Sadly, purely democratic process always destroy republics.
People are too easily led by loud voices that promise them things that belong to others... .

Such as telling white supremacists they will get "their" country back? Sounds familiar doesn't it.

Yep.
Then again, all of the white supremacists that I've ever known voted Democrat... .

That's very interesting, as it has not been my experience.

Nope. Can't say I've met more than a few official Klan members. I've met more than a few white supremacists though.... unfortunately.

I've met more than few white people who aren't supremacists, but, after years of being told that they are by the Leftist media every day, are considering giving it a try.

If you are not already familiar, look up the Tytler Cycle and see which stage you think we are currently at.

I've met a whole bunch who aren't too. Some of them even vote Republican and voted for Trump. I understand some people think they are seen as white supremacists because they're white and voted for Trump. I get that. I'm not referring to those people.

I'm referring to those who became emboldened enough by Trump and his rhetoric to march through city streets shouting "You will not replace us!" The type that followed Richard Spencer. Etc. But, I think you know that perfectly well.

Yeah... scattered along the upper-left quadrant, heading toward bondage... .

When Trump commented "there a lot of great people on both sides" about Charlottesville, he should have replaced "great" with "ignorant".

Too many people don't realize there are those of us that vote for and against issues, not candidates. Yes, I voted for Trump in the past 2 elections. I thought it less likely that he would favor attacking the 2A. I thought it less likely he would tax small companies out of business. I explained to my son why I voted for Trump even though he's a terrible role model.

I'm no more supremacist than I am millionaire. I have no desire to go backwards. That's not an option. You don't have to move on, but you have to move forward. And if you think everyone who voted Democrat is a left-wing, green peace, give-our-country-away liberal... I'll take you to the home of a 90 year old veteran of Korea who lost one brother there and 2 in WWII. Call him some of those names at your own peril.

Not one Democrat voted to allow blacks the right to vote. The KKK was started and supported by the Democrat Party. Those that are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it.

 

[theotherwaldo]

I must admit, the Democrats have discarded white men in favor of white women and black men.
Then they discarded black men in general when they discovered that most don't vote.
Then they decided that all that they needed were the biggest cities. Ask Al Gore how that worked out.
Then they idealized Hispanics until they realized how conservative they tended to be.
So they started idealizing illegal aliens and criminals and tried to give them the vote, since this population is dependent upon government tolerance.

Typical narcissistic behavior: Idealize, Devalue, Discard.

The parties aren't what they used to be. You know that full well, and you can't possible think I'm ignorant enough to fall for that. So why bother?

 

[CrustyCoot]

The democrats have played the black population for decades, giving them just enough to gain their votes, just enough to keep them enslaved to the system they created.
