    "How the Republican Party become the party of hatred and division"

    In the last decade there is no doubt that the Republican Party has become the party of hatred and division. Additionally, they have become the champions of terrorist groups. Most of the hatred and division accelerated after Trump was elected.

    Worst of all as we can see with Trump they want to be dictators over every aspect of American life.

    What about the KKK being the white supremacist wing of the Democrat party in the Jim Crow Era? Are we supposed to pretend that didn't happen? We're not tearing down enough statues of Democrat politicians if you ask me.

    You keep sticking with that "they flipped sides" non-sense hububalu.

    Left wing wealthy democrats have been enslaving the blacks for decades saying it's "whats best" for them, when really it is just the lefts desire for power and control. Always has been, always will be.

    You keep trying to rewrite history, we all know the truth

    all one has to do is look who is waving the Confederate flag and trying to protect Confederate Statues

    They represent the "Republican Party"

    Your views just keep getting more and more extreme.

    I find it funny, in a sad kind of way, how the other thread garners so many posts, but not this one.

    Truth hurts, best to leave it alone, but lies about the hate they feel, oh do they pour it on.

    It is amazing and yet depressing that so many folks enjoy an orgy designed to dredge up hate. That is what has become of the GOP, the party of hate and fear and loathing.

    I dunno this guy comes to mind. Grand Kleagle in the KKK. I don't think he was ever a Republican and the Clintons were cozy with him 'til the end.

    Mighty white of you to forgive Senator Byrd for being ex KKK. So his statues get to stand and his office buildings and schools get to keep his name. That's cool with me then if it's cool with you.

    Again, a Southerner. Southern White folk tend to be some of the most racist people in America, regardless of party. It is kind of built into the Southern Culture. It is a holdover from its slavery past.





    Southern man, better keep your head
    Don't forget what your good book said
    Southern change gonna come at last
    Now your crosses are burning fast
    Southern man

    I saw cotton and I saw black
    Tall white mansions and little shacks
    Southern man, when will you pay them back?
    I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
    How long? How long? How?

    Southern man, better keep your head
    Don't forget what your good book said
    Southern change gonna come at last
    Now your crosses are burning fast
    Southern man

    Lily Belle, your hair is golden brown
    I've seen your black man comin' round
    Swear by God I'm gonna cut him down

    I heard screamin' and bullwhips cracking
    How long? How long? How?

    I guess if you manage to avoid dying a racist people end up being more forgiving.

    Yeah but this doesn't explain why an old fart racist Democrat like Sen. Byrd is still given godlike treatment from the Democrat party. You know Hillary law clerked for him at one time there may have been a little hanky-panky going on there.
