Oh, the poor oppressed old white guy demographic. The ones who have enjoyed all manner of rights, whether it’s been voting, access to jobs or services, and free from discrimination on the basis of color.

They’re now oppressed? Really? Because everyone else is now entitled to the same rights they take for granted, these people simply can’t abide by the equality and justice under the law, so they’re throwing roadblocks up left and right.

Birth control access, abortion rights - those go to reducing rights for women across the board, all in an effort to get them back home, rather than in the workplace.

Voter ID, racial profiling, discrimination - those go to keeping minorities from climbing up the social ladder and advancing economically and socially.

Opposition to SSM, transgender rights, bathroom bills - all to keep a minority in the closet (literally and figuratively), while harming them economically and socially.

That’s the modern GOP.
That’s the right wing media drumbeat.

And that’s what Democrats are fighting to stop.

So when someone says the parties are all alike - that’s just so much BS.
