Then he realized the error of his and his parties ways, and jumped sides. He didn't want to be a part of the racist regime and became a Republican. The problem is, the Dems can't call themselves out, so they have to stick to their guns that Trump is still racist. Democrats led the way on every pro immigration and pro minority policy there has been aside from the Dreamers Act, which is why most are Democrats. This 40 year old Neocon talking point needs to die.

More importantly, what's the point of protests/riots over racism if nothing is going to change? Those that are racist are going to be racist and those that are not will not change either. I mean I thought the whole point of protesting was to elicit change but if your mindset is that those you oppose cant change seems like your kicking a dead horse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not a closet racist. He's a bonafide proud racist. He will die being a racist. But from a business standpoint, he'd be much better ditching the flag and try to hide his racism.

JustinCharge 2,397 Posted July 7, 2020 Trump seems to be moving in the direction of defending the Confederate flag. I suspect that after the right wins the civil war, the Confederate flag becomes the flag of the new nation. Ultimately, this war will be one where the left says the right is racist against minorities and the right will claim the left is racist against whites. There may be no better way to express that than when the right wins, the Confederate flag is the new flag and they just assert the Confederate flag stands for the fight against racism. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
