We may be heading towards another civil war. While people like to think slavery was the only cause of the war, it was more complicated than that. We have many different cultures and sometimes those cultures collide. I am a small government Republican, which means I support abortion as the government should stay out of an adult's medical care. I am not religious, and I'm not too fond of the mixing of abortion and religion. While I respect religions and do attend mass on occasion, I do not want your sky God dictating what I can do with my body.
The problem is both parties are spewing things that don't really solve anything.
I mean this with no insult. You’re in the wrong party if you want any of those things. And I’m curious, what DO you like about the Republican Party today, and don’t say taxes.
No I’m in the right party. I’m not a rabid racist like the democrats. I’m against large government. I’m against wages theft through taxation.
You know that slavery, kkk we’re all democrat things and still are?
There is nothing positive in me about the democrats.
According to whom? Both of these things have always been far right ideologies. Are you forgetting the two main parties switched in name a century ago?
The parties never switched. That’s a myth.
The Democrats started both the kkk and slavery.
The Republican Party was built on anti slavery.

It objectively is not a myth.

So what policies changed? Name 3 politicians that swapped sides.
You want to know why you can't? Because it was a pr campaign. Thats it.
The switch happened over several decades. The goal posts you manufactured don't make sense.

Did you even read my citations before you started trolling? You do not act in good faith.
Your citations are wrong, biased opinion pieces.
No, mine are accurate. It is well known the parties never switched, it is also well known you didn't read the citations.
"It's well known the sun is purple"
Because the switch wasn't instantaneous, nor affiliation/group based. Individuals themselves changed their thoughts and party affiliation, not just party affiliation.
The KKK literally, currently supports GOP candidates. Trump was caught doing housing segregation. The GOP regularly gerrymanders to reduce the power of black voters. The GOP regularly shuts down voting places in black neighborhoods to keep voting lines long. White nationalists are waving the flag of Trump.
The democratic party is a shit show. But the GOP is a god damn dumpster fire. Our political system regularly elects racist old men, on both sides. What did you expect?
At least on my side of the line there ain't white nationalists. That's plenty for me.

But somehow democrats are the ones that are racist.
Thank you for proving my point.
You're associating black people with riots, death, and destruction. You're telling on yourself, and your party.
Nobody brought up BLM except for you. You're the one making you’re associating black people with riots, death, and destruction.
It's 100% on you.
You're the one saying black people = riots, death, destruction.
My dude you're doing it yourself.
Your ability to manufacture terrible goalposts I never agreed to speaks far more, especially considering your statements equating black people to rioting, death, and destruction.
As many as it takes for you to understand your question to be invalid.
