I can't believe so many of you are ok with what is happening today????...... The American people have lost their minds and you guys are saying that it will be alright.....give me a freaking break! Someone needs to take a stand here. Thank God Trump made it illegal to destroy our heritage!! Would Biden stand up and say Enough is Enough?..... no he would not......He would want to give them some of your money. Pathetic what the Democratic party has become. Shame on all you guys who support this type of behavior......

I remember reading once that the board game Monopoly was banned in Russia as it was seen as a propaganda instrument to capitalism, which was seen as evil. Any parallels?

SHHHHH! Don't give the BLM agenda any more ideas, or they'll deem monopoly as racist and take it away from us.

Tearing down statues is too much but centuries of marginalization of an entire race is fine.

Times are changing my friend.

They never switched. The Democratic Party was left in ruins after the civil war. The north was strong Republican Party territory and garnered much support from the wealthy classes of people. The democrats could only muster support from the lower classes, former slaves included. They’ve kept them oppressed ever since. Truly a very evil group of people.

I’ve flown into John Wayne airport. That area is the woke center of the universe.

I was just telling my girlfriend about this and we both commented on how much we like the John Wayne airport. We have to go to Irvine quite a bit for work and use that airport. Everyone needs to experience landing and taking off on that short runway there. Usually on a 757 from Atlanta, definitely very interesting. One of the if not the shortest commercial runway in the US.

Another example of pandering. This is pretty ridiculous.

“The L'Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products," the company said in a statement.”

L'Oreal to remove the word 'whitening' from its products

Industry-leading French cosmetics company L'Oreal announced they will be removing words like "whitening" and "lightening" from their products after a number of beauty brands received backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality.

Good video, but it still doesn't explain why Iowa Michigan Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voted Republican. And as far as I'm concerned my family did not change from voting Democrat to Republican because of racial issues in the 60s. It was the Godless Lurch towards the left supported by the modern Democrat Party since after Carter.

I assume you mean in the 2016 election......and honestly its simple Hillary Clinton was the worst f**king candidate ever, she was horrible, anyone would have beat her regardless of what the Trumpers try to argue....Kasich or Rubio would have smashed Hillary by even more....

Trump was able to pull just enough rust belt blue collar white Dems who despised Hillary to swing those states when combined with much lower black turnout....those two things are why Trump is president.

For example here is 2016 primary results Clinton vs Bernie....and 2020 Biden vs Bernie

Michigan 2016 Michigan 2020

Bernie 50 Bernie 36
Clinton 48 Biden 52

It was not even close, the reason was the Dem that went to Trump came back over to Biden.....that's why Trump is down 8-10 pts in Michigan the same thing is happening in PA and WI.
 
I don't see how anyone thinks the parties "switched". Most republicans support Freedom/Liberty/Life. Makes sense that they would be against slavery and oppression. Just because most Republicans are against affirmative action, doesn't mean the platform has changed or switched. Republicans support freedom of oppression in most of the globe. Its why they are against communism, current Government of China and others that severly mistreat their citizens.

Now their stance against affirmative action and special treatment of certain so called groups is because its just that exactly.

Its idiocy to think you can be pro freedom and have to support affirmative action (which is not freedom), because that's dictating.

Kasich and Rubio wouldn’t have driven out the turnout Trump did in rural America. Lot of those places went hard R compared to they had been in many precious cycles. That’s one of the laziest arguments from Dems is that any candidate would have beaten Hillary. Trump exposed her flaws better than anyone else could have dreamed.

Exactly this. Sadly, I think Kasich, Rubio, Romney, McCain types always get their butts beat because they can't fight. Why else would liberals tout them as good candidates...LOL.

When Hillary asked Trump for his tax returns he told her he'd show them to her when she showed him her deleted emails. LOL. Trump was too witty for Hillary, anyone else would've cowered, well, except for Reagan.

And totally different than LA which is only about 35 miles to the North. Irvine would be about the only place I’d live if I had to live in the LA area. Very nice and friendly too.

Yep exactly. A mainstream candidate can’t win anymore. Have to be charismatic, and the Republicans couldn’t have nominated two worse candidates than McCain and Romney.
