FIFY.

It’s because Granpappy would roll over in his grave. Note the last sentence of the image text below.
It did not die in 36 seconds.
It died in the 1-2 seconds the legislator asked for a second, and the Speaker moved on.
TN is the new(old) Alabama or Arkansas.

“It’s beyond shocking that anyone in the year 2018 has to ask the RSLC or RNC why they won’t condemn neo-nazism,” Wexler-Waite said in a Friday statement. “The actions of the GOP-controlled Tennessee legislature are a punch in the gut to everything this country stands for and an insult to Jews, people of color, and all who have suffered at the hands of right wing extremists."
Not to mention the tens of thousands of Americans who fought and died, were tortured, or wounded for life in WWII anti-fascist campaigns in both the Atlantic and Pacific.

Where would those “votes” go? If the Nazis don’t vote, what is the harm? If they form their own party, they will see “also ran” for many cycles.
Sounds like a deal made with the devil.

excellent point D. Thanks for being the bright spot on this page. Though I’m sure you’re glad you got your eyeball tattoo before the law took effect.

For years you would hear the Broderite meme directed at Liberals “Stand up to the base” or the now timeworn “Do a sister Soulja” who was just a marginally known rapper/author with a hit at 150 or so on Billboard.
These folks don’t even have the gumption to stand up to a bunch of Nazis.

Not to mention that they’re all quick to bitch about “sanctuary cities” and are eager to become federal enforcement officers and Mexican gangs, blah, blah, blah.
But hometown Nazis? “Whoa, whoa, let’s slow things down here a bit.”

O.MI.GOD. These clueless aholes. They wonder why CHILDREN march? Because most ‘adults’ in their lives fk up everything they touch. I don’t know which is more appalling…the fact they wouldn’t vote for the resolution or the lame excuse they ‘thought’ would fly.

Tennessee’s history during the Civil War is rather complex.
Tennessee was the last state to secede from the Union, and they didn’t secede until after Lincoln called for volunteers after Fort Sumpter. (Their vote to secede was more anti-war than pro-slavery) And even after secession, eastern Tennessee still supported the Union - Tennessee had as many volunteers fighting for the Union as the rest of the Confederate states combined.
Of course, they still have idiots in their state, but their racists like to ignore the portions of Tennessee’s history that don’t reflect their agendas.

If you side with NeoNazis because you don’t want to call them a domestic terrorist group, that pretty much admits they are.

Well, just to be snarky,
I lived there during the civil war for 5 years. Just outside of Nashville
I moved away from there 7 months ago. lol
But I get your point.
We’d love to condemn the nazis just not our nazis.
I bet those refusing to condemn neo nazis and white supremicists wear lapel flag pins. Patriotic my ass. It was Nazis who declared war on the USA Dec. 11 1941! Letting these vermin out from under their rocks is how Hitler started. Unfortunately these Republican lawmakers are too young to remember Hitler and what it did to the world then. And now they are looking at the same circumstance now and are too stupid to know it.
