“…other Republicans are tip toeing around instead of denouncing their hateful, racist statements…”
Raised in a Repub household my questions began late… your paragraph raises memories of my learning about DixieCrats being asked to leave a party…
I can’t recall if I ever questioned who prompted that move…
As a lifetime Arizonan (been here since I was 17), I can tell you Wendy Rogers is a real POS. She is anti-Semitic, homophobic, racist a white power kind of girl. To top that off, she is crazy. And yet our governor Ducey says of her she is still better than her opponent.
And therein lies the problem. Here in Mesa AZ, if Satan himself were running as a Republican against a Democrat named Jesus Christ, 90% of the Republicans would vote for Satan and the other 10% would not vote or would find an alternate candidate. The one thing they would not be able to do is vote for a Democrat. They have been completely brainwashed about the evils of Democrats and they believe every word of it.
In my 5 + decades of voting and watching government there have been idiot democrats however far far fewer than among the republicans. I have read up on what the candidate stands for and then thought carefully about my vote. I don’t vote reflexively based on a D or an R after someone’s name on a ballot… But I’ve yet to pull the lever (so to speak) for a GOPer
People keep saying Democrats are in trouble. So lemme get this straight…
Americans are going to line up and vote for this racist bunch of Nazi insurgents whose primary goal is to put Donald Trump back in office OVER Joe Biden and the Democratic Congress and Senate who have done more to help the country recover from the previous disaster of an administration??? I don’t understand how that could even be a remote possibility.
Republicans have no problem with their Far-Right calling Democrats Commies. It’s only when some of them get splattered with the same mud that they object.
