The Republicans serve the interests of the oligarchs, ONLY. That means that theoretically the Democrats only need to show that they serve the interests of all the people, including people of all ethnicities, not just the oligarchs, in order to win.I don't care if millions of minorities fall in line with what you and other racists are teaching and become more and more racist. I guess the whites will just have to adjust and seem to become more and more racist themselves as a result. I'd feel bad about the more advanced minorities that caught in the middle but if there aren't enough them to effectively counter their own racists there's not much we can do about it. I'd hate to go back to the age of the Whites vs Indians ( the last race war). But, maybe that's what's going to be needed to end racism here.
Unfortunately, folks like you are more concerned about keeping the country white and keeping out immigrants, especially if they are people of color, and/or about imposing Christianity on us, or supporting war, and above all supporting the notion that giving tax money for welfare creates dependency (and those "lazy people" are usually people of color, so that ideology (trickle down economics, neo-liberalism, free-market ideology) is also racist, although not explicitly so until Trump), that they ignore the fact that all the Republicans care about is keeping the wealth for their clientele. You guys are just being fooled because the Republicans are able to appeal to your prejudices and your false pride in self-reliance.
What I think Bob may be referring to, is the fact that in some sections of the country, people really ARE racists, even if not all Republicans everywhere are. The people of Mississippi, for example, vote according to their race; that is proven by the stats and exit polls. Left-over racism exists there, as it has for hundreds of years. Blacks for example in many places are profiled, arrested and/or shot in higher numbers, and that is because the people who oppress them in those ways are racist. Republicans get their votes, because their policies continue to keep the people of color in their place; going back to Nixon's southern strategy which resulted in the change of political party registration of racists from Democrat (their party after the civil war) to Republican.
Bob doesn't seem to understand that his blatant stupidity and your blatant stupidity and the blatant stupidity others here are getting in the way of progress and placing it at risk. Here's a news flash, every person on the other side values their wealth, their religion, their Constitution and their Constitutional rights, the American rule of law, United States of America and it's flag. I'm just telling you and others here so that you understand who you are really at war with today and who you're followers will be at war with tomorrow and so you all understand what you will be losing eventually.
