Hello signalmankenneth,
That's awesome.
Anybody who has been duped by this really insecure 'white replacement' theory needs to have a serious wake-up call.
Liberty and Justice For All.
That doesn't mean you can pretend there are no gay people or that public schools should conform to your lily-white straight church beliefs.
America is a diverse nation where we are supposed to Live and let live.

What are you talking about? The Republican party doesn't discriminate they accept all people, conservatives, liberals.
Look at Trump he is a New York liberal
It's the democrats who discriminate they are the ones who are trying to get rid of the last pro life candidates in the party
America must be a diverse home for all

Hello and welcome Bear513,
I am glad you have found us. I hope you enjoy the discussions. I am liberal, you are not. There is a lot of hatred for liberals. I don't want to hear it and I refuse to read it if it is directed at me. That is a waste of my time.
Please understand that I enjoy talking politics but insist on mutual respect. I refuse to get into online abuse or enabling. Please know that everyone who attacks me personally will be placed on permanent Ignore without exception and no second chances are given. First time it happens, that is when they go on Ignore. If that is acceptable, I hope we have lots of great discussions. Anybody who comes in here with any designs to tell me off or unload their hatred or frustrations on liberals and targets me as a part of that gets placed on Ignore.
I want to be pleasant to everybody, and have them be pleasant to me in return. Please note my 'signature' found at the bottom of every post. I mean every word I say, and I do stand behind what I say with action.
I am going to be nice to you. If you are not nice to me we will not be talking. OK, rant over. Onward to your point.
The Republican party accepts all who join. They are happy to have any vote they can get. Unfortunately the greatest motivator for joining the Republican party these days is hatred of liberals. The Republican party is full of racists, xenophobes and government haters. The Republican party has been stolen by power junkie DT who does not respect his followers or care about them. All he wants is their vote. He has infected the party with terrible morals. The Republican party is in the process of dismantling our voting system to produce more Republican winners regardless of how the people vote.
Many Republicans are resentful hateful people, others simply look the other way at this and vote with them out of greed or the two main wedge issues, gun safety and abortion.
DT is no liberal. He is a con man. He has no embrace of the ideals of either party. He is his only concern.

It is extremely rare to encounter an ardent Trump supporter at JPP who can conduct a mutually respectful conversation. I know of none currently posting.
Everyone is allowed to support any politician they like. I disagree with the reasons for supporting DT, but I am not going to be judgemental of anyone who has made that choice. I will calmly talk to you if you are that rare Trump supporter who can avoid venting on me.
Actually, there used to be (only) one Trump supporter in here who was polite. But he vanished during the pandemic and we never learned why. He was rather outspoken against any measures to prevent the spread of COVID, so we are all wondering if the virus got him.
It is understandable why I believe hatred is such a large motivator for DT voters. That is just about all I have gotten out of them.
I maintain that if all the hate-motivated votes of both parties were not counted? Democrats would win nearly every election.

Hello cawacko,
Joe has a history of gaffes. I imagine he regrets that comment.
It is not sensible why anyone who is not independently wealthy would vote for DT. A vote for him or the Republican party is a vote against one's own better interests. DT only cares about himself. He is only going to favor the super-wealthy because he is in that group. Everything else he does is simply pandering to the mob.
America needs to rise above the hatred encouraged and co-opted by DT. That is our best way forward.
Our diversity is our strength. We bring many views, talents and experiences to the table, all of us put together. That is an advantage. Our challenge is to drop all of this animosity and learn to work together. That will be how we can make America as great as she can be.
Not through hatred and exclusion of immigrants. We can use immigrants to build our nation stronger. All we have to do is let them in, put them to work, and let them start contributing to our economy, building things, providing services, creating jobs, working jobs, building and being part of communities, and paying taxes.
That's how we build a better America.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
In a diverse country people can vote for whomever they like. If you're complaining about white supremacy the basic definition of white supremacy is a white person telling a black person that they aren't really black unless they think/act a certain way. Have you ever heard of a white person being told they aren't white because they vote Green, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian? I haven't. So why shouldn't the same apply for black (or any other group of) people?
Gaffs are you say something stupid one time and learn from it. Joke isn't a gaff machine, he's a stupid racist. He's said racist shit repeatedly over the years. He hasn't learned from his mistakes either.
I'd say--And while Trump is clearly a bloviating, narcissistic, braggard, blowhard, and exaggerator--most of the hatred directed at him comes from the exact same people that support Biden the most.
Also, while America can use and needs immigrants, it doesn't need masses of illegal ones, particularly those that are criminals, mentally ill, sickly, and / or imbeciles. That sort are nothing but a drain on our economy and society, yet with next to zero border controls--like Biden is doing--that sort is flooding into the country right now. We do NOT need illegal immigrants for a goddamned thing.
