at least watching those four candidates try to out-moron each other to appeal to the base will be interesting to say the least

I brought this up in the Alabama thread. I don’t know the Mooney guy, but until he says something as stupid as what the others have done, he has my vote.

Whoever wins is just going to vote how Mitch McConnell wants, but at least don’t be an embarrassment.

On second thought, maybe I want an embarrassment for my Senator. Then maybe the people of Alabama will actually consider voting for someone without an R by their name and realize that not all Democrats are socialist libtards.

the gop is now all in (well, they have been for a while) embracing brazen racism. it's really sickening to watch republicans twist themselves in knots justifying and excusing this.

i honestly never thought we would be back in this spot as a country, but apparently white nationalism is a hell of a drug.

What They Mean When They Say 'Send Her Back'

This is because Trump and his ilk believe that this country belongs to them and that everyone else—non-whites, non-Christians and people who use more than a “pinch of salt”—are not the real Americans. Because of this, they have the authority to do to us what they will, including the right to lynch, segregate, disenfranchise, miseducate and—if they so choose—to send us back.

And this is why they are also the most un-American of all.

Because, at the heart of their belief is their willingness to disregard the Constitution, the law, history and everything that they believe makes their country the greatest place on earth. They don’t truly believe all men are created equal, that Americans have freedom of religion or that there should be liberty and justice for all. To them, there is one thing more important than their country, their flag and the idea of America:

Whiteness.

But this is not new. It is as it has always been. There is no difference between the slave owners, the Confederates, the Know-Nothings, Klansmen, the segregationists, the Tea Partiers and the MAGAts. They are all white supremacists.

And that, dear reader, is the most American thing of all.

Sadly... its true. I once thought a good portion of Trumpers were more Anti-Hillary, something new, and anti establishment voters, but the more and more time passes I truly believe we have people that wish the Nazis would've conquered America in 1945 instead of the other way around. I have seen and heard so much about how judges should be locked up because they ruled the Census question is unconstitutional , This person is anti American for not standing for MY flag, and how the 50's was the best years of the USA over this past week alone to show me that I gave Trumpers too much credit.

Trump may not be Hitler or Mussolini, but he is paving the way for them with each institution he destroys or weakens.

Nicholas Kristof nails this in his times opinion piece

potentially pay walled (not for me)

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/20/opinion/sunday/republicans-united-states.html

The tragedy of today’s Republican Party lies partly in how far it has tumbled from its heights.This is the party of Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. It is the party that built interstate highways, championed family planning, founded the Environmental Protection Agency, opened relations with China, confronted the Soviet Union and managed the collapse of Communism.
It is the party that under Ronald Reagan welcomed refugees. It is the party of men who exemplified decency like George H.W. Bush and adherence to a moral compass like John McCain.
At a rally in 2008, McCain corrected a questioner who called Barack Obama untrustworthy and an “Arab.” “No, ma’am,” McCain told the crowd. “He’s a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues.”
Today that Grand Old Party has devolved into a personality cult surrounding a racist demagogue who incites a mob to chant about a Somali-American member of Congress: “Send her back!”
