Though, I'd be fine with Republicans just blandly not being in favor of a racial pluralism in this country. Instead, they trip over themselves to carry Trump's water and enact the Project 2025 agenda. THAT is something that must be soundly denounced.
Well, I guess we do disagree. I see a qualitative difference between being a full blown KKK member and a subtle bigot. It's the difference between crosses being burned on people's lawns, and a representative with a superior attitude and a tendency to vote against progressive reforms when they come up for a vote.
I must not be making myself clear, it seems pretty clear in my mind.
I am not responding to you after this. Keep defending yourself but there is no defense against any "degree of racism" , especially if you have the power to affect peoples lives. Have the day you deserve.
We are witnessing the "Extreme Court" destroy our constitutional right to open, free and fair elections!! WE MUST FIGHT BACK WITH EVERY SINGLE TOOL WE HAVE AVAILABLE!! REDISTRICT EVERY DEMOCRATIC STATE WHERE IT'S POSSIBLE - NOW!!!!
Kris, I am inclined to side with you BUT. Where does it end. We are in a world of shit right now. We need a Constitutional Convention to close a SHIT TON of loopholes to prevent this happening in the future. And that won’t happening my lifetime and maybe yours. We need TEETH in the law and a way to exclude those who would throw away our democracy for single party rule. And make no mistake. Single party rule IS their aim. The MAGA crowd in EVERY elected office from county dog catcher to POTUS needs prosecution and incarceration. I have long been a centrist democrat. And I think I remain so. It is the MAGARight that has moved the Overton Window to the extreme right. And even in my RED small rural county, GOP party committee members call the few liberals “delusional” and seek to dehumanize liberals. These are dangerous times. And the efforts arising to gerrymander the fuck out of districts to create Republican (White) strongholds is going to fuck with the fall election. Already, just yesterday, Louisiana postponed their primary in order to gerrymander more GOP districts. Not fighting fair is beginning to look like pissing into the wind. The farther they push this White Nationalist Agenda, the closer we get to pitchforks and torches. We Ned a MASSIVE get out the vote response…to ensure we bring the least capable voters to the booth. We have to give these fuckers the Orban Treatment
What we have is a MAGA Racist KKK (I saw a picture of them with White Hoods) Roberts 6 who are, with every ruling, driving America to become an Apartheid country like South Africa used to be and the South during the Civil War. They want only White Racist Christian Nationalists in charge in America. Clarence Thomas, a black man, is going out of his way to make sure that people of color (like him) lose their rights to vote and to have any representation at all! There MUST be a "Supreme Court Reform Act" implemented to deal with the Roberts 6 once and for all. With parts of it to include: No lifetime appointments, Term limits - 12 years, Expand the court to 12, Ethics Standards, Appoint an Inspector General to investigate corruption of the justices, No President can ever nominate more than 2 justices, If justices Lie during their confirmation hearings they must resign immediately, Investigate the spouses of justices for conflicts of interest, justices must appear before Committees of Congress if they are subpoenaed, Rotate the Chief Justice every 2 years, All rulings of every justice on every case must be in writing and available to anyone who wants it, Impeach and Remove justices, etc....
Everything Kristofer says is absolutely true! American democrats need to grow a spine and fight the republicans as if they were the deadliest enemy they ever faced, because they are. They do not care about anyone or anything other than themselves. Every thing they do is to gain more wealth and power for themselves, while the rest can starve out on the streets. They would love to bring back slavery. They are sick and dangerous and America needs to wake up to that fact, if it wants to regain freedom and democracy! Thank you Kristofer for being so open and blunt about the dangerous situation at this time, I hope that many people will hear your message and pass it on to ensure the fight for democracy!
Actually when King Charles came he showed and told the Republicans and tRump exactly what pathetic, corrupt, cowardly and ignorant pieces of 💩 they're showing the world they are.
Completely agree there Diane! What struck me the most was how they were giving standing ovations on issues they clearly have abandoned. Their hypocrisy was shining bright for all the world to see. Charles did say one thing I haven't seen people pick up on and I think it is critical. He mentioned his faith as so important. He knew what many Republicans are - White Christian Nationalists. One of the biggest threats to democracy. So I believe instead of calling it out forcefully, he reaffirmed it. These people in the end knew they had to give Charles standing ovations as their dear leader was watching. They knew what they were doing. Will they change - of course not except if the polls keep tanking for Trump. They don't care. A great show optics wise but I do not believe DT 's base really listen to some of those words. It is also not the King's role to remind Americans who they are (although, that could not hurt, yes, stark contrast to those of us really paying attention). Unacceptable visit and if he had to cause a constitutional crisis against the completely emasculated Starmer, so be it. I am so with Kris on this - hardball as hard as possible. Thanks so much Diane, I so appreciate your thoughts!
Generally I agree with your thesis.
Though, I'd be fine with Republicans just blandly not being in favor of a racial pluralism in this country. Instead, they trip over themselves to carry Trump's water and enact the Project 2025 agenda. THAT is something that must be soundly denounced.
I have to respectfully disagree. Not being an active racist is no better than being a full blown kkk
Well, I guess we do disagree. I see a qualitative difference between being a full blown KKK member and a subtle bigot. It's the difference between crosses being burned on people's lawns, and a representative with a superior attitude and a tendency to vote against progressive reforms when they come up for a vote.
I must not be making myself clear, it seems pretty clear in my mind.
So the line is whether you participate or just watch? It seems clear to me that neither is acceptable.
I think there is a difference. It’s a difference in degree. Not “kind”, but “degree”.
I am not responding to you after this. Keep defending yourself but there is no defense against any "degree of racism" , especially if you have the power to affect peoples lives. Have the day you deserve.
You, madam, are even more of a perfectionist than I am—which is saying a lot!
Thank you for saying that. Their complicity is staggering and all are accouable.

Thank You Kris ♥️👍

ALL REPUBLICANS ARE TRAITORS AND RACISTS.

Rick Scott is still gonna lose his seat! I don’t care.
Thank You 👍Take Care ✌️🕊️🔥👊🤗👍♥️
Amen
Absolutely Kris. Everyone needs to be as TOUGH AS POSSIBLE!!
I was horrified as a Canadian that the King came at all. Atrocious.
Thank you!
