David Duke makes a perfect example because he was for decades a Democrat. He briefly became a Republican in about 1990 to opportunistically run for a state senate seat and immediately left the party afterwards.


David Duke is still a Republican and a Trump supporter. He identifies himself with the alt-right.

Why do so many Confederate flags show up at Trump rallies? Because that's who supports him.

:roll:


Our schools and communities remain segregated because of the progressives who continue to block bussing and expanded school options for the African American community. It's simply fact.

Name one progressive who supports desegregation and allowing African American students in totally segregated school districts options to go to better schools outside their segregated schools. Just give me one.


Segregated housing areas forces black people's children to be enrolled in public schools closest to their home address (the same thing happens in Australia) which are invariably poorly resourced and lack good teachers. This conveniently overrides anything government policy can achieve in bussing students so that's a red herring. Second whites and Asians spend money on private education/schools (which is their choice and they have the money) which exacerbates the already existing apartheid in the public education system.

The MAGAs see no evil, hear no evil when armed milita, confederate flags and swastikas "magically" appear at their rallies.

Tucker was so triggered by a guest not agreeing with him he had to end the interview. :clown:

Remember kids, you can spout the most anti-semitic conspiracy theories you can think of! Just replace 'jews' with 'democrats', and 'international bankers' with 'globalists'.

"Jews want to replace the white race!"
"That's anti-semitic!"
"Oop, gotta repackage this for the mainstream. Uhh... Democrats want to replace Republican voters!"

The idea that Democrats are conspiring to do this falls apart for so many reasons:
1. As many Republicans have leapt at the chance to point out recently, democratic immigration policy has not differed significantly from republican immigration policy--even under Biden (which should have surprised no one). For decades there has been bipartisan consensus on immigration in washington.
2. Democratic voters mostly want less restrictions on immigration for humanitarian reasons--not because they want to wipe out white america.
3. If Democrat voters or politicians were only okay with immigrants because they think they will vote democrat, they would be calling for strict limits on the number of migrants from eg: Cuba or Eastern Europe who tend to vote republican.
4. Hispanic voters are not guaranteed to vote democrat. They are overwhelmingly catholic and have been (iirc) one of the most reliable demographics for the GOP after whites (not that that's saying much).
5. This is a general one but. Anyone with an understanding of history will tell you that this is the same tired nonsensical anti-immigrant rhetoric that has been poisoning this country for centuries. Are you Irish-American? German? Jewish? Russian? Catholic? Then congratulations, your ancestors were spat on by American nativists for the same reasons nativists spit on immigrants today. "Irish need not apply! Catholics are loyal to the Pope and not America! Jews are disloyal to Christian governments! Slavs are backwards orthodox tsarists! They all want to destroy anglo-protestant democracy! Anyone who supports these immigrants wants to see american society and culture destroyed!"

As far as I'm concerned, there's exactly one demographic that is allowed to complain about immigration, and it sure isn't white people.

Convenient erasure of American history. That's literally the fundamental learning objective in the Hollywood movie American history X. American kids are given a sanitised version of their own history so they don't ask mommy or daddy why there are no black people in their neighbourhood or at their school or on TV.

Too many conservatives are made uncomfortable by acknowledging anti-immigrant sentiments of the past. They seem to want people to believe that their immigrant ancestors were special and everybody welcomed them with open arms because they appreciated America more than these darn modern immigrants.
The less someone understands this country's history, the more likely they are to romanticize it.

Yep we have the same here in Australia. The idea that white people built this country and everyone else came like "leaches" to live off the benefit of "our fortfather's hard work".

The US and most of south America used black bodies to virtually build their countries from the ground up. I saw a documentary on cowboys and apparently a significant proportion of landowners used black cowboys in the west as they were better. Black horseman also formed the main phalanx in battles with Mexico. Jim crow kept black people uneducated for a reason lest they rise up against their oppressors.
