The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.

    The republican party pushed for personhood of black people for 200 years. Democrats fought against ending slavery.

    What is the current Republican attitude towards minorities?

    Abraham Lincoln ®, whupped the Confederacy so badly that it ceased to exist. That’s a very good thing.

    The United States of America whupped Nazi ass so badly that Hitler had to shoot himself in the head. That was a very good thing.

    Why does the current Republican party love the Confederacy, and feel very comfortable with a Nazi infestation?

      What is the current Republican attitude towards minorities?

      That we shouldn’t care about race that much, we should be color blind and not prefer any race to another, but rather the content of their character. The current democratic attitude towards minorities is that there’s a hierarchy of good and bad races. Unfortunately, I’m part of the bad minorities so I get penalties in basic things, like job interviews, and college applications.

      To some, confederacy now is more about a state having the right to enact policies as it sees fit, as opposed to having a huge bloated federal government. I’m pretty much as north as you can get, I’m not waving a confederate flag, but if someone asks if states should have rights to enact policies their voters want, I’m gonna say yes.

      I can’t speak for all republicans, nor most, but every single individual I know that has voted for a republican does not like Nazi’s. We aren’t comfortable sharing any sort of label with racists. Do you have any satistics on how republicans ‘feel comfortable’ with Nazi’s?

        I think that you’re in a bind, because you know what you stand for, and your party is currently infested with MAGA style personalities, who are under the influence of the Russians. I don’t think that you like that very much, as you’ve pointed out your disdain for Trump.

        I don’t have any particular fondness for Joseph McCarthy, but if he was alive today, he’d go absolutely apeshit over how badly compromised the GOP has become. He would make heads roll, and probably remove a lot of prominent figures that you’re probably embarrassed to have representing your party.

        “The Jews will not replace us! The Jews will not replace us!” I bet you a cup of coffee that at least one of the tiki torch has a predelection for nazism. You know what the republican president’s comments were.

        I did a Google search of “Jan 6 nazi”, which was enlightening. I’d suggest taking a look, and then reflecting on Republican rhetoric about that day.

        Stephen Miller had an appointed position.
