That makes absolute sense on why the Democratic party can build their base on hypocrisy.BennyBeaver said:
You can't choose to be white (exceptions: Michael Jackson, Sammy Sosa) but you can choose to be gay.PurpleThrobber said:
There's a faction of the GOP who hate gays.2001400ex said:
I think that's the point. Projecting Democrats, or Republicans for that matter, on who they are today is FS.greenblood said:
The article actually supports Sledog's statement. The Democratic Party didn't start the Klan, but the early clan had a lot of democrat members. It wouldn't be fair not to point out that democrats in the early to mid 1900's were different than democrats today. But stating democrats vs the democratic party started the KKK isn't completely false.2001400ex said:

Why not Democrats started and run the KKK.2001400ex said:
Yes liberals are bashing Malia going to Harvard.Sledog said:
Where is the posters political affiliation listed? You do know what assume means right?2001400ex said:@Sledog use Google. This is just one example.

You are a special stupid.

Let me guess, Ted Nugent isn't conservative now?
It's almost like you are a lemming.
Not to mention that the governor who made that comment, that sledog is parroting, apologized. Cause it's irrelevant and meaningless today. It's FS of Democrats to have supported slavery back in the day. Just like today it's FS of Republicans to not support individual freedoms of being gay. Or the racist shit they said about Obama the last 8 years. And it's FS of Democrats right now to be wasting their time to protest Trump. Get the fuck over it.
There's a faction of the Democratic party who hate whites.
What's the fucking difference?
HTH
Thank you for the clarification.

Disagree. Trump won because half the country is tired of hearing politicians prattle on about bathrooms and body parts, when the average working stiff couldn't give two shits about that stuff, and just wants job security.ThomasFremont said:
I think people got hit with an overload of info and stopped bothering to verify its authenticity. And since social media is just an algorithm designed to filter info to you that you like and choose, it's easy to see how that "bad" info would further support people's beliefs and prejudices, rather than provide them with facts that inform or challenge their assumptions.Sledog said:
The scary part is that people believe some of the shit that gets posted. Common sense is now a superpower.ThomasFremont said:Trump played the game better, and that's definitely why he won. But are we really happy with a political system that rewards spreading propaganda?
John Oliver showed a graph that basically said that 60% (40% conservative and 20% liberal) of the "news" that was shared on Facebook was bullshit. And that a surprising number of Americans now get their news exclusively through social media.
Regardless of the outcome, we should all we wary of this wave of anti-intellectualism (both sides are guilty) that has only made us dumber and more divided as a country.
I know we all like to joke about "x is your source???" but we should start taking that question more seriously.
It's like how Trump would lie so much and so fast during interviews and debates that the moderators couldn't keep up with the fact checking, much less challenge him on most of it. The few times they did challenge him, he literally blamed it on having read it on the internet, end of story. He played right into that inefficiency, and he won because of it. -

You. Are. Those. People.
It's easy and obvious and doesn't make a damned bit of difference. -
