I'm still trying to figure out when the parties switched. Carter won the South, so does that mean that racists were still democrats up until the 1980s?
Stand back and stand by.....???

We shouldn't be united. Half of the US is evil. Why would anybody want to unite with evil as a compromise?
I'd like to laugh -- but sadly, you've accurately described the state of our politics.
Frankly, I'm embarrassed that it's my generation of Americans who are on the verge of screwing up what made this country so great for so many years.
I don't see as many of the dire consequences in it but I do agree with a lot of what you just said.
Stand-by until I call you wanna be navy seal soldiers to come shoot everyone up! LOL
It’s not dire at this point but the population who have adopted the us vs them mentality is growing. At some point it gets to a breaking point. When it’s strong enough and distributed between opposing viewpoints you get civil war. When it is a large majority on side you get unchecked authoritarianism.
Your generation's biggest mistake was telling their children that discussing sex, religion, and politics was off limits. Living high on the hog made them nervous about rocking the boat. Now, later generations are having to figure it out on their own and social media has made it completely "in your face".
I'll say that we are pretty close to that breaking point. This "the other side is evil, they should get no quarter" has been going on, at least, since Clinton's second term; it has escalated to what it is now, a system of governance where nothing gets done because neither side wants to compromise, of extend an olive branch.
And, I think that's what both parties want, keep the populace divided so they don't catch up to the screw job the are handing to us.
Main reason why both parties have turned me off to voting/supporting either.
And said the same shit about Obama merch. It's freaking weird. I see pop up stands on the side of the road with all of this apparel like I'm outside of a football stadium. It's disturbing.
well apparently all it takes is a 17 year old kid to take down 3 of your adults, so we'll save them for later
Her: "You need to denounce all of your former girlfriends!"
Him: "All of my former girlfriends stand back and stand by."
Him: "All of my former girlfriends stand back and stand by."
Yup. An I voted badge is the same thing*
These people are mentally ill. As are the nut jobs defending them on here.
Him: would you consider sleeping with your ex?
Her: i don't wanna answer that question
you are this 👌 close to understanding why nobody takes y'alls "REEEE RACISM" schtick seriously anymore.
For once, I agree with DaShuck. The baby boomers discussed sex more with their kids than our parents did. When I was a kid you were to be seen and not heard. My parents cared less about what I thought about politics, or religion, they told us what we should think. We did spoil our kids, and they in turn coddled their kids, to the point they all became snowflakes.
