The GOP has been running on racism since slavery ended: why are you shocked by stochastic terrorism now?
My dude: you are part of the problem. Learn to like learning.I am not looking that word up.
Not quite. But the old GOP is not the current GOP and the old Democrats are not the current Democrats. One must remember it was the Republicans(old style) that ended slavery and the Democrats(old style) that passed Jim Crow laws. Generation changes took hold of both parties, most quickly in the 60s, but the shift started before that and continues today.The GOP has been running on racism since slavery ended: why are you shocked by stochastic terrorism now?
Yup. Under Kennedy and Johnson the old racist Dixiecrats started to get pushed out of the Democratic party, and Nixon welcomed them into the GOP with open arms:the old GOP is not the current GOP and the old Democrats are not the current Democrats.
Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual.
After action report - I am flummoxed and encouraged. My dad does not know how Vance or Walz are. It is encouraging because he has soured enough on Trump that he is not even paying attention to this race.I am having lunch with my dad tomorrow. Maybe I should ask him about Vance. My bias might be getting in the way, but to me he seems empty and smarmy, regardless of his politics. I don't think I would like him in any case.
I mean, she is part of Trump's entourage... for some reason... that he's not willing to share...This is not a fight, this is Loomer telling MTG to shut up and sit down. And sit down now. All because she believes she's got the backing of the Orange Piss Pot.
The haitians were a target of opportunity: something stupid came up near a place that was home to lots of refugees. That was all they needed. If it hadn't been them, in ohio, it would have been some group, somewhere else. They didn't need anything other than the hate to attempt to rekindle the base.I wonder what convinced them that getting everybody angry at Haitians specifically is what's going to win the election for them?
He didn't really choose the Haitians exactly. You can only talk so much about geography and statistics before people are bored. If you really want to scare them you need a specific threat. And since illegal immigrants work hard not to draw attention to themselves, it isn't the easiest thing to find something scary about them. Someone publicly accused them of eating their cat. Trump has to get as much mileage out of it as he can.I wonder what convinced them that getting everybody angry at Haitians specifically is what's going to win the election for them?
