It's not hard to understand why they'd feel that way:

Nobody is saying their voices cannot be heard. This ad is unacceptable. It is inflammatory and blatantly false.
And, I think it will backfire on the Dems.


It is false that racists and white supremacists support Gillespie? Really?


Racists and white supremacists support Gillespie. Therefore, everyone who supports Gillespie is a racist or a white supremacist. Right? That's how I learned it in school.

Based on people I know personally - and here on DCUM - the more recklessly someone throws around the word "racist," the more hypocritical and sanctimonious they are.


In my kids' elementary and middle schools, they have had to ban the word "racist" as it has become such a constant accusation, exclaimed in any and every situation, most of which have nothing to do with racism. The word has become meaningless and honestly, a joke, because of its misuse and overuse.


Is that the one with racist graffiti spraypainted on the wall?


No. It's the one whose demographic profile is 80% minority.

All of the white kids scream racist when they didn't get picked for the soccer team? Or maybe it was just their DCUM "victimhood" parents. Boo hoo. Don't replace us. On the soccer field.

Huh? No. All of the kids, regardless of race, were constantly screaming "racist!" at each other for any or no reason.

No, but if you don't want to be called a racist and a white supremacist you have to stop taking support from racist and white supremacist. This "wink, wink, nod, nod" crap is getting a little old.

That ship has sailed, and not just between races. I'm white and I hate you deplorables. You've been agitating for a culture war for years, but of course you bitch and moan as soon as anyone takes you up on the offer. Too late now.

I'm not a politician, so I don't take support from anyone. As a citizen, however, I'm not going to align myself with Democrats when I don't agree with many of their positions, and I'm sickened by their identity politics. So, I guess I'll just stay a Republican, disavow racism, live my life as a good person, and know that being a Republican, like I have been my entire adult life, does not suddenly make me a racist. And if you feel you need to, then go ahead and continue claiming that it does.

also, it really echoes this Bryce Reeves ad from earlier in the primaries. I know there was a big Republican backlash against that one.

So you'll disavow Democrats because you "don't agree with many of their positions" but will stay a Republican DESPITE their racist policies and positions. Yeah, that makes a shit ton of sense. Good luck with the mental gymnastics.

Terrible people. Horrible. My liberal husband's division at work is re-orging to Plano TX. I told him that I'd go yesterday. He is a liberal and wants to stay here. Our marriage will eventually fail if he refuses to retire elsewhere - I cannot live here for the rest of my life amongst these horrible people.


Do you have marks in your hands from clutching your pearls?


Actually, those marks are from clutching the flowers I laid on the site of abduction of that poor beautiful M*slim girl murdered in Sterling. That pickup didn't contain a tea party member or a white supremacist. It contained an illegal alien

That's a Quinnipiac poll.

Illegals vote here. I know this because I've watched the polls and the poll workers simply let them through.

"A young Latino boy runs for his life from a speeding black pickup with a Tea-Party license plate, a Confederate Flag flapping in the wind, and a faceless white man behind the wheel. Each time the truck guns its engine, the boy runs past another minority who sprint along in terror. Eventually they’re trapped in an alley without an exit. The kids are as good as dead because obviously being Republican means being bloodthirsty."



Considering we all saw what happened in Charlottesville -- and that's basically aligned with Republican ideology these days -- I'd say the ad sounds accurate.


You are FOS and you know it.


I know what I saw. You can gaslight all you want, but anyone who supports Trump and Gillespie at this point is a racist. 100%. Own it. Stop crying like a little bitch when it's pointed out to others. You sound like one of those Nazis upset that they got fired from their jobs -- they got all confused and thought they were a victim of something.

I wish I could dox you right here, right now.



Don't be an idiot. If you can't distinguish the material difference between Gillespie and Trump, you shouldn't be permitted to vote.

- a liberal


NP. There is effectively no difference, just as there is effectively no difference between Congressional Republicans and Trump. They all support his unprincipled positions, unqualified appointments, and trampling of our legal and moral norms. They are all complicit. I have never been a registered Democrat and have voted for both Rs and Ds in the past, but after watching the Republican party degrade itself over the past few years, I will never consider voting for a Republican for any position, no matter how minor, again.


DP. This is exactly - precisely - how I feel about the Democratic party. I've also voted for both parties in the past, but those days are over. I will never, ever vote for a Democrat again. It is the party of smug, sanctimonious hypocrites and I want nothing to do with them.


We don't care. All I want is for people like you is to stay the hell away from me and keep your kids away from my kids. I want nothing to do with you.
