and by disturbing I of course mean it's disturbing how the Democrats are trying to re-envision history so that THEY were the non racists!

To be fair, being anti-slavery didn't mean you weren't racist. Just that you wanted to Make America Great Again by making more lovely agricultural jobs available for white folks.

The thing about Trump is that he's actually talking about the things that are affecting white working class people like outsourcing. If Trump weren't such a lovely candidate the GOP would be coasting into the white house this year.

Nobody cares about white people, they're all rich and not the leading demographic on federal assistance.

Republicans were pretty much always considered the conservative party and Democrats the Liberal Party. But back in the 1800s Liberal and Conservative meant totally different things. Andrew Jackson was considered an ultra-left liberal even though he's pretty much the 1800s equivalent of Donald Trump. Thomas Jefferson, also considered a radical liberal, is like a 1700s version of Ron Paul.

It's hard to imagine early Republicans like Abraham Lincoln and especially radical Republicans like Thaddeus Stevens as conservatives, but most of them were former Whigs (the previous conservative party), and many Democrats felt Republicans, like the Whigs, largely represented wealthy northern industrial interests. Back then conservatism was still associated with big government and the monarchy, and many Republicans (who were the progressives of the 1800s) were very much in favor of expanding government power while Democrats were still mostly classically liberal, opposed to big federal government, and more in favor of local government and states rights.

So it's the switch in the definition of the words "conservative" and "liberal" that has more to do with the party realignment during the progressive era of the 1890s-early 1900s (when the Democrat Party started to become more populist and started to replace the Republicans as the more progressive party). The realignment didn't complete, however, until 1968 with Nixon's infamous Southern Strategy.

Yes. Correct. Now get back in character.

Man, Obummer is trying to make gay queer trans marriage mandatory and we need to take America back from those faggots.

Good thing I'm armed for when the Gay Marriage Police Death Panel come for me! Didn't need any government assistance to buy these guns!

Ah yes, the one day out of the year when people pay taxes. Who actually waits for the deadline? I just file my return when I get my W-2, and associate "tax season" with getting cashback. Are libertarians so incompetent with finance and payroll forms that they end up owing every tax day?

All taxation is theft.

Libelous Slander posted:

Are there actual bathroom statutes on the books? I always thought facilities were provided as a courtesy and societal norms enforced adherence. We already bend the rules for opposing gender children with a parent in the restroom. Also, when one bathroom becomes unuseable, it is common for the remaining bathroom to automatically become unisex. tbh i've never seen so much focus on bathrooms and genders until the past few years.

I really need to pull myself up by my bootstraps and build myself another bathroom in my house (I don't need to follow liberal building safety codes while doing it either) because my current single unisex bathroom in my house is nothing but a tranny magnet.

I made the mistake of friending a friend of a friend on Facebook who seems to have made it his life's mission to correct me on my evil single payer healthcare-wanting not-dying ways. Hates Trump, but loves Scott Walker and Libertarians. Lives in the suburbs, so he doesn't have to interact with people that are different than him. Really kind of pissing me off.

Sorry for breaking character ITT. I will probably have some real juicy nugs soon.
