re: #467 Targetpractice

“Bobby” was never going to rise very far in the party. He and “Nikki” were always going to slam into that glass ceiling labeled “Whites Only” that the Repubs continue to insist doesn’t exist. The only reason they were even willing to consider Rubio is because they needed Florida and “Ted” is white enough to fool them into thinking he’s one of them.

I remember when they bragged about Mia Love. And it was like really, it took y’all to 2012 to elect your first African-American woman and you seriously want to play the stupid semantic games about the parties and civil rights. I mean I’ll be the first to give the GOP pre Southern Strategy credit though it’s more complicated than that- read about the Great Flood of 1928 and Hoover’s weak response to it. One of the better Republicans on Civil Rights funnily enough may have been Harding. He was a crook otherwise or at the very least crook adjacent.
