    Republicans have a fascist as their presidential nominee.

    A bar that serves out-and-proud Nazis is a Nazi bar.

      I haven’t voted in my primary yet. But keep it up, you’re the exact reason actual nazis are able to hide in the open. No one that isn’t already in your group think actually listens to or believes you.

        Republicans are the ones giving cover to Nazis. Stop trying to blame other people for the fact that the white nationalists have a home in the GOP.

          And yet you elected a president who gave a eulogy at a KKK exalted cyclops’s funeral as a personal friend. Having people we don’t like in our party is a bit different from glorifying them. I moved from the Seattle area to Enid and there was far more legitimate hate in the blue area.

            Although he filibustered against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and supported the Vietnam War earlier in his career, Byrd’s views changed considerably over the course of his life; by the early 2000s, he had completely renounced racism and segregation. Byrd was outspoken in his opposition to the Iraq War.

            Fuck off with your false equivalency.

            The leader of the Republican party is on record as wanting to ban Muslims from entering the country, said Obama wasn’t born in the US (because he’s black), tried to organize a putsch to overthrow a democratically elected government, diverted COVID supplies from areas who didn’t support him politically, and is calling refugees “animals.”

            Compared to Biden who gave a speech at the funeral of a very flawed, but reformed, man.

            If you can’t see the difference, it’s because you don’t want to.
