have you met any republicans? Because...
a. the confederate flag - as it is used today - is the symbol of a proslavery movement
b. making sure that kids don't know our collective history, and are already starting to repeat things. oh and not to mention funding overwhelmingly supports white children and not POC children. But yeah, an offhand comment taken out of context is the same as actual policies that keep POC impoverished and beaten down.
c. The GOP dismantled policies put into place to eliminate segregation. Reminder for those who didn't study Civil Rights history in America, the "States Rights" argument used to repeal Roe v Wade was one of the biggest "justifications" for both slavery and systematic racism/segregation.
d. I genuinely don't know what you're referring to here, but I don't know any democrats who would come out with something as misinformed and false as <em>What is a Woman</em>, or <em>2000 Mules</em>. I'm happy to be proven wrong with a fact checked or scientific proof that there is. Histories about things we need to understand so we don't slip back into bad habits are GOOD. Noone is watching Schindler's List and rooting for the Nazis. Actually, members of the GOP are
e. Is this referring to Occupy Wallstreet? You have nothing more recent than more than a decade old? Either way, fear mongering as a tool is very GOP. It's almost laughably common nowadays. I mean, who can forget the Pawnee, IN style RNC from 2020?
f. You really wanna use this one? Because private prisons are overwhelmingly supported by GOP
I did like that, unlike many of the pro GOP trolls, you didn't mention underage sexual assault. That may be because that is ALSO more of a GOP favorite activity.
Projection. Projection. Projection.

"Bellant convincingly documents three arguments in this short, journalistic book. First, many people who had been active in Nazi or pro-Nazi groups in Eastern Europe in the 1930s and 1940s subsequently came to this country, often under the auspices of the Displaced Persons Commission. Second, many of these emigres then became active in political and ethnic groups affiliated with the Republican Party, providing financial and electoral support and crusading relentlessly against Communism. Third, and most important, some of the most unsavory elements of the anti-Communist right gained a foothold in official foreign policy circles under Reagan."
>Should the UK have let Der Sturmer and the Gestapo have offices in London?
Der Sturmer, yes; Gestapo, no. Little different, there.
>The Sandinistas shut down newspapers that were helping the US overthrow them. Were they Nazis?
No, they were Communists, left-wing authoritarians; Nazis are right-wing authoritarians. Similar methods, different goals.
I'm left-libertarian.
>Ok, so you support Russia's invasion.
/sigh
No.
>it's going to mean the end of an independent Ukraine
I think that is a given, yes.
>That's why i compare it to world war II.
That's absurd; we are not going to war over Ukraine. Frankly, I doubt we're going to war over Poland. Myself, I'm not going to war over Germany, France or even the UK...
>You really expect them to allow people working against them to continue to operate? This is literally Ukraine fighting for their survival as a country.
...but what does that mean if you have to silence half the country in order to do so? What is left of such a country that you would want to defend it?
Ukraine was offered a choice between closer ties with the EU and closer ties with Russia; they chose Russia, we incited nazis to coup the government, it started a civil war, and now Russia has gone in to deal with it.
I don't "support" Russia's invasion any more that I supported Bush's invasion of Iraq or Clinton's intervention in Yugoslavia or Johnson's intervention in Vietnam.
>No, I don't think it's going to be the holocaust but we've seen the way Russia rules people and it isn't nice.
Putin is awfully popular for that to be the case.
>Speaking of which Putin has shut down 100x times as much free speech since the war started, and yet you still support that side of the war.
I don't support Putin, Russia, or any side of the war.
How poor is your position that the only way you can argue is by misrepresenting my position?
that's ur only defense, huh?

The "It" wasn't a typo, it was referring to reality.
