@raphjd Ok. It's too bad you see the world and other people in that way. I can't imagine what it's like being so negative and hateful. But if it works for you.

@blablarg18 Your grasp of history is indicative of why many Americans are considered ignoramuses. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing; especially in the hands of someone with zero critical thinking skills.

@raphjd You really need to travel and meet new people.

@raphjd You are right. Thirty years ago the Democrats were getting in wrong. The Republicans were worse. The difference is the Democrats have progressed while the Republicans have regressed. You can't ignore the reality....just look what's going on, mate.

@raphjd These are all anecdotal anomalies. All you have to do is to look at what these parties were then and what they are now. I don't believe every Republican is a racist homophobe, but if you are a racist homophobe, you are probably a Republican.

@blablarg18 Yeah. Keep telling yourself that.

@blablarg18 So the Mexicans are sneaking fentanyl into your Taco Bell? Nope. Fentanyl is a cheap substitute for heroin, but much harder to regulate dosage. People don't die from "bad" fentanyl, they die from "too much" fentanyl.

When did conservatives start caring so much about drug addicts? Over the years their compassionate solution has been to cut funding for rehabilitation and just throw them into prison. They only care now because they think they can blame this on "the border." Well, newsflash: If Americans didn't buy drugs, people wouldn't risk smuggling them here.

And admirable attempt at stereotyping me. Fail.

@raphjd True. Facts. Kryptonite to the Right.

@raphjd During the 80s many of them called themselves "Reagan Democrats," remaining Democrat in name at the local level, but voting for Republicans in national elections. Over time, Republicans have completely taken over the south, except for the educated urban centers and are not as strong in Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia where many northerners moved.

This is not my opinion. It is well-documented.

@blablarg18 said in "Why Martin Luther King Was Republican":

@raphjd I never thought about MLK party. Wow was he GOP? For 100 years after USA Civil War, most blacks were. Thus plausible.

While Dems were KKK party just as you say.

WERE being the operative word. Neither of current parties are anything like they were except that Democrats support social justice and social welfare and the Republicans are essentially the party of rich industrialists who con the working class into voting against their best interests with bogus culture war issues.

@raphjd Wow. Your (willful?) ignorance of history is only second to your inability to have a conversation without talking like a 13-year-old who just discovered dirty words.

It's well-established and documented that the historically Democratic south (because of Lincoln) started flocking to the GOP after Kennedy/Johnson and the Democrats started passing Civil Rights legislation. Remember the Dixiecrats? Strom Thurmond? Look at the electoral maps after 1964. All the racists flocked to the Republican party, took over, and have been happily living there ever since.

@blablarg18 The people responsible for fentanyl deaths are the people who take fentanyl. What happened to personal responsibility?

@blablarg18 So let's see what happens. My money is on Biden will not be impeached, Trump will go to jail, and DeSantis will take over the party of deplorables. But he won't win. The current face of the GOP is a pack of imbeciles who think they are the smartest people in the room and don't realize that all the intelligent people are rolling their eyes. Boebert, MTG, Jordan and Comer: The Three Stooges plus one.

@blablarg18 And yet probably not one of those could name an actual impeachable offense that Biden has actually committed. But who needs facts when you've got that genius Taylor-Greene in charge.

The Durham report wasn't exactly conclusive, but it doesn't matter. There is a LOT more in store for the Orange Fuhrer. And you know DeSantis can't wait for it to happen! lol

@raphjd Children should not be exposed to sexualized entertainment. But I am curious why only drag queens are being targeted. Have you watched the Grammy's in the past 20 years? Or any music video? Those are real boobs and I don't hear anything about banning them. I suspect that this has very little to do with "protecting" children. Be consistent.

@raphjd Others are preternaturally bold in posting endless crap.

@raphjd Your predictability is tedious.

@jaroonn said in USSA 2020 election: CIA rigged, at Blinken's behest:

@raphjd Calm down. I was obviously joking.

Are you claiming the same?

@raphjd said in USSA 2020 election: CIA rigged, at Blinken's behest:

Your side loves when non-whites and lunatics kill.
Your side drops charges and/or refuses to prosecute murderers, as long ask they kill the right sort of people.
You guys prosecute people for defending themselves and others, because the only lives you care about are criminal lives.
YOU, people, don't give a fuck about the victims and never have.

I assume you were never on a debate team. Don't regurgitate this kind of nonsense and then try to claim to be rational and logical. Ridiculous.
