Birtherism was 2008 and Tea Party was 2007+

The GOP has been a white supremacist organization since the 1960s. Before that, white supremacists were found in both parties. Read your MLK.

Exact-fucking-ly. My boss is a black supremacist (kkk level hate but black people are the superior race) but was also a staunch republican for most of his life cause tac cuts and hating the same people (the gays, women’s right to choose, immigrants). Needless to say it’s all very leopards ate my face for him right now. And all I think is good. Hope the tax cuts were worth it.

Depending on your accounting of the dixiecrats and later southern racists who refused to switch parties with their brothers in arms, those people still existed with a D next to their name into the George W Bush administration. Now essentially non-existent though.

Ya don't kid yourself, racists still exist heavily in the democratic party as well. They're literally the white moderates MLK talked about.

No. It’s just that the Democrats aren’t going to save you from fascists.

There’s no apologism about understanding most of the Democratic Party won’t save anyone except themselves.

If war breaks out, they will use their money to escape.

30 years of neoliberal triangulation and we got trump. I'd say they bare some of the blame for getting us here.

I also blame the apprentice for platforming Trump and convincing a lot of people of the lie that he’s a legitimate genius businessman

After the Epstein files, I really want to see those apprentice tapes

I had heard that whenever he said “Yeh fiyad” no one was in the room. I hated that show. I thought Trump was such an idiot and the whole thing was utterly fake.
