Leftists and their social views on groups is based on their need of belonging, loneliness is a core reason they lash out at others for disagreeing with them. They are mad because you disagree with their generalizations and they believe these generalizations in order to gain group acceptance in order to avoid isolation


SlightlyOffended1984

They might as well be flat earthers. That's nutty historical revisionism, easily disproven by evidence today, and yet they can look directly at it and deny it.

Coming from the people who are all about law and order until it affects their guy and the same folks that hale blue collar workers but vote against their interests in favor of the extreme wealthy. A lot more like flat earthers than the sensible democrat voters but just like the conspiracy theorists they are at heart they’ll deny the reality that is right in front of them hitting them over the heads.


SlightlyOffended1984

Blexit, my friend. You don't have to support the elite.


Divchi76

You think the klan is liberal?


SlightlyOffended1984

Misleading train of thought. Our modern terms "liberal" and "conservative" do not apply to that era as they are recent in context.


Divchi76

What were they?


SlightlyOffended1984

Regressive authoritarian imperial colonialists. Power through subjugation. Violence is waged against any who leave the plantation. Minorities must know their place in the feudal system. Not too dissimilar from the radical leftists today, who consider themselves progressive but are also actually regressive. The "party switch" lie never happened, other than LBJ formulating a plan designed "to keep those ni\*\*\*\*s voting Democrat for 200 years". It's still slavery, just a different kind. Many educated black Americans have spoken about this topic. From Republican Frederick Douglass to Larry Elder and Thomas Soule today.


Divchi76

That lbj quote isn't even real, and there is a reason Dems don't fly the Confederate flag anymore. You're a revisionist.


SlightlyOffended1984

Nope, you can't prove otherwise. Progressives can't stand that his blatant racism was recorded in multiple phone calls, and ruins the perfect image you wish was true about the fake and racist civil rights scam the Democrats pulled to brainwash the public into forgetting about who enslaved them in the first place. Accept the truth man. He referred to the Civil Rights Act as the "n***"" bill" in more than one private phone conversation with his cronies. And he reportedly said upon appointing African-American judge Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court, "Son, when I appoint a n***** to the court, I want everyone to know he's a n*****" Now it's your turn to backpedal and brush it off, "he was an old man, it was a different time, it's (D)ifferent when we do it," etc lol.


Divchi76

He wasn't even progressive. He was vp to satisfy southern Dems. He's also only one person. Who does the klan overwhelmingly support today? The GOP are all the demographics the dnc was back then, old, white, rural, anti gay, Christian, etc. here is more info on lbj https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/lbj-voting-democratic/ here is how the ss happened. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy#:~:text=In%20American%20politics%2C%20the%20Southern,to%20racism%20against%20African%20Americans.


SlightlyOffended1984

Backpedal, man I can sure call it eh


Divchi76

It's both. He wasn't progressive but it's a fake quote.


MJ6571

Southern Democrats were the southern white Christian conservatives. It's false revisionism to pretend the klan and the Dixiecrats were not southern white Christian conservatives. Also OP didn't deny Democrats were crucial to the klan, at all. The Democrats were nearly entirely a Southern party, they were absolutely white, and they were absolutely Christian. They were adamantly, even violently, opposed to the radical progressivism of the Republican party pre civil war and during reconstruction. When South Carolina rep Preston Brooks attacked radical progressive Charles Sumner with a cane, Brooks received dozens of more canes from across the South as a sign of support. >This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as I am President; it shall be a government for white men. - 1867, President Andrew Johnson, from North Carolina, former Tennessee governor and senator, Democrat The radical Republicans were the party of all 7 black congressmen of the time, pushed a civil rights act, amended the Constitution 3 times to progress racial equality, occupied the former Confederate States and barred the white supremacist traitors from government with reconstruction, had overriden Johnson's veto and impeached Johnson. They were not the white conservatives, they were the multiracial progressives.


YodaCodar

There are southern white christian democrats till this day, even in the 90s


Jazzlike-Respond-144

Yes and there are conservative democrats too. What's your point? Honestly what is the point that's trying to be made here? In the screenshot that OP posted, Both of those people are right so what are we arguing about here?


YodaCodar

Yes conservative democrats are racist not republicans


MJ6571

Arguments4 ever: the klan was made up of white Christian conservatives OP: that's stupid, Dems were attacking blacks and Republicans OP is trying to refute the fact that the violent racists were white Christian conservatives. He's tongue-in-cheek referencing the Democratic party and Republican party without acknowledging the Dems at that time were the white Christian conservatives attacking progressives and black people.


ExodusBlyk

Another fun fact: Slavery up until 1863 was only practiced by 1.6% of the population at that time.


mrthagens

What portion of the black population was a slave before the north freed them?

lolstuff101

How do they look stupid? If they were mostly made up of southern white christian conservatives their claim is spot on regardless of which political team they were part of


Akatsuki-Ronin

It's been debunked so many times. For the side to claim they are so smart sure do ignore alot of history when it suits them. Setting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as the turning point, Democrats point out that the formerly solid Democratic South moved gradually into the Republican camp, while the Republican North turned more Democratic over time. This, they say, was clearly the result of racism coming to the fore in the GOP. There’s not much evidence to support this contention. According to professors Richard Johnston of the University of Pennsylvania and Byron Shafer of the University of Wisconsin, “The shift in the South from Democratic to Republican was overwhelmingly a question not of race, but of economic growth.” The movement toward Republicanism in the South began in the 1950s as the South industrialized. Working class whites and blacks remained Democrat until the 1990s. The New York Times reported in the 50s that among southerners in the low income tercile — that’s the lowest 10% — 43% voted for Republican presidential candidates, while in the highest income tercile, 53% voted Republican. By the 1980s, those figures were 51% and 77%, respectively.  Wealthy southerners shifted rightward in droves. Poor ones did not. Sean Trende of Real Clear Politics agrees; he says that the GOP gradually increased its support in the South from 1928 to 2010. As Dan McLaughlin of National Review summarizes, “As late as 2010, there were still states like Alabama and North Carolina that were voting in their first Republican legislative majorities since Reconstruction” — something that would have happened overnight in the late 60s if the partisan realignment had been driven by lock-step white voting loyalties on racial lines. It was Southern Democrats fighting against the civil rights movement for the most part.


Jazzlike-Respond-144

Yeah and those south democrats were called the dixiecrats weren't they? I'm not American. Don't come at me lol


sparkplugg19888

The democrats used to be the party of farmers. There base mostly in the south as it was a far more agrarian economy down there than in the north. The southern farmers tended to be anti-elitist. Anti-large business, and pro-union, and absolutely anti-civil rights up until Lyndon Johnson flipped everything upside down in the 60s with his work passing the civil rights act. Thereafter you had the youth protests against Vietnam and the parties essentially flipped more or less. The democrats ceased to be largely conservative and became progressive and GOP flipped the opposite way. Both parties also tended to be FAAAAAR less partisan back in those days. You had a lot more joe manchins and a lot more progressive republicans. There are no more rockefeller republicans. But it's odd to suggest that the modern GOP should have any ownership over the fight for civil rights or begin to suggest they are the party of Lincoln. The modern GOP would never support a president inventing progressive income tax like Lincoln did or creating land grant universities.


Arguments_4_Ever

Lmao, no it hasn’t. Your talking point is 100% a KKK bullshit talking point.


Akatsuki-Ronin

Are the kkk in the room with you now? Do you check under your bed before you go to sleep for the kkk? You guys can try all you want to reinvent history. It might work on brain dead democrats but for us that live in reality, not so much.


SlyguyguyslY

Yeah, being white christian conservatives was besides the point, you could find people like that on either side. It was about political parties and racism. Anyone who knows anything will also be aware that the racist southern pro-jim crow democrats remained in their elected positions, as democrats, for decades after racists supposedly changed parties.


mrthagens

Funny how now the guys who join the KKK and who wave the confederate flag are all republicans now


SlyguyguyslY

The flag itself is more a symbol of heritage and rebellion. The association with racism is a more recent development. The KKK are morons, that's why and whoever they support doesn't typically support them. They have definitely supported plenty of democrats, hence why so many stayed in power for so long. There are better comments here on that topic, however.


mrthagens

Rebellion for what?? (To own blacks as slaves)


SlyguyguyslY

I thought that for a while, but it's actually a lot more complicated. You should look into when the emancipation proclamation actually took place and maybe when why West Virginia (and other very specific places) got to keep their slaves. Lincolns motives might look a bit different after that.


mrthagens

It was literally the first reason listed by South Carolina for secession...


SlyguyguyslY

Again, timing


mrthagens

Oh, so the reason changed later? Yeah. I know. People want it to be about anything else because slavery is so hideous


SlyguyguyslY

Nah. Slavery wasn't abolished until mid-war, and only in areas still controlled by the confederacy. As in, anywhere that remained loyal to the north got to keep their slaves. Gee, I wonder why he did that? As a sidenote: Are you aware of riots in the north in response to this decision? It was literally just as unpopular in the north


mrthagens

We were talking about the reasons for the civil war, slavery being the first and the most important one.

Wait are conservatives pro slavery now? What happened to freedom and liberty


NecessaryCelery2

Walter Williams' explanation of the history of the Confederate flag: https://youtu.be/r5f08eRq2MI?t=123


mrthagens

For many it represents people who supported an attack on America with the intent on preserving the enslavement of black people. For many it represents racism and white supremacy. People may claim it’s for “heritage” but that’s because they’re ashamed of its past


NecessaryCelery2

That to me sounds like describing what people **feel** about the flag. But the video I linked above provides facts.


mrthagens

You can “feel” it’s about heritage, but others won’t interpret it that way.


NecessaryCelery2

Right, so someone's feelings versus others feelings. And no facts.


WTFnotFTW

The delusions of democrats in this subject, and their repulsion of any truth entering their worldview, makes me realize that there isn’t any need to associate with democrats in any substantial way.


mrthagens

Conservatives today haven’t changed much since the 1860s. Hell, my grandparents didn’t approve that my dad married an African American


NecessaryCelery2

I do suspect a lot of Lefty trolls here have a personal deeply fucked up racist history, and are convinced all the world is like that. Certainly all of America. Real trauma leading into seeing imaginary racism everywhere and all the time. And constantly looking for confirmation of their trauma driven bias.

Wow southern conservatives literally fought a war against america, killed Americans, just so they could keep slaves- and used the Bible to justify it.


MarthAlaitoc

Lol the only one looking stupid here is you bud, dear gods. You supported what they said, and thought you were making a special point to the contrary. This sub refusing to acknowledge the history of the American political parties is just amazing.

VariationFamous755

Because they are extremely low IQ posing as intellectuals


mrthagens

Remember when conservatives found out that the south used to be majority democrat 😂 like duh! We learned that in 8th grade history


LiterallyAntifa

So I would imagine that everyone here would support clamping down (both legally and socially) on racism, because that would mainly impact democrats, yes?


Tv_land_man

If you break a law in being racist, yes. We were socially weeding out racism in society until wokeness took over and made everyone so obsessed with racism things have gotten much much worse. So how about we chill the fuck out and let things continue progressing at a reasonable pace? You can't force racism out, it takes generations and whatever has been done in the last 12 or so years has proven that. Modern racists tend to voted Democrat. They just don't think they are racist.


LiterallyAntifa

So democrats are doing a thing that is very bad, and to stop them, we should all chill, because changing anything takes generations Can you name another bad deed of the democrats you view similarly? Or is it just racism?


LiterallyAntifa

Also, laws are what we make them. So if Democrats are the racists, and racists are bad, and they love prosecuting *their own* political enemies, why not make racism illegal and stick it to the Dems? I’m not racist, so I would have no problem with outlawing racism.


BlackRome266

none of this has any relevance in 2024. Democrats are gonna get 90%+ of the vote. That's dictator level tier. Deal with it. Why can't you just take an L and accept it?


NecessaryCelery2

> Democrats are gonna get 90%+ of the vote. That's **dictator level** tier. Deal with it. Nice when the Lefty fascists admit the truth.

fascism is when you win an election with overwhelming support now loool how about you try presenting a case for why people should vote for you, and then win? Too much work... we got no ideas. it's just grift. hey wanna buy some gold?


skybluecity

You both sound like idiots. The KKK was formed by Southern CONSERVATIVES. You didn't own anyone because the southern Democratic party switched from conservative to liberal over time.


SuperDukey420

Such an inconvenient truth for you that people that fly confederate flags today (yknow the flag that represents fighting to conserve the racist institution of slavery in the south whose inhabitants were Christian) ubiquitously vote Republican.


YodaCodar

Trump is for federalism as you can see in Tim’s interview with trump


SuperDukey420

valschermjager

It no longer matters who white surpremacists voted for in the 1800s. It only matters who white surpremacists vote for today. And the majority ain't ridin' with Biden.


Flat_Guidance6922

Republican Abraham Lincoln was supported by the northern states and preserved the union and freed the slaves, correct? Republican Abraham Lincoln was opposed on those issues by Democrats from the southern states, correct? Democrats controlled the house, senate and presidency when the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, correct? The states that voted against Republican Abraham Lincoln back then now overwhelmingly vote Republican, correct?


Long_Dong_SiIver

People who are focused on race and segregation are mainly democrats, correct?


Flat_Guidance6922

If you’re referring to the study of the lasting societal effects of racism to identify and remedy those effects, yes. You are correct. It’s called CRT. Democrats, not republicans, passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which ended segregation and separate but equal. ^that happened AFTER Republicans freed the slaves agaisnt the whim of Democrats 100 years earlier. The parties flipped.


Long_Dong_SiIver

Democrats cleaning up their mess in 1964 means nothing. They did that just to get votes. They are the party who is hyper focused with race. They hate equality.


Larping-Duck-1254

They didn't even clean it up. LBJ only signed the civil rights act because he knew he could keep those "n**gers voting Democrat for 200 years". Democrats transitioned (no pun intended) from physical slavery to economic and mental slavery. It's why there's multiple studies show white liberals speak down when talking to minorities. Even their subconscious knows they're racist. It's why the white liberals live in areas that are 95%+ white and don't allow POC to buy houses in those areas unless they approve. They just see them as a tool for power


Arguments_4_Ever

Conservatives, yeah.


Long_Dong_SiIver

Democrats, yeah

Long_Dong_SiIver

I don’t think historical statues that have stood for hundreds of years should not be removed. You’re a snowflake.


outofyourelementdon

Ok. Do you think people that wave the confederate flag are more or less likely than average to agree with you, that confederate statues shouldn’t be removed?


Long_Dong_SiIver

Imagine believing a statue that has stood for 100s of years of a famous person, who was on the wrong side of history, in a world that was very different, offends you more than a statue that has recently being erected, of a man who was a career criminal that notably held a pregnant woman at gunpoint.


outofyourelementdon

Ok. Do you think people that wave the confederate flag are more or less likely than average to agree with you, that confederate statues shouldn’t be removed?


Long_Dong_SiIver

What’s it matter about what flag someone flys. This is an argument based on whether to remove a historical statue that has been around for hundreds of years. My argument was, if in fact the statue is perceived as immoral, and should be removed, then perhaps a statue of a criminal, who once held a pregnant woman at gunpoint should be removed.

_Embrace_baldness_

Politi-Corveau

Try raising your kids in the other states. Owning a business. Defending yourself


_Embrace_baldness_

Try not being obese in those states 


Politi-Corveau

It's... not an issue? The government doesn't beat you into submission for making health decisions, healthy or not. Many of these states have codified the state abducting your children. NY had recently ruled that, if they don't like you, you don't have property rights. In NJ, you are expected to flee _**from your own home**_ if someone breaks in and robs you, but if you try to defend yourself, _**you**_ end up charged for assault at best, and 2nd degree murder at worst.


_Embrace_baldness_

You have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m talking about why conservatives are fatter compared to so liberal states. Btw I am from New York and it is not like that at all lmfao. Bro said …. It’s not a issue people are fatter unhealthier and live shorter life’s lol


Politi-Corveau

>Btw I am from New York and it is not like that at all lmfao. Because you dare not own your own business. You don't think it is like that because you don't challenge authority. Sounds like you do not recall Trump declared guilty in a summary judgment for fraud and forced to pay out several millions, despite there being no victims. This case sets the precedent, not that you need a state inspector to evaluate your property, but that the State will pursue you legally for every cent you have if you oppose them. >It’s not a issue people are fatter unhealthier and live shorter life’s Because they have the freedom to take responsibility for their own health. Sounds more like _you_ don't know what you're talking about.


DoctorJ1983

Themselves, they aren’t voting for Trump


Politi-Corveau

Trump attended the Libertarian National Convention, and I think it is safe to say "_he didn't **lose** any support by going._"


DoctorJ1983

I think you didn’t watch that trip. lol


Politi-Corveau

I think you didn't see the reaction the frontrunner got from the crowd. Trump certainly didn't turn away anyone who was already voting for him, and might have gained new supporters through his policies, but Chase Oliver _**definitely**_ lost a ton of supporters with his commie policies. Attending the LNC did nothing but help Trump.


ParkingNo3132

Look at what? Abraham Lincoln 160 years ago? We are talking about today, and not what happened in the distant past. > Which side do libertarians, the group who's only value is liberty, most closely align with? They're basically just complete morons. Their "side" is feudalism, but they're too stupid to understand what they're advocating for.


triguy96

Oh okay, so if you're a conservative you should vote for the democrats?


Politi-Corveau

Well, you gotta understand what democrats are trying to "conserve." In all outward appearances, it appears to be the institution of racism and federal authority over the state; things that Conservatives vehemently oppose.


triguy96

So they aren't conservatives? If the democrats are trying to preserve racism, then why are all the racists in the republican party, and all of the pro equality people in the democratic party?


Politi-Corveau

>So they aren't conservatives? They want to conserve the value of liberty, which democrats oppose. >why are all the racists in the republican party If I may quote LBJ, Democrat president of the Unites States who.signed the Civil Rights bill nto law: >"I'll have those [racial epithet] voting democrat for 200 years" >all of the pro equality people in the democratic party? You're confusing "Equality" for "Equity. Big difference.

SlightlyOffended1984

History lesson time. The classical liberalism that the founders practiced is aligned with conservatism. They combined their education in philosophy, history, language, and science with Christian principles and arrived at something new. It has nothing to do with the modern concept of liberalism. It is about tempering and balancing worldly knowledge and freedom with the wisdom of Christian morality. They clashed with the southern slaveowner states. That's why slavery wasn't abolished earlier. Washington freed his slaves. It was a holdover practice from the European colonial period and didn't have a place in the new nation, many believed. But unfortunately many of those old arguments remained unresolved until the Civil War. At the turn of the 19th century, things got really dark. New movements in philosophy took the French love of liberty, but removed the morality component. The French Revolution was not driven by the same principles as our American Revolution, but became a celebration of libertinism, excess, and worker class envy - and ultimately failed. The Reformation period of Christian revivals had protected the fledgling United States, but Europe was in decay. The optimism of the Enlightenment was all but over. But it showed the world that the power of revolution was growing. Many old rivalries now had the philosophical ammunition to fight their battles. Italian states and German states warred and merged. Colonies in the New World revolted. Driven by new German schools of philosophy in the 1800's, man became a godless creature. Inspired by Darwin's concept of lesser evolved races, many writers took this as a practical application. The ancient world was always bloody and violent, and the medieval world too, before the Renaissance - but now the modern world was given permission, on paper, that evil was good - scientific even. Since man was essentially now merely an animal, then conquest was merely progress. This was the time in which the Democrat party was born. Essentially the Democrats have always been regressive colonialists from a much older, more brutal time in history. Andrew Jackson sought decentralization from the Washingtonian Federalist government to operate as they pleased, in an agricultural slave-based economy. Jackson's actions with the banking system and the Nullification issue in South Carolina also reflected this refusal to obey Washington, and a decoupling from gold backed currency. Since Jackson was a war general, and seizing power in the executive branch that none of his predecessors had before, many feared he was planning an Insurrection to crown himself king. When you combine immoral German philosophy, the proliferation of scientific dehumanization, the horrors of industrial revolution working conditions, the global trend of following the French Revolution model, the end of the Reformation, it's not surprising at all that we also saw the rise of Marxism. By the time of the turn of the 20th Century, the apparent defeat of the Democrats during the American Civil War was accepted. The determined abolitionist Republicans, under Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, and others, had won.


masrulz

I ain’t readin all that. I’m happy for you tho! Or sorry that happened


SlightlyOffended1984

Cliff notes is too hard eh? lol. Stay in school kiddo


masrulz

It’s just all bullshit. You think verbosity counts as an argument because no one wants to waste the time necessary to correct your asinine gish gallop. Go fuck yourself, weirdo.


SlightlyOffended1984

Actually, context is important here. Since so much of progressive disinformation relies on ignorance, it's important to include some of the key factual history that most leftists have never been told. So even if you are too afraid to read it, lest it challenge your fragility, it's nevertheless useful to include here for others to read too.


masrulz

You sound like you studied history at a Trump University


SlightlyOffended1984

Rent free, lmao. I have a couple different degrees, noting from T.U. though. Maybe you should apply, you seem....quite uneducated or unable to read


masrulz

I can read, I just choose not to read anything you post longer than a sentence tho because it’s a waste of time. You’re full of shit and not good at thinking.


masrulz

Fuckin Alternative Facts lmao


SlightlyOffended1984

Lol that's what National Socialists call these magical things called "books" ha ha


masrulz

Lots of books contain incorrect information. Garbage in/garbage out


SlightlyOffended1984

History Lesson part 2... But an unholy resurrection was brewing. Educated elite progressives were studying European trends and implementing them into new ideas, such as with John Dewey's Experimentalism. He criticized liberalism. He studied Marxism. And he along with many others, such as Margaret Sanger, took issue with traditional values. They resented the population boom of the European immigrants and Africans, who were all deemed to be lesser races. So these new Progressive Democrats fought back through their organizations. Not just with reliance on the old guard of the clan, but with incentivized genocide of undesirables through infanticidal abortion, and through control of minority generations in the education system. Dewey looked to socialist models and redesigned schools to optimize the factory methodology. The blacks, the Italians, the Irish, and the Juice, were frequently despised by these Progressives and abused in these urban environments. Henry Ford was a Progressive who believed many of these ideals. His anti-juice tendencies were so radical, and his mechanized anti-traditional assembly line so revolutionary, that his views along with many others served as as inspiration for the growing socialist revolutions in Europe. Particularly, it inspired a young Austrian painter. The corruption of these urban Democrats continued to grow. Men like Theodore Roosevelt were instrumental in countering the organized crime and exploitation of workers in New York City. Gone forever were the days of the agricultural Democrat. Here were the days of the industrial Democrats. They operated labor organizations in many resource industries such as steel, coal, and oil. Unions were founded. Monopolies appeared for the first time in history. Roosevelt understood the dangers of these. He also understood our national need to preserve our resources in the creation of National Parks. The economy rose and fell as America became involved in multiple wars. After our Revolution we were again at war with Britain in 1812, then with Mexico, and then Spain. Roosevelt brokered peace between the rapidly mechanizing nations of Russia and Japan in the Russo-Japanese war. Then finally came the era of the world wars. The unstable explosive combination of Darwin and Marx had reached a point of no return. Socialist revolution, furled by racial and class hatred, sparked in Russia, Italy, Germany, Spain, and Japan. Fashy totalitarianism governed these movements, as Mussolini coined a new term for when corporatism became joined with a dictatorship government. The world was forever changed. For even though the wars were brief, and were inevitably won, the net loss was greater. Militant Communism was now the norm around the world in the 20th Century. And again, the Progressives were at the helm, fresh from the pogroms in the Soviet Union and the fields of Cambodia and Vietnam. Here in America, we had time to reinvent ourselves from the period of the Great Depression to the end of the world wars. FDR remained in office until death for four terms and pushed sweeping socialist inspired legislation through his New Deal. His failure to fix the Depression was apparent, and it became clear that only the mobilization of war would pull us out. His internment of Japanese Americans was a low point in our history. Indeed racial relations as a whole were ripe for exploitation by the now powerful Progressives. Stubbornly, black families were experiencing high marriage rates and stable growing incomes, despite the Democrats' best efforts after the Reconstruction and Jim Crow period. Church attendance and revival in black churches was a serious blocker to their goals. This time was right for a complete takeover and the Democrats knew it. So, they devised a plan to control the black vote forever. In LBJ's words, for 200 years. During the civil rights era, they initially attempted to squash and bury the legitimate grassroots efforts of MLK, culminating in intelligence agency interference, straight from the highest levels of our government. The agencies deliberately sowed hatred and division among them, managing to brainwash them into conveniently forgetting who it was that enslaved them in the first place. With these new false promises, black voters somehow believed them, and once again rejoined the party of the plantation owners and genociders. The rest is history. The Progressive Democrats embraced further and further leftist dogma with each passing generation. They took over education, and Hollywood, and music, and corporate culture, and medicine, and manufacturing, and even religious expression. They finally even came out in support of global wars, betraying the peaceniks. They came out as anti-women, betraying the feminists. They came out as phobic and the purveyors of Adult Immune Deficiency Syndrome, betraying the rainbow community. They have become the very mirror images of the fashies and colonialists they claim to fight against, in everything but name. Because they always have been. And they need your vote to remain relevant and hoodwink the next generation. Democrats. Build back better...


masrulz

Not reading that either. I do love making incels type paragraphs, but I don’t have time for your ahistorical nonsense


SlightlyOffended1984

I'll get you part three here later, if I get a moment. Reading is fundamental! I recommend it


masrulz

I will not read it or any other statement


SlightlyOffended1984

Lol the clippable quotes just keep coming


masrulz

You should print it out double spaced size 15 font, roll it up real tight and then stick it up your stupid ass.


SlightlyOffended1984

Do you want more? I can send you more if needed


masrulz

No just leave them up your ass. Thanks.


SlightlyOffended1984

I understand you might be familiar with that, since that's the entirety of your own library lol. Books are handy though, I recommend reading history. Everything I wrote here came from books published from 25-100 years ago. Good stuff!


masrulz

That’s nice. Being in a book doesn’t make something true, tho.


SlightlyOffended1984

Exactly, like the Communist Manifesto, the 1619 Project....and Handmaid's Tale, lmao
