Easy, they lost all compassion

The frog had compassion for the scorpion.

“The Know Nothing, formally known as the Native American Party and the American Party from 1855 onwards, was a far-right nativist political party and movement in the United States that operated nationwide in the mid-1850s. Wikipedia.”

This is the real party in the days of Lincoln that most resembles the republican version of Trump. Remember, republicans in general support Trump at over an 80% rate. There is always a firm base of disenfranchised people’s. It started out this time around as the Tea Party.

I guess you haven't been paying attention Moron. The tea party does not support Trump at all.

Are there any more bowel movements forthcoming from your mind?

Tea Party goers are steeped in racism...and they don’t even know it.
Their ideas of lowering the debt was just a front. It’s a fallacy shared by all republicans but the tea party really means is, lowering help to poor people which is code for Blacks . Their meetings always have racist overtones

And of course you have no evidence to back that up. You just mindlessly call people racists like a barking moonbat. And most likely, you're just projecting.

The fact of the matter is that the Democratic party has been overtly racist since it's very inception.

Well, we know Booth was and anyone with more then the mentality of a mature cucumber knows Trump is.,

Just because your feeble TDS addled mind has been brainwashed into believing that Trump is a racist, that doesn't mean that Trump is actually a racist.

Trump has been a celebrity that has been in the national spotlight for decades. If he was a racist there would be some sort of evidence of racist behavior.

And you barking moonbats who keep insisting he's a racist always fail to provide a shed of compelling evidence to back up you idiotic accusations.

How has the Republican party gone from the party of Lincoln to the party of Trump?
It is like going from the diamond on the hill to a giant turd in the toilet.

It's really not the GOP at this point. It's been distorted, mutated, perverted into the Trump Party.

How? Listen to talk radio for a few weeks, without a critical ear, and it will start to make sense. Seriously.

So, IOW, listen with a open mind?

As much as possible. But when I say "without a critical ear", what I mean is to try to ignore the obvious spin, distortion, denial, obtuseness, hyperbole, deflection and intellectual myopia, and try to approach it as a person who is not prone to engage in honest critical thinking, like their fans.

It's very educational, in that approaching in that way helps a person understand why so many Trumpsters are the way they are. It's good to understand the intellectual perspective of others.

What a snotty way to reply, but I expect nothing less from the truly intolerant, and intellectually vapid.

You asked, I answered. Your approval is not required.

How did the Democratic party go from the party of JFK to the party of AOC? Pretty interesting question to ponder as well.

That's easily explained. Back then, he was a Democrat.

There is no contradiction. Lincoln was anti-slavery and pro-America. So is Trump.

You lefties are the ones that hate America.

Trump is so pro-America that he solicits foreign governments to help him win

YOur inability to distinguish between a joke and reality is noted.


My point stands.

There is no contradiction. Lincoln was anti-slavery and pro-America. So is Trump.

Trumps “It was a joke” defense doesn’t work with teenagers and doesn’t work with Presidents.

Today’s Democrats have instituted a national healthcare system, fight for civil rights, support programs for the poor, fight for education

Positions that would have made JFK proud

Easy, they lost all compassion

By "compassion" you mean the desire to willfully allow the communist horde to completely erase the founding of America (via Frankfurt school methods) so they can use government force to pilfer the means of production (communism/socialism) then I agree. They have lost all "compassion."

By compassion I mean helping people who need help.

Helping billionaires make more money is not compassion

Well, we agree on a goal. We just disagree on the method. Maybe we could agree on what WILL NOT work.

Communism will not make it happen. Agree?

Taking away 75% of our guns will not make it happen. Agree?

Getting and keeping us in foreign wars will not get us there. Agree?

Tearing down monuments will not make it happen. Agree?

Banning object and changing flags will ot get us there. Agree?

Nobody advocates communism or taking away 75 percent of the guns.
Both parties seem to enjoy involving us in foreign wars.
Local communities should get to decide what to do with their monuments

How has the Republican party gone from the party of Lincoln to the party of Trump?

It is like going from the diamond on the hill to a giant turd in the toilet.

That’s one of the easier questions to answer. As the Democrat party has shifted ever farther to the Left, from the party of JFK, to the party of Marx; the Republican Party has shifted to the Left along with it. Like the engine, and caboose of a train, coupled together and moving in the same direction. This has eventually left the Republican base cold. Then along came Trump, who offered an opportunity to uncouple the party from this Leftward trajectory. And that’s how the main constituency of the the Republican Party has shifted to what looks more like the party of Trump.
Glad I could help clear that up for you...

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Nobody advocates communism

BLM is a communist organization. That is not "nobody."

or taking away 75 percent of the guns.

Dragonlady and Hutch Starsky have done so just this week. In fact, they both advocated for a complete and total ban and confiscation. I guess they are nobody?

Both parties seem to enjoy involving us in foreign wars.

Agreed, and I'm fucking sick of it.

Local communities should get to decide what to do with their monuments

Agreed. And that is not achieved by a mob from out of state, supported by communist organizations, coming in and tearing things down unilaterally. But no Democrat has bother to condemn that practice and some have even encouraged it.

That is doesn't, is because of something deeply fucked up with YOU.

Extremely doubtful. I rather suspect he would be shocked to see what the Democratic Party has become.

How has the Republican party gone from the party of Lincoln to the party of Trump?

The party is the same from then to now in name only. I don’t fall for the idea that the same people would be members of both parties. Booth belonged to the Know-nothing party which seems appropriately like the Republican Party of today. They were far right racists out to preserve the confederacy. That’s no different then Trump today. Trump was a racist long before he became a republican......it didn’t matter what party he belonged to. The KnowNothings today imo, have been cultivated by Alies and the rest of the conspiracy theorist crews at Faux and other right wing entities out to preserve a ruling white majority. They are the equivalent to white apartheid minority ruling class of South Africa IMO.

You are in desperate need of a history lesson.

THe mass graves and totalitarian oppression that you want for me and mine, is enough.


Details about exact economic theory and ideological dogma, really, who the fuck cares?

If you paid any attention, the tea party for all practical purposes doesn’t exist. It was a temporary contrivance to identify with the lower bracket fools of the GOP. They were just an offshoot of Republicans to promote controllable fools like Sarah Palin. The dumber the better. The “know nothing crowd” and tea party had a lot in common.

/——/ TDS is strong with this one.

TDS is a peculiar admission to one thing. Trump has no policies that aren’t racia

Nothing can be further from the truth

In the past 30 years, the Republican Party has shifted exclusively to the right. The liberal wing of the GOP is long gone. Now the moderate faction of the party has been silenced. Moderates are now RINOs and have been subjugated to the radical right elements

JFK would be proud of what the Democrats have become.
He would also see a Republican Party that has become what he foresaw would happen.
