Marjorie Taylor Greene says BLM protests are ‘the same tactics the Ku Klux Klan used to use’

[Indlib]

The parties didn't 'swap geographic locations' of north and south. In fact, the correlation is more closely related now to heavily urban areas vs suburban and rural. And it's a mix in each state - not one or the other. Go to upstate New York and you'll find more Republicans. Downtown Austin, Dallas, or Houston, and you'll find more Democrats. The hardcore racist democrats didn't suddenly en masse switch parties - they gradually faded away - dying off, leaving the party, or changing views to conform to more mainstream society. Sure, you'll still find some at the fringes, but it doesn't reflect the parties.

My point - which was lost a while back apparently - is that when someone talks about "the party of Jim Crow" - that refers to the Democrat party. It's a part of their history that everyone would like to leave behind, but we should never forget. What Republican groups have proposed is NOTHING like Jim Crow laws. That claim is charged rhetoric without any real basis.

Yes. I am a ware that rural areas tend to be Republican and urban areas tend to be Democrat. This happens regardless of the political leanings of the states themselves.

So democrats died off in the south and "faded away"? So the repubs in the south did the same thing?

I guess I don't see how "dying off" explains why repubs now lean heavily in the south and dems lean heavily in the north.

Its almost as if "dying off" is the same as switched parties.

Have you ever looked at the differences bt the 1956 and 1964 presidential election electorial maps?

How many voters would have had to die off to account for this?

 

[reflechissez]

Not to get too nitpicky, but the democrat party, is in fact, the party of Jim Crow.

You think you would have been a republican in the mid -19th century?

 

[dcsports]

But that’s not happening. GOP is trying to re-install racist voting laws because they feel Black people cost them the 2020 election.

No. Again, they really aren't. And it's very difficult to have reasoned discussion with people making that type of claim.

But please, name one Jim Crow law that's being 're-installed'. Laws that attempting to legalize racial segregation.

The old 'racists' died off or faded away.

There has been a lot of change to both parties. Again - it's become more of a rural vs urban distinction that north vs. south. There's also been a lot of polarization. LBJ (who won the 1964 election), JFK, or even MLK would not be accepted in today's democrat party.

No offense but that is a pretty weak arguement. I have posed this question in other forums in the past and the amswers are always odd...but different.

One person tried to tell me that before the civil war most voters in the south were republican but the slave owners were Democrat and basically spearheaded the civil war.

Another person said after the civil war that people did actually migrate north and south which lead to the party change. I asked him how come the southern accent didn't move north with them. He/she never responded.

One person literally posted a link to Candice owens new book and said to read it for the answers. Lol.

You try to account for this shift by claiming the obvious (rural vs urban) and you expect me to fill in the blanks? Not sure but your post explains nothing.

Perhaps if you cited a credible history book that supported your contention? I like to read a good history book now and then, especially American history. Can you recommend one that accounts for this geographic party displacement?

Weak? lol. OK. As oppose to 'racists and non-racists switched parties' narratives?

I'm not trying to account for general evolution of the parties, or shifts in policies over time. I would encourage you to look to history on that.

Narrowing back to what I said - the Democrat party is the party that supported Jim Crow laws. So references to "the party of Jim Crow" apply to that party.

To bad no credible history book supports your opinion, but when a person gets their history from the media, blogs and opinion pieces; it becomes more about bias confirmation then fact.

You seem to be under the impression if you say “nuh uh” that’s somehow worth more than my “yeh huh”.

Sorry, but I do not agree.

Why is that relevant to the GOP’s new drive for Jim Crow laws?

That's because I'm supported by reality and facts. You are putting forward charged, and false, rhetoric.

There is no such thing. It's a story - charged rhetoric. Again - when you use that kind of language it prevents us from having a rational discussion.

I noticed you avoided the question - Please, name the Jim Crow laws that are being 're-installed'. Laws that attempting to legalize racial segregation.

You mean I avoided your loaded q that you made sure to caveat very specifically because you’re being disingenuous and I’m not supposed to notice?

I noticed. Sooooooorry.

Whichever party is the Conservative one.

 

[Mashmont]

Ok, 'Q' Greene. Really?!! You're comparing BLM to the KKK as being the same. Does BLM wear a particular color sheet instead of white sheets? Does BLM burn 'x's in people's yards instead of crosses? Does BLM leave hammers hanging from tree limbs instead of hanging nooses? Does BLM tie people to a tree instead of actually hanging people from a tree? Which party of insurrectionists wanted to hang Mike Pence at the Capitol Building on 1/6?

“I personally believe, and this is what I tweeted,” Greene said, “that there was no way that we could see anything but a guilty verdict. … This is mob rule. This is not law. This is not court. This is not justice, so to speak. And I’m not even talking about the verdict. I’m just talking about the fact that BLM has become the most powerful domestic terrorist organization within inside the United States.”


“They used to go and take to the streets with torches and their uniforms and go out there like some sort of army,” she continued. “They would threaten courts. They would threaten people in their towns if they didn’t behave the way they wanted them to behave. And remember the Ku Klux Klan — the Democrat Party is the party of the Ku Klux Klan.”

“The Democrat Party is the party of Jim Crow,” Greene said. “And now we see the Democrat Party is now the party of Black Lives Matters. Which, they don’t care about Black lives, not at all. They care about policies. They care about radical changes within our government.”

She’s right on all counts. Boy, the left is out destroy those with the courage to tell the truth.

Who voted this idiot lady in and why does she get so much attention?

Can I get an 'Amen'!?

America loves to watch a train wreck. It's how Trump got elected in the first place. A horrible horrible train wreck of a President. MTG is a nutter of Nutter proportions and only other nutters support her. But a lot of other people like to watch the train wreck.

The democrats. That point is not in contention.

lol. Hardly a loaded question. I 'caveated' it to your statement to see if you would be honest. YOU said that the republican party is trying to implement Jim Crow laws. That the"GOP is trying to re-install racist voting laws because they feel Black people cost them the 2020 election." So what "Jim Crow", "racist" law are they seeking to re-install?

Yes - that's the point in contention.

Laws targeting Black people are racist voting laws.

The point in contention was if the parties switched. You contend they didn't but count account for the change in geographic location between democrats and repubublicans.
