to be honest, this projection business and the outright lying about what is going on is the absolute crux of the issue….

The Democratic Party realized that they had supported some really shitty positions in the past, going back to the civil war, mostly dealing with racism and Jim Crow and with the death of Kennedy and the politicking of LBJ, did their best to be more inclusive and deal with their racism by attempting to put real legislative measures in place to start treating POC as equals.

was it perfect, hardly, but it was a step towards righting a wrong. the public evolution of people like Robert Byrd and actual policy to make improvements in the lives of POC showed a genuine attempt to try and heal what was still at the root of our issue as a country.

the GOP instead chose to continue to wrap themselves in the legacy of Lincoln in public but in Private made their own deal with the Devil in adopting the Southern Strategy and have been in denial about their own problem with racism ever since. They will continue to deny it as if they were the damn Bene Gesserits confronted with their own Kwisach Sadderach (Obama) whose very existence caused them to lose their ever loving minds and deny all of his accomplishments and to undermine him (and the Dems) at every waking turn.

I honestly believe that until they face and reconcile their own racism and misogyny, they’ll never be able to function as a political party ever again, instead they’ll simply devolve into nothing like the Whigs as more and more people come to their senses… I almost wish that they would have their fucking Lee J Cobb moment in 12 Angry Men but it seems like they want to come back to the judge with a hung jury instead…..

they refuse to eat their political broccoli and we all have to suffer because the dog keeps on eating all the shit they drop on the floor even though they already have a bowl of kibble….
