I look at a White nationalist as a, as a Trump Republican. That’s what we’re called all the time, a MAGA person, that’s what I’m just that.

In an interview with a local Alabama radio station, Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville was asked if he believes White nationalists should be allowed in the military. He responded, “I call them Americans.”

The radio station WBHM published a transcript of the interview with Tuberville where he was asked, “Do you believe they should allow White nationalists in the military?”

The senator responded, “Well, they call them that. I call them Americans.

What the…? This guy is a straight up confederate.

No. He is stating what all Republicans have come to learn.
Democrats call people names with whom they disagree. They have essentially made terms like "racist" and "white nationalist" irrelevant.

Wrong. The actual racists, white nationalists and xenophones are in the republican party. They used to be democrats until Lyndon Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act. But at that point and through the 1990's, the southern white racists combined with traditional conservatives, and along the way, picked up the Evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians to combine into the modern GOP - a party built on guns, hate and a moral purity that fits THEIR view of America. So if you want to be lumped in with what you are referring to as "them" then you need to be calling out the racism and misogyny. The GOP is no longer "conservative" - the word has been hijacked. Actual conservatism doesn't support book banning, imposition of moral values, activist judges, persecuting private enterprise over "values" or wild economic policies that drive debt and deficit spending, yet these are all things that happen under the modern GOP. Maybe give it a little thought before you jump on the Democrats for calling it out.

For me, I used to be a fiscal conservative, social liberal (you know, let people live how they want) but my GOP left me a long time ago, and given where it is now, I would never vote for the GOP again without a total flushing of the current party. There is no fiscal conservatism in the modern GOP - in fact, the debt and deficit spending the GDP and other metrics have been totally abused by the Bush's and Trump. Nope, the Democrats, believe or not, are a better steward of our economy, better for our standing abroad and better for civil rights for all Americans, no matter how much the GOP in its current state wants to claim otherwise.

TL;DR After the first sentence.....
What I stated is very accurate: "Democrats call people names with whom they disagree."
You only need to read the threads on this site. A Republicans takes a conservative stance on something and some liberal comes back with "racist." They are calling a person whom they have never met a racist simply because of their views. Even when those views have NOTHING to do with race. I have seen it on here repeatedly and have even been called one myself. It is ludicrous. They call Republicans "white nationalists" when they believe that the priorities of Americans should be considered First when it comes to national policy decisions. Another ridiculous attempt at demeaning others.

Tuberville is simply calling out all the liberals who love to throw around names for others merely because they disagree with them. This is what the liberals have been doing for the past I don't know how many years and it is nothing more than an attempt to shut down discussion and deflect from the fact that they have no coherent argument.

WHITE AMERICANS and you forgot about the part where the great multicultural heritage and history of the US is whitewashed (literally) by what these people want our kids to learn, or not learn, about the founding and growth of our country, how institutional racism and sexism impacts the development and laid the foundation for where we are today.

You are illustrating the point by your words or lack of vision for living in anyone else's shoes.

Total Bull$hit.
Just because we don't want our kids to learn about the fake history promoted by the 1619 project doesn't mean history is being whitewashed.
And, the real whitewashing is happening when the mob forces cities and officials to remove statues commemorating our history. What benefit is it to remove a statue of Lincoln or of Theodore Roosevelt?

Here is the thing, the 1619 project is not "fake" history, it is actual history told through a different lens than the one you were taught when you were in school.

But now, we are at the point where kids are being taught that Rosa Park was simply asked to move off the bus, but not why. I mean, isn't that a critical part to understanding the civil right movement? Slaves are being cast as happy to get whatever scraps they can for their hard days work. Does that sound accurate? Ignoring things like the Tulsa massacre, the redlining of properties, the ongoing horrors of reconstruction and the celebration of Confederate traitors is all part of our history. HOW we tell that history shapes perceptions of our country's founding and the ongoing struggle to make it a more perfect union for ALL of our citizens (many of whom were not considered citizens or even full people under the original writing of the Constitution)

Get it? Or are you just wanting to believe that the Founding Fathers were infallable, that slaves were happy to be here, that black people were careless stupid minstrels, etc?
