    People people are not swayed by the Republican xenophobic BS.

    They vote for things like universal healthcare and fair worker treatment.

    They vote for Democrats.

If you want my take on it, you'll have to post to this original PoliTalker thread. I refuse to be an enabler for online bullies, so I won't post to a stolen thread. I won't even read it. If you don't see me, PoliTalker, posting in this thread check the author. This might be a hijacked thread, not the original.

    Republicans are deathly frightened; see the ticking time clock on the wall and are doing whatever they can to hold back the hands of time.

    Everybody knows immigration is not hurting the economy because even with all this immigration, legal or not, the economy is doing great.

    Republicans are going to lose power. It is only a matter of time. They are just trying to grab as much dirty wealth as they can while they have the chance.

    The stupid thing is they think they have to have some kind of unfair advantage to get rich but really, when the economy works for everybody that doesn't exclude them.

    Silly Republicans! It is a mass embracing of the dead end win/lose philosophy, when win/win promises a bright future for everyone. Hello. There is no 'lose' in win/win.

    Mean people think if they don't do to others before others get the chance, that others will do it to them. They can't understand benevolence, don't want to drop their guard, allow the slightest bit of vulnerability. The real problem is if you don't love yourself, nobody else is going to love you.

    This wisdom is one of the reasons I like Marianne Williamson.

    America's soul needs healing, and Williamson not only sees the problem, but has the cure.

    Will we listen?
    LOL. And, YOU want ILLEGALS all here to GAIN votes and power by offering them a buffet of free stuff.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    Illegals cannot vote. You can understand that, can't you? And they do not qualify for help. I suppose charities can help them if they want. Do you know about the Illegal Immigrant Reform act of 1996? https://www.huffpost.com/entry/no-un...b010527d6780b0 Rightys say the dumbest things and believe anything Fox tells them,

    Good job of parroting the propaganda.

    Don't think.

    Don't consider my point for even a second.

    Go right to the dictated messaging.

    That's the Republican safe place.

    I made a good point.

    But it is a troubling point for Republicans, a point that hits Waaaaaay too close to home.

    The reason it is so troubling is because it is true.

    The truth always hurts the worst.

    The demographics of the nation is changing and the nation is moving away from the Republican party.

    And now the party has been reduced to supporting the highly immoral President Trump.

    You should be ashamed.

    You should be very ashamed.

    The Republican party used to stand for responsible budgeting and family values.

    My, how the party has abandoned it's own core tenets, traded them for raw power, just to make the super-rich richer.

    That's ugly in itself, but if that isn't ugly enough to see Republicans shrugging over a completely irresponsible trillion dollar deficit in a booming economy, and ripping crying children from their parents (about as anti-family as can be imagined) now we see them at a rally chanting for Americans they disagree with to leave the country and picking on women of color. How deplorable.

    It is shockingly sad to see how low the Republican party has sunk.

    Republicans telling themselves all the things they once deplored are now fine as long as it gives them power.

    And when I point out the unmistakable demographics, all you can do is spout 'WHATABOUTISM.'

    (And really, what else have you GOT???)

    Looks to me like the con job is complete.

    The greedy billionaire has got the party wrapped around his little finger.

    Sadly they would embrace the devil himself if he entertained their hate & biases.............

    The leadership unapologetically supports anyone that is willing to carry their water.........
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote.

    Sad but true.

    There doesn't seem to be any bottom for how low they can sink.

    What a master conman!

    Republicans don't have a good outlook for strong support in the future. They've already got very strong support among those old white guys who still cling to the Republican party and it is unlikely they can build much more additional support. Sadly, the only way for Republicans to cling to power is to go to the dark side with dirty tricks such as voter suppression and gerrymandering. Very shameful.

    Meanwhile, Democrats are much more accepting of diverse views, the rights of minorities, immigrants, women, LBGTQ, low wage workers, reproductive rights, people with tats and piercings, anti gun slaughter activists, liberals, Democratic Socialists, Native Americans, Hispanics, Puerto Ricans, the down trodden, your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, the homeless, the tempest-tost.

    No Trumps for President ever again.

    America has learned that Trumps are not good for America or other friendly nations.

    You have got to know deep down in your heart that the only reason Republicans hate immigrants is because they tend to vote Democratic.

    Man? If they voted Republican?

    The flood gates would be opened wide.

    They would be SO anti-wall you couldn't mention the word without being attacked by Fox news.
