First they enacted Nixon's racist Southern Strategy
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they welcomed White Conservative Fundamentalists into the party's inner circle
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they embraced Hate Radio, Fox News and the whole Conservative propaganda grievance machine
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they adopted the politics of Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, Karl Rove and Lee Atwater
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they cheered on the War in Iraq and used it to demonize all opposition
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they put on stupid hats, called themselves a "Tea Party" and had an eight-year-long racist primal scream because Democrats elected a black guy
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they put on different stupid hats, called themselves "MAGA," and nominated and elected the King of the Birthers.
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they nominated the King of the Birthers again
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they tried to overthrow the government when the King of the Birthers lost
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then they brought him back and elected him again
And I did not speak out
Because I'm not "political".
Then the King of the Birthers looted the treasury, put armed masked goons in the streets to intimidate and murder American citizens, launched a disastrous war for no explicable reason, torched our alliances, and generally fucked this country up almost beyond repair
But somehow none of that is my fault
Because I'm not "political".

Yes but the Democrats...
For the record, the right has media beaten the people of this state to see Democratic minded people as evil, bad, snakes , snails and puppy dog tails.
So one of my best shots at crow barring out a
GOP senator with lots of money to media blitz. An independent has a better shot by far to oust him and I am taking it.
The scent of liberal i bubble gum eases tension. and has a chance.
If I may share a both sider, letter to editor in my local paper. the other day.
(No, not mine).
"Dial down rhetoric on both sides"
In regard to plot to kill people at UFC fight at White House. John Roberts of the news, "America Reports" said, "If you demonize someone enough, some crackpot somewhere is going to rise up and take action". That observation applies broadly-including Donald Trump repeatedly calling democrats and democratic parry "Crazy".
Violence against either side is intolerable, Which side is responsible? Both need to take their share of the blame. Both sides need to take steps to bring us together, not call names, bully people or take actions to alienate the other side.
Our leaders should promote Policies that make all people's lives better, not just those on their side of the aisle.
--- There is one side of the political spectrum that has become adept at lying and making false accusations. Hell, that same side were recently lecturing the Pope for preaching peace over war and death.
Do you think that in the last presidential election that Kamala and Walz were shameful for calling Trump and his team and supporters were "Weird", for things like
They are eating dogs and cats or Kamala is ,- Pssst- black. Ues, there is much worse.
There are voters that respond excitedly to campaign shit slinging. That is a vote for decisive. despicable representation.
Campaigning against such MULARKY does not mean you should disarm.
When one side behaves reprehensible and despicable toward you or others. Calling it what it is and being accurate should mean you do not get subjected to be placed in the Both sides condemnation.
