Or exodus of Democrats to Dixiecrats to Republicans. Many dixiecrats retired before they joined the republicans, but the Republicans were more than happy to take that mantle and bring it to life via the Southern Strategy.

Yeah, I’d love a strong central government with promotion of civil rights.
I don’t think it’s that at all. Its that they know they’re the party of racists and need to project to the early 1900s to gaslight us.
I’m aware of the history, it was more of rhetorical question, but thank you for knowing it and trying to educate others.
Yep, I’m familiar with the history, but it’s strange (but not really) that they don’t talk about anything after the Civil Rights Act
Even putting aside slavery (which is a tall order), we can talk about racism that occurs to this day. Hell, let’s just talk about the last 10 years: black people pay more for mortgages, credit cards, auto loans, etc. all things being equal, higher sentencing for the same crimes, more likely to get higher fines for…
I’m getting really, really confused about the whole confederacy and kkk are Democrats line of thought.
And 90%+ are white.
They aren’t enforceable, but the costs of defending them serves to discourage people from speaking about their time serving Trump. Google SLAPP suits- this is a functional equivalent.
It’s the equivalent of a strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP).
This is some old school conservatism/fascism- women should not be in the workplace, they should be at home, raising our children. It was those pesky feminists that caused all this to happen (and not eroding of wages as a result of corporate greed).
Nothing good will come of this.
Yeah, if Fairfax and Northam both resign, we’ll get a Republican- unless they pull the appoint a replacement, then resign scheme (which is dangerous). That Republicann will do more damage to PoC in VA than Northam ever did. It’s a shitty choice, but it’s between a racist who seems to be doing some good for PoC, and…
I welcome it. Now when they prove that it wasn’t “fake news,” he loses, and has to pay the costs of the defendants, I wonder what the justification will be then.
Might be. It’s sort of the standard GOP MO. Do something shitty, but with some tiny semblance of plausible deniability. When the person reacts strongly, act SHOCKED that they’re being so irrational, biased, etc. and imply they’re not impartial enough to do the job.
Stone’s lawyers filed something called a “Notice of Apology” so he could apologize for the posting. Here’s the thing- a “Notice of Apology” isn’t really a recognized filing (e.g. motion to dismiss, motion to reconsider, etc.). It’s just something they made up because their fucko of a client still thinks he’s invincible…
Tourism, ecotourism, shipping, etc. They’re along the Caribbean.
According to Tea Party Uncle....
- The Democrats started the KKK (which is true, but the parties essentially ‘switched’ in the 1960s, after the Dixiecrats broke free). Therefore, Democrats are still the KKK.
Legit question: Does he have a sense of humor? I’ve never heard him crack a joke- his attempts seem to be him mocking other people.
Yeah, there’s definitely an angle. They will later use it as an excuse to fund Christianist, right wing universities, conservative private schools, etc.
