These two never-trumper Republicans admitted that they've been wrong all along about the deep strain of racism in their party.

trump has made it ok to express it and the floodgates have been opened. White supremacy is being openly express by repugs.

Ronald Reagan sent out the first, tentative signals...

* He made the announcement of his Presidential run in Adelphia, MS where three civil rights workers were murdered.

* He talked about a black "welfare queen" who never existed and used that symbol to attack the food stamp and other social programs

* He referred to black males as "strapping young bucks"... again to attack welfare programs and black culture in general.

These were the dog whistles of hate....

I'll never forget a friend of mine admonishing me about Reagan after the election...he said, "Ronald Reagan is here to make us feel comfortable with our prejudices". He was right

What's new is that the Republicans are now speaking the unacceptable parts "out loud"...there are no more dog whistles...it's full frontal racism.

"Not every trump voter is a racist, xenophobic jerk. But all racist, xenophobic jerks are trump voters." We can't possibly tell the difference so we lump all trump voters together and assume the worst. Considering how trump has shown us his true colors since way before 8 November 2016, I think that's perfectly fair of us!

We're trying to find Rs we can unite with to defeat the trumprepubs. He's a knowledgeable and entertaining speaker.

piling on. They are shit...not impressed at all. Everything a RepthugliKKKan touches dies. These hypocrites and their enablers, all the way up to and including the coward-liar-pervert-traitor-in chief, like MJ and mika. Sickening.

My satellite cuts out volume occasionally, so I thought the sound had dropped momentarily. When I went back to see if I could hear what he said, it was obvious that it had been bleeped. Wow.
