Most Old White GOP Men must be defeated - they will not change.
I’m tired of defending old white men like me.
I’m tired of listening to people who say we must reason with them.
I’m tired of hearing about compromise and bipartisanship with them.
Because they (on the whole/at least 70%) are racist and sexist, I truly believe.
I’ve spent a lifetime in southern cities and towns with them.
And while they can be (and often are) very polite and civil in public, that is not their true selves.
Being an old white man who always wears a ball cap (Go Braves!), I blend in with them.
I often go to where they hold their coffee clutches (mornings at McDonalds) and eavesdrop on them.
I have very good hearing despite being an old fart, sitting a few tables away.
Plus, if they see me nearby, I look like them so I am not threatening for them to speak openly.
And the Kavanaugh thing put me over the top.
Here’s some examples of what I heard.
“That woman was a liar, couldn’t remember anything”
“If she wasn’t a little whore, why was she at a drinking party with boys”
“ A lot of girls get boys all worked up to fuck em, then back out at the last minute and cry rape”
“She couldn’t know if it was Kavanaugh, she was a little drunk whore who screwed everyone “.
There was a lot more, most of of it even worse, but you get the picture.
Not one person defended her or said she might be telling the truth.
That’s who these people are.
As I say, I look and sound like these people (same southern accent), but I DONT THINK like them.
Many are your doctors, your lawyers, your business associates, your clergy.
It’s not all stereotypical red neck farmer types that think and feel this way either.
And, it’s not just women that they hate and disparage and think are only good for sex and babies.
That hate blacks, Browns, gays, Jews, Muslims, amongst others.
Anyone that doesn’t look, sound, speak, and THINK like them.
They can not be reasoned with.
Their only news sources are Fox News tv and hate talk radio.
Before Kavanaugh, I tried to understand these people, since I’m one of them physically.
I hoped they had changed by the year 2018.
But, they just went underground somewhat with their bigotry during the Obama years.
Now, with Trump, they feel empowered to say what they want without repercussions.
I hate being an old white man in 2018s America because I am so ashamed and embarrassed of what most (and, yes, I do believe MOST) of what white male America has in its hearts.
***For those saying I’m being racist against a group of people (white men over 50) - please tell me or show me with polling statistics where I’m wrong.
Vote them out on 11/6. Vote for women. Vote for black and Hispanic males. Only vote for older white males who you know aren’t sexist and racist ( a big hint - 99% of the time, they will have a D next to their name - not an R).
