Charlottesville protests

Yeah, they will need it, if it’s Democrats vs Republicans, one side has the military and police and are armed to the teeth, while the other side is armed with dildos and bongs. Good luck with that indeed.

Besides, what is this? Antifa the new violent arm of the Democrats Vs the KKK who were the old violent arm of the Democrats tearing down monuments of Democrats from the civil war. Trying to start a new civil war over monuments from the last civil war, you couldn’t make this shit up.

This old argument needs to be put to bed. Yes, the klan was largely made up of dems, as the south was largely dem. But, there was an sociological shift in mid-century American politics, begin with EO 9981 and culminating with Nixon’s 1968 campaign kickoff in Philadelphia, MS. The two parties are hardly the same they were 150 years ago.

Why are republicans today revering these statues of traitors in the past?

No, that’s not what I meant.
I was thinking of starting a civil war over the removal of an orangutan who is holding the nuke button and threatening another ape.
However, is he actually threatening North Korea?
Or, is it more like look Mueller and CO, any closer and fire and fury.

You’re talking about the Southern Strategy an extremely short sighted policy decision by the Republicans.

I think you would agree 1968 was also a very different time to 150 years ago. Perhaps I could ask you the same question, why are Democrats trying so hard to erase this part of their history?

One side is “armed with dildos and bongs.” Wow, good one. So edgy. No jokes about them being too busy to fight because they’re dropping acid and microwaving babies in the oven? :roll_eyes:

Oh and in case you haven’t noticed the right has kinda cornered the market on white supremacy since at least the 1950s, so your antiquated “Dixiecrat” argument doesn’t hold much water in 2017 the age of the alt-right and tiki torches. But you’re right in a sense; things have changed. Republicans used to be the proud party of Lincoln. Now they’ll forever be besmirched with the dark stain of Trumpism.

What? this went right over my head, what are you talking about?

It means groups like the KKK swing with whoever seems more likable at the time, during all the atrocities, it was Democrats, and for some dumb reason just as they became a liability the Republicans welcomed the racists into their party, dumb asses. When it comes to social politics and identity politics, the Democrats have that game down to a T.

I read somewhere the chief of police said the protesters were better armed than they were. Which, after seeing the footage, had me scratching my head. Just for comparison purposes, put side to side images of cops in Charlotte and say, any BLM or racial triggered protest. Those look paramilitary. They roll armored vehicles down the streets. You are telling me you had two violently opposing teams in one square and just because they were white, you sent officers with batons? And knowing the kind of paranoid anti government stockpile for kingdom come crowd you had on your hands you look surprised when they pull an AK47? Scratch, scratch.

Short-sighted, yet effective. Nixon, Reagan, to an extent B43, and 45* have embraced the concept of “states rights to put restrictions on their minority populations” to the end that it will get them votes. The dems have won the south, as a whole, 2 times since 1968 (1976, partially in 1992 and 1996).

When the south removed themselves from the nation, they stopped being being anything that remotely identified with being Americans. They became traitors and should be treated as such. The question now should be, why is the right embracing them?

  • While not exactly a “southern strategy” per se, he has been seen as a voice for the “forgotten” who feel their “rights” (economic, social, and religious) have been largely ignored by Washington.

Is it just me or all the topics about America lead to the similar discussion…naturally?

I’m not talking about Milosevic in 1991, but when he was President of Yugoslavia in 1997 to 2001, which is the proper time period that everyone is familiar with events surrounding his actions, and particularly with American bombing and international (rather European) involvement. He was trying to keep his country together as best he could. Had nothing to do with immigration.

Stalin, Mao, and all the fascists were all socialists and nationalists. Not all left-wingers are philosophically nationalists, but a good many who actually led countries were. All these leftists were racist. Being racist does not make them right or define the right. They were leftist and racist at that. If your only definition of right is racism, you’re really on thin ice, you’re the one who doesn’t understand, you’re the once who’s had the wool pulled over your eyes.

McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist, which was becoming active at that time and imported from East Europe. Because of bombings, the assassination of our presidents and other events, immigration laws of 1917, 1921, and 1924 heavily curbed immigration from East Europe. It didn’t ban it, but severe limits were imposed, which in effect disrupted the flow. Trump isn’t anywhere near this as he is disrupting the flow of ILLEGAL immigration, not LEGAL immigration, which was the case here.

The mayor of Charllotesville is one of those Democrat mayors allowing his city to be a “sanctuary” city for illegal immigrations in express defiance of federal law and he declares the city as a “capital of resistance.” He’s one of Trump’s fiercist critics and he’s wielding his power as mayor to influence national politics. The police were held back, and they don’t have permission to act without the mayor’s permission. Now we know why this confrontation took place. Police can normally separate opposing factions such as these. The events in Charlottesville didn’t happen spontaneously, there was organization behind this, and Obama, who proudly calls himself a community organizer is doing just that with his minions in the Democrat Party, whether they be mayors, governors, CIA officers, or wherever the swamp hasn’t been drained.

The Antifa people are the same people as the Occupy Wall Street crowd, they show up anywhere, anytime they need someone to protest, Ferguson, Oakland, after Hurricane Katrina, or to start riots at Trump rallies when he was campaigning…they’re all bought and paid for.

“Jews will not replace us!”
“I’m here to spread ideas, talk, in the hope that somebody more capable will come along; Somebody more capable, somebody like Donald Trump who does not give his daughter to a Jew.”
OK. How do you defend that? You don’t even need Godwins law. They are neo-nazis.
But thats allright because of justice warriors and Hillary emails.

The republican party hasn’t changed much, other than some leaders are more liberal, like Nixon and Theodore Roosevelt, while others more conservative, like Reagan.

But the Democrat Party may seem to change because they are the opportunists, and that has always been the case. So when racism was going against them, they changed their strategy and engineered it to look like they are the ones championing the black cause. You see this opportunism with Johnson, who blocked the civil rights bill of 1950 and 1957. As president, he struggled to get his majority Democrat Party to pass civil rights bill of 1964, but it was the fewer Republicans that carried the day. The Republicans have been consistent since their beginning with Lincoln. And Johnson was only doing it to carry out Kennedy’s agenda who had been assassinated. Kennedy himself blocked the 1957 bill as well.

This quote from Johnson explains his Democrat opportunism:

“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days, and that’s a problem for us, since they’ve got something now they never had before: the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this — we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference.”

No, it wasn’t the chief of police. It was Obama’s henchman, Democrat governor McAuliffe who said the police were outgunned, and that that was why they were standing down. It’s been corrected. The police said they were better equipped than protestors, which is always the case.

Please stop saying “Obama’s henchman” or else take your conspiracy nonsense to an alt-right website.

This is the problem. We have a generation raised on drivel from charismatic snake oil salesmen like Alex Jones with his InfoWars.

Normally I’d call you out for double dipping, but in this case I think maximum exposure is called for.:wink:

Just a question: if a brother shows up at any public gathering with one of the weapons any od those protesters were carrying, don’t you guys think all hell would break loose?
