     There's probably not one issue we discuss argue over or fight about on this board that has any effect on our lives on a day-to-day basis. If we didn't have Sean Hannity and Rachel Maddow to tell us how wonderful or fucked up our lives are we wouldn't know.

    Honest question- did anyone on this forum hear of Juneteenth more than a few years ago? Now it's a National Holiday.  I guess MLK Day and Black History Month weren't enough.  To make it fair- let's make March 17th- Saint Patrick's Day a national Holiday- it is in Ireland.  How about May 5th Cinco de Mayo for our Mexican friends?  Kościuszko day in August for our Polish immigrants...

      OMG- straight out of the Right Wing rabbit hole, only in MAGA alternate reality.   You have a former president repeating something over and over- 30,000 lies (and counting)- beating the drum about election fraud. The lemmings believe it without question.  😁 😁 😁 Show your proof in court (that's been an epic FAIL to date) or STFU!!!!

          So what you're saying is FDR was a republican. That pretty much erases your only decent President.

            By the way republicans and Democrats never ever switched platforms. That's simply a weak attempt to cover their terrible history of everything.

                Even if republicans gradually moved to a smaller government platform and Democrats gradually adopted a big government that is only one thing. Thats not some ubiquitous "Lincoln was actually a democrat!"

                That is an incredibly weak attempt to cover up the skeletons in their closet by claiming they sold that house a long long time ago. 

                They didn't.

                      And yelling about Lincoln being a republican is an incredibly weak way to say something positive about republicans now. There's little, if any, relevancy. And if someone is trying to use this argument then the history of the parties in the 150+ years since then should absolutely be brought up.

                            Bro, I'm just responding to what your previous post said. I'm not trying to cheerlead for either side (regardless of your other post).

                            I'm much less inclined to think trans rights and Juneteenth will be the "death of the country" opposed to our willingness to accept anti expert and anti science rhetoric.

                              My problem with "modern Republicans" is there's two factions of them...  those who have drunk the Trump Kool-Aid (Space Lasers, I'm coming back by August!!) and want to follow a wannabe dictator right off of a cliff. Or those (apparently few) Republicans who haven't lost their fucking minds or souls- like Liz Cheney and Ben Sasse who still have a grip on reality.  Count me in the latter group.  

                              For the record Cysko- you can think Trump belongs in a nut house, and not be a "Progressive Democrat"... It's a concept lost on the vast majority of posters here.

Or those (apparently few) Republicans who haven't lost their fucking minds or souls- like Liz Cheney and Ben Sasse who still have a grip on reality.  Count me in the latter group.  

                                        For the record Cysko- you can think Trump belongs in a nut house, and not be a "Progressive Democrat"... It's a concept lost on the vast majority of posters here.

                                          You keep saying trump was a dictator while absolutely ignoring all the shenanigans democrats are currently up to, while, I might add, not showing how trump was dictating anything. 

                                          Anyway get Trump's dick out of your mouth. He's done. His time is over. He's not coming back today tomorrow or in 2024. Live in the present...your friends and mine, the Democrats are attempting a power grab on an unprecedented scale and it's down to one guy, Manchin, who might still have a soul or moral compass. Without that one guy you're living in an actual dictatorial 1984 dystopia, with trump playing Emmanuel Goldstein and you're ready to get down and lick O'Brien's boots clean to prove your loyalty. 

                                          By the way I fully expect Manchin to turn up dead in the near future. A victim of "white supremacy", the biggest threat to this country, no doubt. 

                                          Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...
