Will the GOP ever nominate a non racist for president again?

[renee]

That's the problem with DEI. It does discriminate against certain people and favors others. Wanting to get rid of it is the most anti-racist thing you could do.

I wonder why no one complained when white males had the privilege of discriminating against so many groups.

 

[renee]

What are these disparities you speak of? The laws are not race specific. The playing field is already level.

The disparities I speak of is how upset white men are that they have to share the pie with women and minorities. If you think the playing field is really level then there’s nothing more I can say.. check out Congress, where the power is for the richest people and tell me how many of them are black or female

Who won the 2020 election?
The felon?

I believe it was the adulter with 30+ felons who paid off a porn star and is a sexual predator who brags about it

 

[renee]

100% racist nonsense.

Oh yes, we never had segregation where Black people were told. They were inferior human beings.. and women all had access to the top networking universities like car and Yale and Princeton. Poor white men never had any privileges. (Sarcasm )

this original post is exactly why western European nations don't take American liberalism seriously. We want security, not CNN cry babies

Oh yes, the European nations just adore Trump LOL

Welcome to the forum. The Democrats label Trump a racist because they have nothing else. They just don't like him so they lie about him and call him names. You should read what they call his supporters. Oh, you will if you keep reading throughout the forum. Enjoy.

Well, for one thing, he wouldn’t allow Black people into his buildings that he built.and was sued.
Why do you suppose the KKK and other hate groups love Trump?
His support of racism here It’s not really an issue for Europeans

 

[renee]

President Trump has never been a racist and no one who has ever been close to him throughout his entire life has ever accused him of being one.

Truth can be a stubborn bitch.

Than why was he sued for not allowing blacks in his development?

 

[trixare4kids]

Well, for one thing, he wouldn’t allow Black people into his buildings that he built.and was sued.

There’s no concrete evidence that Donald Trump personally discriminated against Black people in a way that’s been universally proven or legally settled beyond dispute.

Why do you suppose the KKK and other hate groups love Trump?

Playing the KKK and hate group card is so weak.

Trump does not support racism here or there.

The classic leftist smear tactic—frame the question with a false premise and hope no one notices. This is a loaded question designed to push a narrative rather than seek the truth.

The GOP, the party of Lincoln, has never been the party of racism—that distinction belongs to the Democratic Party, which historically championed slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow. Meanwhile, Republicans led the fight for civil rights, from ending slavery to passing the Civil Rights Act, despite fierce Democratic opposition.

Today, the left weaponizes baseless accusations of racism to silence debate and discredit their opponents. When Democrats can’t argue on policy—on the economy, national security, education, or personal freedom—they resort to name-calling. They cry “racism” not because they have evidence, but because it’s their go-to political strategy.

Oh, and right on cue, the inevitable response: “The parties switched sides!” This myth is a favorite of leftists trying to escape their party’s racist past, but it crumbles under scrutiny. The reality? The Democratic Party remained the party of segregation and opposition to civil rights well into the 20th century. When the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed, a greater percentage of Republicans voted for it than Democrats. The so-called “switch” boils down to a handful of Southern Democrats slowly shifting to the GOP over decades—hardly a party-wide realignment. Meanwhile, actual segregationists like Robert Byrd and George Wallace remained loyal Democrats for life. The Republican Party’s commitment to individual rights, free markets, and equal opportunity has been consistent. The only thing that has changed is the left’s attempt to rewrite history to suit their narrative.

So to answer your question: the GOP never stopped nominating non-racist presidents. The real question is: will the left ever stop crying wolf?

 

[Paradoxical]

That sounds a bit like a problem

It was. Until Trump got re-elected.

Been working on a Right-Wing Terminology Translator. Let me know what you guys think.

DEI = N-Word
Woke = N-Word.
Critical Race Theory = N-Word.
Political Correctness = I want to say the N-Word but they won't let me.
Cancel Culture = I said the N-Word, now there are consequences.

At this point, if the Republicans fielded a "normal" candidate, I'm going to have a lot of trouble being convinced of that, and I would probably vote against the candidate because that party has made me long term angry at it.

And now he cannot dream of becoming a firefighter. He is blocked from applying.

One thing has never changed with the democrats: They will say anything to further their acquisition of power. They will twist anything to make themselves look better. But they almost never do anything to make the country better. Everything they do is to make the democratic party more powerful. What I find scary is thinking about what would happen if the democrats obtained full power.

I suffered a lot and what you see as delusions I see as reality. As an activist feminist in the 70s, I couldn’t get a credit card without my husband’s approval, I couldn’t get a bank loan and I got less pay for the same work as men … I had no reproductive freedom.
When judges appointed by Trump voted against women’s reproductive freedom, I saw women going backwards.
I will guess that you are a white male who has had privileges for centuries while women and people of color were considered less… and it bothers you that you have to share the pie

Ah, yes, the 70s. My wife enjoyed the "special privilege" of working without a credit history of her own to put her husband through to a private university degree. How many other veterans' wives did the same and thought it was just the way things were done?

I shudder to think of what my mother had to suffer to go to college in the 50's. Funny how she never told me about how the white man kept her down and from studying and getting a college degree. Granted she did go to Barnard College, but my alma mater UPenn has been coed since the late 1800's I think. Now I admit women were discriminated against a lot even into the 70's, but it has been 50 years and things have completely changed and it's finally time to move on. Come on, America has elected a black POTUS and a black woman as VP. People have to stop letting their baggage ruin the rest of the trip.

There used to be a time when the republicans nominated candidates that weren't racist for president. Folks like bush, mccain, and romney. Now it seems like racism is a feature and not a bug of the trump movement. I fear that this will become the norm. Every candidate that runs for the GOP nomination sees this winning formula and will replicate it. Candidates will try to out racist each other. What do yall think?

My entire life they've always called the Republican candidates racist. So I just take this criticism as people that really have nothing to say other than they don't like the candidate.

I really don't think racism needs any more government intervention, as the government has failed miserably to combat racism since everyone, except neo-leftists, is a racist. In fact, if you listen to these neo-leftists, racism is worse now than before the civil war. I think racism is a cultural problem and is best fixed by changing culture, not by making any more government projects that only perpetuate racism.

 

[hecatmoggie]

You are correct that people naturally segregate, but the difference is between inclusion and exclusion. I choose to sit with liberals but don’t exclude republicans who want to join us.

you cannot force people to include/exclude

look at the poll https://debatepolitics.com/threads/do-you-consider-trump-voters-enemies-to-the-united-states.555720/

not very inclusive huh ?

Says that you are going to need for health and safety are being cut, but yet billionaires are not getting tax increases… keep fighting for them

the rich pay almost all the taxes anyway - you know that, right ?
