This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.
Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.
I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.
This article seems to draw the wrong point from the interview. The historian being interviewed says the quickness to resort to violence by Republican politicians is nearly identical to that of Southern politicians right before the US Civil War. She notes that these Southern politicians were emboldened by the fact that they could do anything and not be politically reprimanded for it. Their constituents actually liked how violent they were, so it just kept getting worse. She notes that modern day Republicans enjoy the same luxury. The historian stops short of saying America is headed towards another civil war because their politicians would rather use threat and violence over debate and compromise, and the American voters like it.
We may be heading towards another civil war. While people like to think slavery was the only cause of the war, it was more complicated than that. We have many different cultures and sometimes those cultures collide. I am a small government Republican, which means I support abortion as the government should stay out of an adult’s medical care. I am not religious, and I’m not too fond of the mixing of abortion and religion. While I respect religions and do attend mass on occasion, I do not want your sky God dictating what I can do with my body.
The problem is both parties are spewing things that don’t really solve anything.
I mean this with no insult. You’re in the wrong party if you want any of those things. And I’m curious, what DO you like about the Republican Party today, and don’t say taxes.
No I’m in the right party. I’m not a rabid racist like the democrats. I’m against large government. I’m against wages theft through taxation.
You know that slavery, kkk we’re all democrat things and still are?
There is nothing positive in me about the democrats.
You must be really old if you can recall a time when democrats discriminated against people based on race. ;-) Parties change. The modern GOP is all about big government, control of people, censorship, and racism.
But, your answer said all I need to know about your actual position.
Thanks
The democrats still discriminate against people based on race. It’s a core part is their platform.
And no, you have the gop wrong. Covid proved that the gop wasn’t about control. They let people make informed decisions about their health. The democrats wanted to force vaccinations and mask on everyone.
Seems like you don’t know much about the GOP
Which democratic policies are you thinking of that discriminate based on race?
Everything to Democrats is about race, sexual orientation, and segregation. etc.
You know that slavery, kkk we’re all democrat things and still are
According to whom? Both of these things have always been far right ideologies. Are you forgetting the two main parties switched in name a century ago?
The parties never switched. That’s a myth.
The Democrats started both the kkk and slavery.
The Republican Party was built on anti slavery.
The parties never switched. That’s a myth.
It objectively is not a myth.
