:roll: OH for **** sake. They really have indoctrinated you well at those DNC meet ups. The Republican Party, for all its warts and flaws, is just as flawed as the Democratic Party. The Party of Inclusion ran old white people in the 2016 whereas the GOP, for the past few elections, have been running more women and minorities. Quit with the holier than thou schtick - the DNC is just as flawed and "evil" as the RNC.
The DNC is flawed, I agree. It's a weak organization with internal corruption that needs reform, but I give it credit for acknowledging the problems. Younger, more progressive candidates are beginning to slowly shape the party. And they're also beginning to run candidates which better represent their districts and states.

But from everything I've experienced since I began voting, only one party has been genuinely anti-American:

Republicans.

America is waking up to the hypocrisy of the left and alt-left...they only want opportunity, human freedom, progress and leadership for individuals who look, think, and act EXACTLY like them. GOP ain't the villain...that role is firmly occupied by ANTIFA and their ilk. Even black America is waking up to the bullshit that's been spewed by the left for 60+ years...when THAT fully happens, it's sayonara, baby. :nod:
I really hope you live a long time to see how dumb this sounds.

I disagree with many things JSO says, but he's right about one thing: demographics.

And it's not on the GOP's side. Republicans had a chance to sell us the conservative message, but they opted for greed and regressive policies. If Bush II wasn't bad enough, Trump's complete takeover of the party has destroyed any remaining chance to make meaningful gains among a changing electorate.

ps. Agreed, America is waking up. Even heavily gerrymandered areas are barely holding up at this point...

Trip - being close minded is no way to battle the people you perceive as closed minded. The GOP certainly has to answer for the cult of personality surround Trump...but Anti-American? That's just ridiculous and not based on any fact. It's only based on emotions.

You may take American values for granted, but I'm the first American-born person in my family's history. The fundamental ideas it's based on (liberty, justice, freedom, opportunity, happiness) are important to me and it's upsetting when people don't take it seriously or worse, actively ignore them for personal gains.

I'm genuinely ok with being called crazy, un-American, or whatever you will. I wouldn't be the first to be called those things for calling out unethical ideas and advocating for what's right. As the venerable Dr. King said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

Who said you were un-American? Your problem is that you've lost all reason, I can only guess because of Trump. You're certainly not alone Trip. I know a lot of people who have gone insane in the last year.

Trip, I am still waiting for you to describe what it is you don't like about things going on in America, and how the Republican Party is to blame for it.

I'm not saying that there isn't room for improvement, but throwing out blanket statements isn't helping your argument.

Be specific, otherwise you just sound ill-informed.

Trip, let me suggest you mention that we have a thoroughly dishonest President with the emotional stability and maturity of a 10 year old who is attacking, with some success, the institutions that protect us from Autocracy.

That's a start with respect to what a reasonable person might not like about what's going on in America right now.

So I take advantage of the OPPORTUNITY I’ve made for myself through the LIBERTY provided by this country and exercise my FREEDOM to pursue my HAPPINESS (which happens to be improving my life, my family’s life, and the lives of those around me) and somehow that’s not JUSTICE to you? You talk in circles, boy.

I’ve never met a 24-year old who thought they knew as much as you yet knew SOOOOO little. You have got a TON of growing up to do.

I'm not 24 (not sure why you think that since you've mentioned it twice now), and I've grown significantly more liberal as I've aged and seen how conservative policies treat people in the real world.

I started out as a conservative, like my dad, but even he's left the modern GOP. He was a Republican all the way from Reagan (which he still loves) to the end of the Bush Jr. years.
