Republicans are being short sighted
Pandering to the MAGA crowd may help them win with the older, white Christians who fear their loss of power.
But younger Americans and minorities are repulsed by the actions of the far right. They are lost forever
Might be true, but the Dems are making a big mistake if they assume too much. They're certainly capable of going too far, as well.
This is why I don't like seeing the GOP turn into a fuckin' psycho ward like this. We need (at least) two strong parties.
When I checked the website of the Dem's national convention in 2016, it took me 15 minutes of clicking around until I saw the first picture of a white male who wasn't obviously depicted as gay.
It's all nice and fine when Democrats care for the issues of non-whites and other minorities ... but if they give a damn about white workers, they shouldn't be surprised when 70% of them then vote for someone like Trump.
This is a very large part of why Trump won in 2016 and why the Dems underperformed in November. The Regressive Left wing of the party -- the illiberal, authoritarian end that pushes Political Correctness, Identity Politics and Cancel Culture -- has damaged the party considerably.
And, just as the Trumpsters are refusing to look clearly and honestly in the mirror, so is the Regressive Left. As I always say, the two ends of our political spectrum can be comically similar in their behaviors.
We are NOT using mob violence to terrorize our enemies, and arresting people that defend themselves.
So, the similarities, are not very impressive.
He does not seem to care, and in fact has shown that he revels in the "**** you" he is watching. I would conclude that he does not believe that we are dead ******* serious.
Texas is GONE. Leaving. It may not be this year, or next year, but the sentiment is real and serious. We are getting the **** out one way or another. If it's peaceful, great. But, I suspect that the powerbrokers will not give up on the world's 10th largest economy that easily. I am at peace with that eventuality and will die for it.
I don't know how this will shake out
I do know that if they want to marginalize and oppress the single largest ethnic group in the country, that there will be civil unrest that will START at the level of the 60s and grow from there.
I do.
Biden is President.
You won't do shit.
Please keep saying that.
The more you run your shrill mouth, the more this becomes likely:
Your pictures make you look so brave! Behind your keyboard!
He did this all day yesterday. He thinks this is threatening somehow.
Go. Split. Take Texas. There's plenty of room for all you paranoids to shoot your guns at trees.
Sheesh.
Except, you dems would not let him/us go. You would fight. So, you are talking shit. Again.
I'm just trying to help you guys with your feelz.
You keep talking about civil war and secession, so I'm just trying to help.
Dismissing our grievances as "feelz" is you throwing gasoline on the fire. People are dying in the streets and you are still fanning the flames of division and partisan hate.
Does that seem like a good idea to you, or have you just stopped thinking?
The problem is today those so called grieviences that have festered in white males for 40 years do not matter to the younger generation. They are tired of the whining, voting for old white men who simply feed what they want to hear, do nothing to fix the problems, simply feed the lobbyists who support them.
I actually hear this in my own family and listening to others. The generation of anger is slowly dying out, the young are moving in and if you do not keep up you will be knocked aside.
Just like the older Greatest Generation built the Middle Class the

This is funny but it shows those wanting Civil War.
