re: #529 HappyWarrior

I don’t think the GOP really wants to work on attracting more POC. I really don’t because , if it were true, they’d knock off some of the mess within the party ranks. I won’t join a political party that pretends to be servants of God but in reality is doing what I see as the devil’s work. I won’t join a political party that appears to embrace hate, racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, Islamophobia, and other ugly junk. No, thanks. I think that my background, having been forced to grow up under Jim Crow strongly influence my feelings about the GOP. I could see myself being a member of the GOP if the party were similar today to the way it was in the 1950s and early 1960s, before the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Act were passed, but not today’s GOP. I just couldn’t. I see the party’s members mistreat so many Americans and get its jollies from doing it, and I’ll have none of that.
