What happens if Repubs win everywhere?

@suzianne said
Except, after WWII, Democrat presidents like Truman and Johnson started supporting civil rights laws and that led to a mass exodus of racists from the Democratic Party. Where'd they go? That's right, the Republican Party.

About this, Trevor Noah, in 2016, said this: “Just because something used to be something doesn’t mean it still is. What matters more is what it is no ...[text shortened]... . To use what was then to question what is now is a fool's errand. But that's how the right rolls.

So what is your fukking point?

NO Republican owned slaves back then. The Republicans broke from the Whigs over the slavery issue,, dummy.

https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/jun/27/fact-checking-larry-elders-reparations-chatter-fox/

Francis P. Blair, one of the Republican Party’s founders, owned slaves while he presided over the 1856 Republican convention and was a delegate in 1860, Kruse said.

Benjamin Burton, who served twice as a state legislator in Delaware under the Whig party before becoming a Republican later in life, also owned slaves, according to his obituary. In fact, his 28 slaves made him Delaware’s leading slave-owner.

Blair and Burton were not the only two. After conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza made a similar claim on Twitter, Kruse and other historians on Twitter identified eight more prominent Republicans who also owned slaves in 1860.

The 13th Amendment abolished slavery, the 14th Amendment granted citizenship and equal protection under the law to anyone born in the United States, and the 15th Amendment guaranteed voting rights for men of all races.

Historians we spoke to said the majority of Reconstruction-era Democrats did, in fact, oppose these three amendments. Republicans led the way each time.

LOL, this is from your own link,, Larry Elder, who happens to be a person of color.

"[i]"Republicans did not own slaves," Elder said. "Democrats owned slaves. Democrats founded the KKK. Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, the 15th Amendment.

happy days,. What a party.

I think the Dems have it all now. Almost no opposition to anything they want. I mean, they control the press. They essentially control both houses of Congress by demonizing through the press any whisper of opposition. They in large part control the courts and will pack the SC. They just won the presidency with a candidate that can’t spell his name without looking at a tag. And he didn’t even campaign due to the (for the Dems) convenience of the COVID-19 threat.

Even so, he got many millions more “votes” than the most popular Dem President (Obama), or so we are told and told. Now that we have this new voting system in place, Dem organizers can go throughout inner-cities that are heavily Democrat leaning. They can literally pre-fill ballots, and garner signatures from people who may or may not have ever worked a day in their lives.

America. Where people in NYC, LA, And Chicago can decide the fate of American farmers and manufacturing. End of democracy? LOL, no, it’s the path to the end. Period.

I know this will incur the wrath of the very easy to predict lefties here, but since they don’t pay my bills I really couldn’t much care less about their thoughts. I think the left’s problem is not that they are dumb. It’s that they know so many things that aren’t true.

Clearly that would be the end of democracy in the US.

You know, that part where only WHITE and hopefully RICH dudes can vote, cast out all black, Latino, Asian votes because ONLY REPUBLICANS are the real people and intrinsically superior to all those sub humans who THINK they have the right to vote.

We are showing them they are totally wrong.

ONLY WHITEY gets to vot ...[text shortened]... e.

THAT IS THEIR GOAL, FUK DEMOCRACY BECAUSE WE WILL DO ANYTHING AT ALL TO KEEP IN POWER FOREVER.

Considering the article was checking Elder's claims of course there will be quotes from him in there!

So I guess it’s just the landed gentry who should get the vote then, sounds familiar to my British ears.

Nope. America is (well, was) a Republic. Not a democracy in the sense that the majority wins. We are (were) upfront about that. Our Pledge states “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States …and to the Republic for which it stands”…
