If you support trump, you are complicit in racism.

trump and the republicans new tactic shows just how low the party has sunk in a morass of racism and xenophobia in order to win the mid-term elections.
In their recent political ad, a man on the screen has a shaved head and a mustache and long chin hair. Smiling, he announces, “I killed f‐‐‐— cops.”
The man is Luis Bracamontes, a twice-deported Mexican immigrant who was given the death penalty in April for killing two California law enforcement officers in 2014. At the time of the shootings, Bracamontes was in the United States illegally — and now, with the midterm election approaching, he’s the star of the GOP’s latest campaign ad. . . .
The text is superimposed over videos of Bracamontes appearing to show no remorse for his crimes, and even declaring, “I’m going to kill more cops soon.”
More footage follows: Throngs of unidentified people rioting in unidentified streets and pushing down fences in undisclosed locations. A Fox News Channel correspondent interviewing a man identified only as “deported immigrant in caravan,” who asks to be pardoned for attempted murder. … “Who else would Democrats let in?” the video asks. An image of Bracamontes smiling reappears before being replaced by text, “President Donald Trump and Republicans are making America safe again.”
To all the Republicans who think that words don’t matter, who rationalize support for the president because of judges or tax cuts, who insist that domestic terrorism is unrelated to normalization of virulent racist rhetoric and who remain silent believing they have no moral responsibility for this brand of politics, SHAME ON YOU! I say this is reason enough to vote against each and every Republican on the ballot. We have not seen individual Republican candidates, let alone House and Senate leaders, denounce the ad or insist that Trump take it down. Silence is assent.

TImely ad.
Trump is strong on borders. -
And it's this kind of rhetoric from the left why Trump wins despite his own lies and ridiculousness.
This country is begging for a sensible centrist third party.
Or SMOD. -
Amen. I'm sick of fucking Nancy Pelosi. Bring me a purple state DLC-centrist type of leader that speaks to both sides.HillsboroDuck said:And it's this kind of rhetoric from the left why Trump wins despite his own lies and ridiculousness.

But you're naive if you think that closet racists like Dude61 will ever vote for anyone other than his fuhrer. -
@SFGbob says his party doesn't spread fear. That statement is right up there with "racists aren't welcome in my party". What a lying Kunt.

are your palms sweaty? You sound nervous

Passion in all sincerity go fuck yourself
And sure you don't want Pelosi - you're just here a week before the election throwing the race card around to get her to be speaker
Hillary tried calling voters trash and racists and look how good that worked
How about some reasons to vote for democrats
You don't have any. -

Nah, go fuck yourself "race" old man.RaceBannon said:Passion in all sincerity go fuck yourself
My number one priority if Dems took over - their tax plan skewed toward the middle class and small business startups. Much like what Clinton did in 1993. Brilliant and wealth generating.
But I guess we just see the world differently. I think that being a lying racist is disqualifying for the highest office in the land. Sad you don't agree.
