There seems to be a strong correlation between condemning the KKK and losing.

I'm really looking forward to the revisionist history of the Trump campaign where we all have to pretend this poo poo wasn't as racist as gently caress. Should only be 2 years out, tops.

Radish posted:Exactly. GOP candidates have had easy mode for years where they are allowed to say lies, not explain their positions or how their plans are supposed to work, and use thinly veiled dog whistles to signal their base that they hate the right people without much, if any, sort of critique. Trump is just more in your face and unapologetic about it and pundits, party insiders, and the media in general are SHOCKED that this is happening. The media is so used to the philosophy of "the truth is in the middle" and quietly not calling out the norm of blatant lies and delusions from the other side as Serious People that it is a genuine shock to the system when someone like Trump pulls back the veil so blatantly and shows that the Emperor in fact has no clothes.

Unzip and Attack posted:In which a bunch of obese dipshits make fun of a Silver Star winning combat veteran while lauding the military prowess of a draft dodging chickenhawk who went AWOL from the loving Air National Guard during wartime and faced no consequences. I'm ashamed to admit this poo poo worked on me in 2004. I was convinced Kerry was some hippie traitor who spat on his own brothers. Just a horrid reminder of how effective a smear campaign can be on those not following politics, or more importantly verifying the facts of each big statement.

Your Dunkle Sans posted:I still don't understand how the 'Dean scream' sunk Howard Dean. It was a goofy scream and the microphone was accidentally set too loud, so what? A lot of other people have resisted far worse gaffes, why was that enough to ruin him politically? Most media outlets are owned by a handful of large corporations and if they don't want dean then they'll find something to hammer you with so you don't want him either.

I will at least live to see Texas turn blue I mean unless the GOP change anything they stand for even slightly in the next 10 years instead of just endlessly doubling down How many states at this point are both red and net contributors in tax revenue? Just Texas maybe, and even then there's the huge "not counting border control/immigration" asterisk. CW2 is going to be a whole bunch of regions like Eastern Oregon trying to hop over to a different state but nobody will take them because they're a huge welfare drain Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Mar 1, 2016 |

The problem is turnout. Old racist assholes turn out at incredible rates--young people are too busy working two jobs to pay off staggering student loan and medical debt and have to squeeze in early voting.

I lived in a rural community and come from a military family. I was selling tires for Walmart of all places, and surrounded by mothers and wives of marines. Nonstop yellow ribbons and jingoism. I was already realizing that the Republican party was not where I belonged, but along comes Kerry; the worst possible candidate. My loathing of hippies and their supposed hatred of Are Troops took over at the worst time.
