to argue against those facts.

2. trump has not changed the republican party

He has exposed them. The racist bent of the GOP goes back to before Reagan. I believe it started with the "Southern Strategy" after Johnson Administration passed civil rights laws.

trump has also exposed evangelicals being OK with misogynists and child molesters. Fiscal conservatives being OK with exploding the national debt. Law and order party attacking FBI and scapegoating local police departments.

GOP fears democracy - fair elections are the last thing they want. Gerrymandering whining fit about Pennsylvania. Voter suppression nationwide. GOP is a fascist and money loving organized crime syndicate in control of American Democracy. They have been pursing this since the 1960's.

3. Could not agree with you more

But now labelling the GOP as the Racist party is a strategic move. Every year, America becomes less and less white. We need to energize all those non-whites to register and vote. Many people don't understand economic issues. But everyone understands what racism is all about. Never miss an opportunity to call the GOP the Racist Party. The Greedy Racist Party.

4. Not all non-whites are immigrants..

They are in fact US citizens, several generations...

5. Yes they are

But that fact never occurs to racists whites. That's the whole point of racism. Whites see non-whites as the "other," "them, not us."
