Why Is It So Hard To Just Call The GOP The "Racist/Bigoted" Party Publicly, Openly & Endlessly.

[TheMastersNemesis]

Forget all the niceties just label the GOP for what it really is. Forget about respect of civility with these cretins. We all know what they are and we all know what they do and are doing. The Flint funding, the treatment of civil rights issues, the anti minority legislation they push all the time, the refusal to address immigration reform, Voter ID laws, etc.

They play the racist card 24/7 yet few people will just call them out to their face and just keep shouting it. Bury the bastards with it. Greet them with it. Chastise them with it institutionally and their reps and candidates personally. Just speak it to them when you greet them. Hello Racist McConnel, Hello Racist Ryan. Make them not want to even see you. Just go at them with a viciousness and a vengeance they inflict on others.

Just go out of your way to really piss them off. Treat them like the scum they are.

1. I assume you already do this.

How do they react?

12. Proudly with out shame of their title or ... or denounce it by saying fuck that and not tolderate ..

...it but they should not be able to carry on a conversation as if the title deoesn't exist or doesn't matter any longer if the M$M was doing its job.

2. mcconnell and ryan aren't racist themselves but they are part of a party that is made up

of a significant number of racists which is how trump got nominated.

3. So reconciliation is possible after the Reckoning

on Nov 8th when they're wiped out electorally.

Do you think that's possible? I'm not sure, every time I think there whipped they're like the blood suckers on Strain.

7. And Sheldon Adelson is Eldritch Palmer

Seriously. Old and shriveled and full of greed and hate, rolling around in his electric wheelchair, escorted by giant (white) bodyguards in tailored suits. It's fucking weird, and is so much like the villain in The Strain it freaks me out.

(I see him at stuff occasionally; he and my stepfather went to Hebrew school together)

8. Ha!

5. The sad answer is that it might do more harm than good.

Most of the people who agree with the criticism are already voting for Clinton, so the question is what votes it would affect.

Upside: Conventional, quasi-decent Republicans who are too conservative but are uncomfortable with Trump might find their discomfort level increased to the point where they don't vote for him.
Downside: There are white working-class voters whose economic interests are with the Democrats but who are resentful of social and demographic changes. People like them used to be predominant in this country and now they're not. Many of the things they're used to have been called racist or bigoted. Attacking Trump that way could push them into standing beside him.

It's far from clear that the upside would outweigh the downside.

I'm more inclined to rely on class warfare. Trump and Clinton are both rich, but only Trump will actively strive to make the rich richer at the expense of everyone else.

11. yes, true... but it would be great if they media were more honest about this

It also just becomes a partisan attack if only the Dems say it.

[meow2u3]

15. So instead of attacking tRump as racist and bigoted

Attack him as a coward. Show white working-class voters that Trump never fights his own battles, never says anything to your face unless he has hordes of supporters to back him up, and will never attack anyone his own size or status. That is the behavior of a coward.

Trumpanzees love the cruelty, racism, and bigotry, but I doubt they'll stand behind a coward once he's outed as one.

[Jim Lane]

16. Yes, "coward" is another good attack, along with "tool of the rich". (n/)

6. Grumpy Old Palefaces . . . nt

[TheKentuckian]

9. Because between elections too many of our people want similar policies and to "meet them in the

middle" based off of "80% agreement" to dare ruffle such feathers.

[uponit7771]

10. +1, the M$M is normalizing their racism when they DON'T call them that

[Fast Walker 52]

13. lots of people DO this, and conservatives ALWAYS muddle the water with charges of Dems being the

REAL racists, Hillary said super-predator, Robert Byrd was KKK, etc

[spanone]

14. since they are 100% behind trump, it shouldn't be hard at all.

the media treats trump as if he were an even competitor ....

i don't think trump is bright at all. not in the least.
