This is not opinion or leftist. It’s news about fighting in the party, which is factual, recent, and on-topic.
Removal of this post is admitting that this sub is only about being a safe space for conservatives to circle-jerk while ignoring reality.
I encourage a discussion about the recent conflicts inside the party, how that might impact the party moving forward, and what can be done to prevent this divide.
You must be really old if you can recall a time when democrats discriminated against people based on race. ;-) Parties change. The modern GOP is all about big government, control of people, censorship, and racism.
But, your answer said all I need to know about your actual position.
Thanks
They still do. They just dress it up and call it diversity now-a-days. Just look at college admissions for a good example.
What about college admissions?
There was a entire court case and everything. Here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_for_Fair_Admissions_v._Harvard#:~:text=Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard%2C 600 U.S.,Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
TLDR: College Admissions / Affirmative Action were racist, and probably still are.
Well, I think college admission should be done entirely by a computer, that simply takes that person‘s transcripts and accomplishments, and what not, to decide if they are accepted. Not human interaction.
But I can understand how a white person might feel disappointed if they had to go to a less convenient college because their first pick didn’t have any more slots.
I suppose we should be sure the balance of men and women isn’t taken into consideration too?
What about scholarships based on financial need? If a college wanted to accept a certain number of people on scholarships per year, that might cut the open slots for wealthy while males.
Not just white people, Asians are the most affected by Affirmative Action.
I know it’s not possible to be perfect (There are idiots and assholes in every large group, including college admissions), but imo effort should be made to be race and sex blind. Right now, effort is being made to the opposite.
The democrats still discriminate against people based on race. It’s a core part is their platform.
And no, you have the gop wrong. Covid proved that the gop wasn’t about control. They let people make informed decisions about their health. The democrats wanted to force vaccinations and mask on everyone.
Seems like you don’t know much about the GOP
Which democratic policies are you thinking of that discriminate based on race?

Everything to Democrats is about race, sexual orientation, and segregation. etc.
What are the major Republican talking points? Trans? Drag? It’s like you’re not being told what the GQP is actually.
Also, that article is labeled opinion, and those aren’t facts.
Small government. Lower taxes. Protection of constitutional rights. Freedom of association.
Not sure what drag. Trans means. Some context would be useful.
Well, unless you’re extremely wealthy, the Republican Party has not lowered taxes for the middle class in the past 20 years or so. Obviously, there is a lot to consider like tax credits, etc. But that blanket statement of “Republicans lower taxes “is not entirely accurate.
Trump raised my taxes. I’m solid middle class 300-500k a year on average. I got a nice tad bump due to the salt changes. Wealth has little to do with taxes. Taxes are based in income which is not the same as wealth
300-500k is not middle class.
