    This isn't true, it is rudimentary thinking, we had the same economic issues in the Gilded Age, what we need are to get money out of politics, tax corporations and the rich fairly, and remove money from lobbying, hold platforms responsible for truth, make algorithms voluntary, and if you call yourself news it is facts only if you lie you are fined or taken off the air.

    Colorado is not red, and Texas will also not be red. An issue like this will bring full participation of the electorate and if that is not followed there will be consequences. There are more registered democrats than republicans in Texas.

    I don't think "Terrible Maps" is offering this up as a serious proposal ;)

    It's funny how most every major Democrat you can name opposed same-sex marriage the entirety of their political careers and then suddenly we saw a wave of epiphanies around 2012 and they all suddenly realized in their 50s/60s/70s that actually they had been awful bigots their entire lives and decided they needed to change after some soul searching.

    LMAO. It's just outrageously absurd.

    :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    I am sure they will tell us Charlie Kirk was "evil" for opposing same sex marriage but will find some excuses for Biden/Hillary/Obama etc etc all holding the same position the large majority of their adult lives and will find their "change of heart" sincere.

    If you don't see this as racism maybe you're the problem, people who are racist tend to not see racism, these are just a few of his awesome takes. I am sad that anyone would kill another American, but all this talk of what a great family man and Christian is silly.........WWJD, would he talk like this?

    On race
    If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

    If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?

    Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

    If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

    – The Charlie Kirk Show, 3 January 2024
    If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

    Still people in this very thread wonder why the Civil Rights Act had to be passed. I remember my grandfather telling me about heading thru Vidor to go to work in the 50's-60's. You get stopped after the sunset and you had one warning by the local cops, n*gger if you can't read run and don't come thru our town again after sundown. All the way until the late 90's really, I knew folks that were scared to even have to change a flat tire near that area.

    Because people bend over backwards to hide their racism, as has been done in this very thread as people try to make a Christian Nationalist facist ******* into something saintly, when he is far from that.....and his indoctrination tactics - though clever are harmful to people of color and others.

    Thanks. Yeah, I am not going to defend those comments and can see how those could cause ire. I am watching Charlie’s clips on youtube and they rarely go into race. Primarily gender identity and religion.



    Btw, its quite a jump on a message board to deduce a poster is a racist. By your standard the following individuals are racists as well:



    Mark Cuban – “If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it's late at night, I'm walking to the other side of the street"

    Joe Biden – more than enough clips

    Brittney Griner – “F’ng white girl” towards Caitlin Clark

    He isn't the martyr the right wants to make him out to be. Was he a racist? Maybe. Did he spew hateful rhetoric at certain times during his podcast? Yes. Am I losing a bit of sleep knowing he no longer breathes air on this earth? Not really.

    Murder is always wrong, period, regardless of party affiliation. Until we can all agree on that, we all agree on nothing.
