Comment on Why a union president crossed partisan lines for a starring role at Trump’s RNC | CNN Politics
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 5 months agoThat’s why he’s talking at the convention. He is tired of the Nazi democrats.
Jd Vance supports unions. Remember Biden wouldn’t even let the rail workers strike.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
—Martin Niemöller
You’ve got to be pretty goddamn stupid to think Nazis are leftists.

Jim Crow was created by democrats.

I think I’ll take the word of historians over convicted fraud and “2000 Mules” propagandist Dinesh D’Souza.

Jim Crow was created by regressives. These were previously mostly Dem but after the deliberate Southern Strategy are mostly Repub.
You’ll never get him to agree, because his entire worldview relies not on facts but on controlling the conversation.
It’s immaterial to him if he is right or not.
Reactionaries are inherently anti-intellectual, because it allows dim dipshits to hold court and have their ideas treated by their fellow regressive peers as the equivalent of that of people who actually know what they’re talking about.
It’s so much easier to “know” things when you can make up whatever bullshit you want or can cite another boot-licker who is also using motivated reasoning and magical thinking.
Do you think he cares that Republicans tried to have a Fascist coup before?
Or that Regan was flooding inner cities with cocaine?
Or that the Civil Rights Act was signed into law by a Democrat?
He doesn’t give a fuck, because all he cares about is projecting the appearance of being correct. The actual facts are irrelevant.
hese were previously mostly Dem but after the deliberate Southern Strategy are mostly Repub. Are? Jim Crow was removed a long time ago and Republicans voted for it 80% vs 61% for the Democrats.
Republicans have always been about equality.

Jim Crow was just Democratic politics and is still their politics.
And Lincoln hated conservatives.
It’s hilarious that you want me to read “the truth” by a convicted fraudster and conspiracy theorist.
You’re beyond parody.
Since Lincoln was a conservative. I’d love to see where you get that idea. He hated democrats.

He’s delusional if he thinks that a Republican administration wouldn’t be multiple times worse, and Vance has about as much conviction as a weathercock.
I’m reminded of Democrats that plan to sit our t because of their party’s failure on Palestine. Motherfucker, do you think Donald “bomb them back to the Stone Age” Trump, the man Netanyahu prefers, is a better choice?
