Are Democrats Ever Going to Get Over Their 2016 Butthurt?

@bijouxbroussard When did I promise to be neutral? I do try to present both sides, but I'm not neutral.

@Theseus Left bad, right good! I just "presented both sides."

@Lincoln Left socialist, right fascist. Different ends of the same turd.

@Theseus And you lean towards the fascist side, right ? You sure don’t seem to criticize them.

@Theseus I assure you, there's no socialism or fascism to concern yourself with in this country.

@bijouxbroussard No. I lean libertarian. I detest toxic politics on both sides but, as thoroughly asshattish as repugnicans have been, they don't hold a candle to demoncrats.

@bijouxbroussard The KKK and The No Nothing Party never really left the US,they just get rebranded every couple of years

@bookerdana That’s true. The “Party of Lincoln” and the “Dixiecrats” are no more; ideologically they’ve actually switched sides in the 21st century.

There were KKK in my little corner of Paradise,not thirty miles from NYC,as late as the forties and there was a lady on my block who used to spout the John Birch line..these people didn't like my ilk! @bijouxbroussard

@bijouxbroussard Except that democrats are still trying to enslave people. They've just chosen different means. Fortunately for African Americans, they've now become "woke" to the scheme.

@Theseus How are they trying to “enslave” people ? And some African Americans are “woke”. The other 8% belong to the party with people who’d [b]still[/b] never [b]vote[/b] for a black president.

@bijouxbroussard Dems have striven to enslave people by various governmental dependency schemes (e.g., welfare "entitlements," nationalized health "care," etc.), by keeping them in urban reservations (public housing ghettos), and through public indoctrination centers whose curricula are DESIGNED to rob students of the capacity to think critically, logically and rationally.

And judging by the cerebral caliber of the cohort known as the millennial generation, their latter attempt at intellectual enslavement has paid huge dividends.

The Democratic Party was, is and will ever be the party of slavery.

@Theseus Does that mean that Republicans have freed folks to starve, remain uneducated and homeless ? Because they’re the ones who want more babies born while they cut social programs, access to affordable education or healthcare. But they’re all for more [b]prisons[/b]. That’s an acceptable GOP way for the government to take care of people in the 21st century.

@bijouxbroussard [b]Repugnicans, while I seldom agree with them about, well, pretty much anything, HAVE freed many classes of people over the years. The first ones freed were, of course, AA slaves. After that came the many who were slavishly dependent on government, and who now are participating members of society.

If that sounds heartless to you, consider which is worse; a drug pusher who will do everything in his/her power to keep you supplied in your fix of choice (for a price [or vote]), or an addiction counselor who liberates you from the slavery of addiction.

When you can answer that question honestly, you'll begin to understand the true evil of leftist ideology. Leftists do not want to "help" the poor, the uneducated, etc. If they did they'd develop programs designed to empower those in need to provide for themselves. No, leftists want to CONTROL them, and to force everyone else to pay for their perverted vision of "help."[/b]

@Theseus I don’t agree with you about that, and neither do today’s white supremacists. If they did, they wouldn’t have joined the GOP in droves. After all, they think [b]they’re[/b] entitled, because they think in terms of MAWA, not MAGA (Make America White Again); plus they have Trump’s ear in that regard. And it’s part of what Southern Strategy managed to accomplish. The thing about the Democratic Party that you’ve forgotten is that it [b]still[/b] contains the full spectrum in terms of ideology: liberals, moderates [b]and[/b] some conservatives, even. The Republicans ran off their few liberals and many of their moderates have left as well. So the Democrats represent more people and ideas than can be pigeonholed. The left is who’s most vocally fighting Trump at present because of their feeling about immigrants and women’s reproductive rights, which the Republicans are actively trying to restrict. You know, “smaller government—small enough to fit in a woman’s uterus”. 😡
