    I dont know, Democrats, which party tried to keep slaves? Which party tried to keep former slaves from arming themselves? Which party still tries to keep minorities from arming themselves? Is it the Democrats?

        I’ll be the first to admit, it was a great PR strategy. Amazing propaganda. They changed the perception of the democrats, without actually changing any policies.

        The democrats still hate minorities, and they are still trying to keep minorities from arming themselves. And yes, gun control is in fact racist.

          Again, tell me which state governor had a meltdown when the Black Panthers started arming themselves…

          I’ll pretend you need a few minutes to look it up… even though you know it was Regan.

      So… those were democrats who carried a confederate flag into the Capitol on 1/6?

      Is it democrats fighting to keep statues of traitors in public spaces?

      Is it democrats saying “heritage not hate”?

        You do realize that most Klansmen are democrats, right? I know it’s hard to admit there’s bad people on your side, but that’s the truth.

          You’re literally ignoring almost a century of verifiable history.

          So again, who carried the confederate battle flag into the Capitol?

            I don’t know. Who did the Klan vote for again? I forget.

                  I see you’re just ignoring the present in favor of the past.

                  Typical Republican.

                  Remember when you were crying about how everyone thought you were fascist? God damn that was funny. “You can’t use our word!” LMAO!

                  I guess “no u” really is the best you’ve got.

              AOC is a neo-nazi? Also didn’t Byrd denounce his KKK past and become a champion of civil rights during his career?

              I love how Conservatives always like to have it both ways.

              So should we take Byrd at his word that he was wrong and would say so until his dying day?

              Should we believe Omar when she says that she abhors the genocide that she is speaking out against?

              Should we believe conservatives when they proudly fly the flags of hatred, white supremacy, and slavery?

              You know that you’re on the side of white nationalism, but you have to try to muddy the waters because that’s what cryptofascists do.

              But go on and ignore cover up the fact that people who fly that racist traitor flag are all Republicans. That’ll make it look like you care about honestly finding out who the real white supremicists are LMAO!

                I’m just applying the left’s rules to them. It’s a perfectly valid play. Hell, it’s hypocrisy if they didn’t play by their own rules.

                  Your lies don’t make it hypocrisy.

                  We know that David Duke voted for the same person as you in 2020.
