Are there any GOP running that are NOT 2020 election deniers?
My #1 criteria for deciding who to vote for. If the candidate believes the 2020 election was illegitimate, I see no reason to vote for that person, because I would then believe elections are pointless.
Right now all the Rs on my ballot are election deniers. So I guess I am voting all D.

Lawless Americans continue to commit voter fraud so concerned Americans should encourage lawmakers to install common sense restrictions to try to make it much harder for crooks to get away with it.
@marke No, it’s the truth, unfortunately. Both voter fraud and voter suppression have been the right’s stock in trade. The right leaning members of the Supreme Court helped disabled the Voters Rights Act of 1965, which had protected voters from segregationists (Conservative Southern Democrats).
In July 2021, in Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority upheld (6–3) two voting laws in Arizona that predated the 2020 election, one limiting third-party ballot collection and another requiring that ballots cast in the wrong precinct be discarded. The Court found that voting laws that disproportionately burden members of racial minority groups do not necessarily violate the VRA, despite the act’s prohibition of any “standard, practice, or procedure…which results in a denial or abridgement of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color” (Section 2).
@bijouxbroussard Democrats fought to preserve slavery and then invented the KKK to stand in opposition to republican efforts to integrate blacks into society after the Civil War. Democrats fighting desegregation far outnumbered republicans opposing civil rights well into the 1960s. Modern democrats oppose voting securities against fraud and falsely claim voting securities inhibit black votes. That is a lie. Voting securities do not inhibit black votes, they inhibit voter fraud.

When was that again?
Didn't I just see something about a hand-picked lackey of Ron Desantis and his shiny white hood? You're not accusing Ron Desantis of being a Democrat, are you?
@marke Like I said, Conservative Southern Democrats. Progressive Republicans (not the ones in 2022) were the ones who supported the Civil Rights Act, (1964)and the Voters Rights’ Act (1965), bills that were authored and passed during a Democratic presidential administration. Your revisionism can’t change that. And I was alive then, just like you were.

That’s the lie, or you’re extremely naive. When the "securities" (purging voter rolls, for example) is happening largely only in certain neighborhoods or wards, it’s voter suppression, and there’s already been a precedent.
In several states, hundreds of thousands of voters are being marked ‘inactive’ and purged from voter rolls just months before key elections. The move will likely disenfranchise millions of voters across the country and largely affect Democrat-leaning voters.
In Ohio: The state released names of 235,000 voters it planned to purge from voter rolls in September. Around 20,000 were confirmed as active voters in previous Ohio elections, from Franklin County, a Democratic stronghold. This was only revealed after amateur investigative work.
In Wisconsin: A conservative Wisconsin law firm has filed a complaint against the Wisconsin Elections Commission hoping to get 234,000 voters purged for failure to respond to a mailing which updates voter rolls. The commission released a statement that said: “the commission is confident that it is complying with Wisconsin law.” Instead of purging those who don’t respond from the rolls after 30 days, the commission has decided to wait until after the April 2021 election day.
The head of One Wisconsin Institute, Analiese Eicher, told CNN that the filed complaint would have a bigger negative impact on those that vote Democrat.
In Kentucky: Kentucky Democrats just fought to have 175,000 names restored to the rolls after they were prematurely moved to “inactive” earlier this year. Those voters should have remained active until 2022. Kentucky is the home state of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell who is already been accused of failing to secure elections.
Texas: Earlier this year, Texas attempted to purge thousands of voters claiming they weren’t U.S. citizens. The erroneous information led to the resignation of the Texas Secretary of State David Whitley after a civil rights group sued, but not before Trump latched on to the false report of illegal voters:
Like Strom Thurmond, the racism just moved to the GOP—but today’s the racists are alive and well. They’re the folks who still call themselves "The Party of Lincoln” while waving the flag of the traitors who assassinated him ! How does that work ?
DeSantis did the same thing to those Texas migrants that a group of segregationists did to a group of Southern blacks. https://similarworlds.com/politics/4467085-DeSantis-using-the-1960s-Segregationists-playbook

Blacks and whites make jokes about stupid democrat KKK members of yesteryear. Both black mockery of the KKK and white mockery of the KKK can be funny but some Americans do not appreciate that kind of humor so mocking past foolishness should be avoided just as tearing down historical monuments should be avoided because of those who get offended by such things.
@marke It's sad if you have to go back 150 years to find a time when your party wasn't complete pieces of shit.
150 years ago, conservative racists were Democrats. Thanks to Nixon's Southern Strategy, they're all Republicans today. Find me a KKK member under age 100 who isn't a Trump fluffer.
White racism of the past involved hating blacks without a cause. Modern racism involves hating whites without a cause.
If you think white racism has gone anywhere, I have a bridge to sell you. It’s alive and well. And it’s still coming from the top. And the people still waving the confederate flags are white supremacists. Like they always have been.
@LeopoldBloom The modern KKK is not dangerous. It is a boys' club whose stupid members drink beer and talk big while doing nothing. The racist Marxist BLM club, however, does not just talk. BLM advocates the destruction of capitalism, the murder of cops, the mistreatment of whites and republicans, the looting and torching of businesses, and so forth.
@marke You’re woefully misinformed. The KKK has killed thousands of people of all races since its inception, men women, children, and they still are. They are the reason groups like BLM exist. If there were no KKK, no American Nazi party, no white supremacist groups, BLM (which has non-black members, btw) wouldn’t have come into being. The KKK is racist and has no black members. BLM has attracted all kinds of people, as you can plainly see:
Some or many people waving Confederate flags may by that gesture simply be protesting black disrespect for whites, cops, the American flag, and so forth.
I don't know about the KKK of the democrat south of a hundred years ago. I specifically said the modern KKK is a lot of stupid rubes in tiny groups talking big while doing nothing. The BLM, on the other hand, is a very large group of stupid people who have participated in the murder of cops, the murder of republicans and white people, the looting of hundreds of businesses, the destruction of hundreds of millions of dollars in property, and so forth.
@bijouxbroussard All humans the world over are brothers descended from Adam and worthy of respect for being made in God's image. However, wicked humans who deliberately rebel against God and side with the devil in committing and promoting evil deserve no respect for that.
@marke So that must mean you also condemn the people who attacked our Capitol building on Jan 6, right ? Smearing excrement in the hallways, causing the deaths of police officers, if you’re going to defend that you must really hate this country.
I do condemn the violence committed by rubes from both sides of the political aisle on Jan 6, but the violent morons were only a small remnant of the total body of protesters that day.
