A 160 years ago, we would have been killing Democratic supporters by the thousands on battlefields and bringing a Democratic region clinging to slavery to it knee's. As far as I can see, the Democratic party is still clinging to the ancestors of their former slaves. It looks like we'll be doing it again (repeating history), it seems to be the direction that we are heading these days.(04-20-2021, 04:41 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(04-20-2021, 10:39 AM)Eric the Green Wrote:In your mind we are but in reality we're not the Confederates. I'm sure you could/can convince a clueless Democratic supporter or minority of anything these days. After all, the clueless are clueless and easy to convince. Hell, I bet you could even convince them that American Law enforcement is racist and even convince them that it"s fascist and convince them that it's their enemy and convince to get rid of it too. Dude, we freed the slaves from their Democratic owners over a hundred years ago and the Democratic owners of today are still clinging to their slave ancestors today. Personally speaking, I don't care if the Democratic side has police or not or it's own army or not at this point and I don't really care what happens to it in the future either. There was a time when I considered voting Democratic but that was a long time ago and I no longer consider doing it these days which has been beneficial to the Republican party or GOP as we say.(04-19-2021, 11:21 PM)Classic-Xer Wrote: We aren't the Confederates.yup, you are.
If your racist laws look like ducks, and quack like ducks, they are ducks. You therefore admit that you are a racist, reactionary confederate.
And as I never say.
No, the two major Parties have totally switched roles. You are ignorant of American history, so you don't know that. But 160 years ago, you confederates would have been Democrats, and those who freed the slaves were Republicans. Now, confederates like you are Republicans and those who seek to free the people are Democrats.
My grandfather from Indiana was a distant relative of Abraham Lincoln and was an enthusiastic Republican. His son, my Dad, grew up in the Depression era, and when he grew up and came to CA he became a Democrat. My grandfather from Oklahoma was a Democrat, but like many white southerners he switched to Republican; but his daughter, my Mom, came to CA with my Dad and became a Democrat. Party labels change their meaning through history.
