The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.
This is just comedy gold. Like, Republicans have been spending time slashing down voters rights for BLACK PEOPLE and here we are knowing that there are black Republicans. Like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
My mom’s an East Asian Republican because she’s a diehard fundamentalist evangelical pre-tribulation Biblical-literalist protestant Christian and thinks Trump was sent from God to save us from the devil’s minions. Ignoring the fact that Trump has committed practically every sin in the book with “all have sinned”.
I don’t understand how anyone can be happy with the conclusion that this random man is some godsent, instead of the people that actually help humanity day to day. I’m not religious at all so maybe that’s why I don’t understand, but like… Why?
Much of religion is trying to convince you that weakness is strength. The people around you have a lot of power on how your day is going to go. A random political leader can’t really do.anything to implant you personally. This means they are strong in theist logic
They are not sane. They no longer perceive reality. They live in a world of subtle hallucinations about causes, effects and the nature of reality.
It’s like seeing little pink elephants except instead of being a visual hallucination it’s about the how’s & why’s. But it’s no less a batfuck insane misalignment of their brain.
If you are to ask people on Reddit and Lemmy, you’d think these people didn’t even exist.
Always understimating the reach of the Republican party. There are black Republicans, as well as Asian and Indian ones. Hispanic Republicans as well. But certain communities online want to continue the stereotype that the GOP is only made up of old white men.
There are about 170M registered voters in the US. Roughly 1/3 identify as R which means roughly 53M Americans. Even if 89% are white, that’s still close to 6 million non white Republicans out there. That’s not an insignificant number of people. Especially when you consider that GOP actively votes against these groups.
For anyone else who’s curious, it’s a google-able question, and closer to 80%
