    You could have stopped right there in bold. Thanks for the information on the Fair Housing Act too. Those racist republicans aren't the racists they have been tagged with by black people and the democratic party.

    Biden: "They are going to put you back in chains." That's impossible as the democratic party which has done nothing for blacks as evidenced by Trump getting larger shares of their votes in, well, I can't remember when as the democrats have kept blacks in chains on their federal reservations.

    I've explained myself clearly. It's you who chooses to live in ignorance of the facts.

    You want to explain to me why you haven't commented on Biden's opposition to bussing, the debate video, and Biden being buddies with and the democratic party being the landing spot for Byrd, a former recruiter for the KKK in the 1940s.

    It was the Southern Democrats/Dixiecrats the politicians who became or were replaced by Republicans who kept Blacks on reservation and said reservations were state correctional institutions and some are little changed from what they were back in the days of Jim Crow segregation, the Louisiana State Prison at Angola coming immediately to mind.

    Dixie's Long Journey from Democratic Stronghold to Republican Redoubt
    Many Southerners have stood by traditional values on social issues as well — including guns, school prayer, abortion and same-sex marriage. And these voters have found their conservative stands more welcome in the Republican Party than in the Democratic.

    Here are a few of the major milestones in the migration of these Southern voters. 1954 The Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that "separate but equal" schools were inherently unequal. This became the basis for a school integration effort still bearing fruit and causing conflict today. In parts of the South, "massive resistance" to Brown strained state and federal relations much as the anti-slavery movement had done in the mid-1800s.

    1964 The Civil Rights Act was passed despite a months-long filibuster by Southern Democrats. The filibuster was broken by the rest of the Democrats in the Senate in league with most of the chamber's Republicans — but not all. Six Republicans voted with the Dixiecrats, and one was Barry Goldwater of Arizona, who was that year's GOP nominee for president. One of the filibuster leaders was Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, who switched his party allegiance to Republican and backed Goldwater for president. President Lyndon Johnson was elected in a landslide that November, but Goldwater carried Thurmond's home state and its Deep South neighbors: Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. It was a harbinger of things to come, when these states would help flip all the "Solid South" from D to R in the Electoral College.

    politically those dixiecrats align a lot more with the modern maga movement. Why do you suppose they were registered as democrats in the first place? They were pissed at Lincoln over the emancipation proclamation. It is disingenuous to suggest that the modern democratic party is pro slavery. PUH- leeze...

    So that's why Biden was in church while Trump was at a political rally? So he could oppose God? By going to God's house and all that? Or is Biden's church one of those devil-worshipping ones?

    Judas was the disciple who kissed Christ, and we know he occupies the worst place in hell for what he did. What we do reveals who we are, regardless of how much we go to church. We know Biden based on what he advocates for.

    Conservatives and MAGAts are really bad with analogies, both crafting and understanding them.

    And one can know much about someone based upon their response or “rating” of this post, especially a rating of “funny” and “come on man”.

    It is not a typo. 1/3 of our nation has died in the American abortion holocaust. Biden supports that holocaust as a human right, and many Americans support it and celebrate it. Trump has slipped in his resistance to the American abortion holocaust as well.

    So you're supporting a rapist because of their view on abortion?

    It is not just a view. It is a view that has been imposed on society. That implementation has resulted in 1/3 of our country being murdered in cold blood, and it continues everyday. Also, I don't believe Trump is a rapist.

    I hope neither of them end up there, but that is where all sin takes people if they choose to live in it.

    what are the policies that Trump has passed or tried to pass to reduce abortions? Come to think of it, I don't recall you EVER arguing for policies to reduce abortion. Sounds like you just like drama queening about it. Sounds like Trump might have 34 more convictions than you do.

    Of course you don't and any other thing he's done regarding the harming of others whether physical or financial. Gotta protect him at all costs
