[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the roadmap. Resist and call out the racism on the other side. Don't shy away from it.[/quote]

Exactly. Call it out every time![/quote]

Yes!! Call them ALL racists! It's working![/quote]
It's the new Democratic strategy, unfortunately, and one set in motion by Hillary. Falsely claim widespread racism, paint people who don't support you as xenophobes and bigots, and win. It's nasty and vicious - and will divide the country further.[/quote]

We don't call everyone racist, but if you vote for politicians who support racist policies, then you are supporting racism. Your "feelings" about people of other races are irrelevant. It's your actions that we're judging. And at this point, after spending the past 8 years watching conservatives scream themselves into a frenzy of foaming-at-the-mouth hatred at Obama (by all accounts a person of good character and ultimately fairly moderate in his political approach), I am pretty sure that our divisions are irreparable. We clearly don't see the world the same way. [/quote]
Case in point. Plenty of people voted for Obama and then for Trump. Did they all of a sudden become racist? Or is it more likely they did not like Democrstic policies, which have become all about identity politics and attacking your opponents' supporters in a divide-and-conquer strategy? And this new strategy of calling all Trump voters racist, such as you just did, just contributes to the divide-and-conquer strategy.

I don't even recognize the D party any more, and I was a registered D. They have become hateful, vindictive, sanctimonious, and completely intolerant of anyone with a different opinion. (We've had several posters here tell conservatives that unless they speak up against Trump's policies, they are to STFU and/or that posts criticizing Democrats should be banned.) Seems like Democrats would like us to live in a country where only half, the liberals, have free speech.

You have free speech. And I am free to judge you on the basis of your speech. That's how it works.[/quote]
Fair enough. And I you. And I say you are wrong with all your race-baiting and sanctimonious attitudes - and that is what will take down the country.

I still think we escaped a billet by keeping Hillary from the White House. The decline would have been even more rapid.[/quote]

You seem to consider it "race baiting" when people call your side out on statements/policies like "build the wall," "a judge of Mexican descent can't objectively judge my case," "ban Muslim immigrants and refugees," "police should use more, not less, violent tactics and resist reform," "Northam supports Latin American gangs," etc. But you apparently have no problem with those statements themselves. This is what I mean: we don't see the world the same way. I consider the Republican party to be obsessed with divisive and unpopular social issues, with their constant [b]bathroom bills,[/b] resistance to popular and common sense gun control initiatives, [b]efforts to restrict access to not only abortion but also birth control [/b]and sex education, and harping on what "real Americans" (meaning white, middle class Midwesterners) think about things. [/quote]

And they are hypocrites for saying the are so opposed to government regulation and government involvement in their lives.  Except, they are totally OK with regulating the lives of women and people who don't live exactly the way they think they should.[/quote]
