(via The End of Trump’s supporters have argued that “executive privilege” applies to the former president’s communications, but others say it’s a matter of “settled law” that executive privilege doesn’t apply to extraordinary circumstances. In this case, the Times notes, Trump “pressured DOJ officials overturn the results of the election, asking them to open investigations into claims of vote tampering that investigators said they had already looked into and determined to be untrue.”Bradley Weinsheimer, a top ranking career official in the deputy attorney general’s office, noted in the letter that Trump was attempting to use the DOJ to advance his “personal political interests.”“

The extraordinary events in this matter constitute exceptional circumstances warranting an accommodation to Congress,” Weinsheimer wrote.Andy Wright, who served as associate counsel to former President Barack Obama, said the DOJ’s decision was “a significant development.”“A really important move by DOJ to start walking back the previous administration’s overly broad executive privilege claims. Keep it coming,” added MSNBC analyst Matthew Miller.Nearly all Covid-related deaths in the U.S. are people who have not yet been vaccinated, meaning that fatal cases of the virus are “at this point entirely preventable” due to the efficacy of the shots, according to CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.Pulling from government data, AP News confirmed these findings in a Thursday analysis, which found that, out of the 853,000 people hospitalized throughout the U.S. in May, just 1,200 of them were vaccinated, a proportion that corresponds to roughly 0.1%. AP similarly found 150 vaccinated Americans accounted for the 18,000 Covid-related deaths over that month, which translates to about 0.8%. Dr. Paul Offit, a top official at the the Food and Drug Administration, told CNBC that breakthrough infections – or illnesses that occur in the case of vaccinated individuals – are “to be expected.”

He explained: “The vaccines aren’t 100% effective, even against severe disease. Very small percentage of the 600,000 deaths.”Dr. Peter Chin-Hong also smoothed over concerns about breakthrough infections, telling CNBC: “You are just as likely to be killed by a meteorite as [you are to] die from Covid after a vaccine. In the big scheme of things, the vaccines are tremendously powerful.”According to AP, the daily COVID death toll has plummeted since this January from 3,400 to under 300. Approximately 63% percent of all vaccine-eligible Americans have received at least one dose of the vaccine. Moreover, 53% of this group has been fully inoculated. For seniors, who are most vulnerable to hospitalization, the CDC found that one dose of the vaccine made Americans ages 65 and up about 64% less likely to be hospitalized. It likewise found that fully vaccinated seniors were 94% less at risk of hospitalization. “The second shot is critical,” Offit told NBC News. “We know from the phase one studies that the second shot induces a level of virus-specific neutralizing antibodies that’s about tenfold greater than that after the first dose.”Despite evidence that the vaccine is both effective and safe for use, vaccine hesitancy lingers in the U.S., especially amongst conservatives, making Republican leaders especially poised to have an impact on these fears.As Salon reported back in March, Republican men exhibited a disproportionately high amount of vaccine hesitancy, with 49% of all Republican men claiming they were not willing to take the shot. For Democratic men, this number hovered around 6%, according to a PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll.On a state-by-state basis, AP found that Arkansas had the lowest vaccination rate, with 33% of its population fully vaccinated. The state has recently seen hospitalizations and deaths rise. Anthony Fauci, the director of the U.S. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, warned this week that the U.S. may soon see an uptick of infections within clusters of Americans who remain unvaccinated.“There is so much misinformation out there about the vaccine, coming through so many channels — a lot of it being spread on social media,” Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. surgeon general, told CNN’s Erin Burnett.“It’s inducing a lot of fear among people and the America First Nazi Party of the KKK)

"Democrats [party of the confederacy] got as much traction as they did in part because they contrasted what they saw as a system of race-based wealth redistribution taking hold in the East with an image of the American West where hardworking men asked nothing of the government but to be left alone."

"The cowboy era and Reconstruction overlapped almost exactly, and to oppose Republican policies, Democrats mythologized the cowboy, self-reliant and tough, making his way in the world on his own. Cowboy life was actually harsh and decidedly unromantic, but that didn't matter to those seeking to use the cowboy's image to undermine the growing federal government"

-Heather Cox Richardson, How the South Won the Civil War

"The system they saw" was the General of the Union being elected President. He, unlike the man who took office when Lincoln was shot, passed the Fourteen Amendment to give Black men the right to legally own property, sue, and testify in court. He also established martial law in places where the KKK were interfering with Black men voting, holding office, and sitting on a jury.

So the confederate Democrats, who got their pardons issued by a president who was not elected to that office, opposed reconstruction by changing tactics, instead of opposing racial equality, they'd defund it.

They started to argue that people who do not own property or wealth should not have a say in how their money is taxed, and they don't owe the government money to support the "lazy" laborers. They said any man can make it in America if they apply themself, so if you don't own much, that's your own fault. They're making their money off of share croppers and then turning around and saying their own laborers don't work hard.

The mythology of the cowboy and the gold rush was crafted by slavers to convince their voters that the ideal American citizen would vote against taxes. They didn't want policies that funded enforced fair treatment of workers, and the labor they were employed to do: build schools, hospitals, and roads in the south.

They said these taxes were an attack! They said the lazy, ignorant people of the south who plow the fields, who will never amount to anything in terms of wealth want our money because they won't raise that money themselves! It's not fair, they said. The very same people who fought a war destroying southern infrastructure didn't want to foot the bill for reconstruction.

It's incredible how long these lies have endured in American culture. I've heard these same arguments being made over taxes and how unfair it is for the rich to pay taxes, repeatedly, 200 years later, without the history they came from. It's so clear how racist, greedy, and evil it is in the original context.

It’s the 1924 Democratic Nomination. Your name is Al Smith, and you’re sweating bullets.

Your party is split, and you have nothing in common with the other faction your party is made up of. The other candidate has the backing of the KKK. You have to win the nomination. Each of the states step up to begin the vote. Alabama always goes first. You look at their governor pleadingly as he steps up.

The governor looks you dead in the eye.

The first ballot is called.

The governor says: Alabama casts its 24 votes for Oscar W. Underwood

Your heart sinks. Then you are confused. Oscar W. Underwood? He doesn’t even go here!

Other states follow Alabama’s lead. 19 separate people receive votes. Neither you or your opponent came close to the 2/3 requirement.

You have a second ballot.

Alabama stares at you dead in the eye again.

They cast 24 votes for Oscar W. Underwood

A third ballot.

24 votes to Oscar W. Underwood

And a fourth.

24 votes to Oscar W. Underwood

And a fifth.

24 votes to Oscar W. Underwood

And a sixth, and it just keeps going on and on and on and you’re losing hope and the delegates just start to LEAVE and you’re shocked and you’re just standing here, and you know that New York Times is laughing at you as you sit and and-

And by the time you get to the 87th ballot, you’ve been there for two weeks. And also you have a circus there, Barnum and Bailey Circus? It was there.

Right before the convention, it was there, and it was fine, then, but now there’s a heat wave, and the smell of the elephants are freaking everywhere and suddenly it’s a suicidal roughhouse and—

And then you get to the 103 ballot. You’ve lost all hope. Things have gotten so bad, the press is so negative, both you and your KKK opponent decide to drop out. The convention settles on someone no one has ever heard of, and lets face it, there’s no way he’s going to win.

You read HL Mencken the next day. He says it’s as if France and Germany who have been fighting over Alsace-Lorraine for centuries, just decided to hand it to England. You’re all tired. It’s been three weeks in the hot elephant smelling auditorium. Nobody got what they wanted. They just want to go home. It’s not compromise as you normally think of it in the history books.

You want to cry.

That is the life of the 1924 Democratic nomination. And it is fucking glorious.

Howdy folks! I’m completely new to this here Tumblr, but I hope to pick it up easily and quickly enough. I’m not entirely sure what it’s all about, but I like writing blogs and this seems to be an easy and convenient way to do so.

I’m super-bad about being consistent or even punctual, so I kinda doubt that I’ll post anything resembling ‘often’, but I hope that what I do write does not bore you to tears.

It may though. It may send you into hysterics or be the greatest sleep aid known to man. Fair warning.

I’m a 44 year old nerd that loves fishing, reading, writing, smoking pipe tobacco, collecting briar pipes, smoking cigars (which reminds me - I need to check my humidors and make sure everything is still on the up and up; wouldn’t want my cigars to dry out), and I love playing TTRPGs like Call of Cthulhu, 1st and 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, 5e Dungeons and Dragons, and MMORPGs, particularly World of Warcraft (started playing during the first expansion ‘The Burning Crusade’), Final Fantasy XIV (only started playing two years ago to be able to play with my daughter who has been playing since A Realm Reborn), and Guild Wars 2.

Most of my posts, should I actually post any, will be about video games and table top role playing games, followed by briar pipes and delicious pipe tobaccos, cigars, and fishing.

I’m also a very conservative Christian so my section of Tumblr will be Safe For Work; I’ll not be posting NSFW pictures or really vile memes that go beyond the pale; however, please understand that I will, from time to time, post about politics and faith. I am 110% for the 2nd Amendment and 110% against abortion. I despise Marxism, Socialism, and Communism, along with the DNC (the true Democratic Party died out years ago; there are no true Democrats holding any major office in the USA Today), Antifa, BLM, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology, Neo-Nazis, and the KKK. I will probably post about the outright indoctrination that people under 30 have been exposed to in public schools and via the internet. I say “indoctrination” but brainwashing is significantly more appropriate.

I welcome debate any day, all day, errvy’ day, but if you’re incapable of discussing topics like an adult and must resort to “RRRRREEEEEEEE YOU ARE BAD” sort of nonsense I won’t be interested in playing your game. Debate any post you like, but be respectful and debate with kindness or just hit the road.

Silver lining.

The Republican Party is quickly becoming the Pro-Trump party for right-wing extremists.

Because I learned history (unlike most Republicans) I anticipate that this will split the Republican Party. The "Republicans" that keep the name "Republican" will be right-wing extremists that are KKK members and Nazis.

The party that splits from it will be a group that generally has ideas that negatively impacts minorities (anti gay marriage. Anti abortion. Refuse to raise minimum wage.) However, they won't be running around in a KKK outfit anytime soon.

Both of these parties are still shitty parties, obviously.

But if Republicans want to out the "less extreme" of them and kick them out. May I remind you that liberalism and democrats are still right-wing. Just more towards the center that Republicans.

May I propose that when that time comes we use that as an opportunity to convince the less extreme Republicans side with the democrats, which will effectively move the pendulum slightly more left, making it easier to impose our socialist ideas when Millennials and GenZ get political power?

Republicans keep moving the bar to the right by painting the democrats as "too extreme" but now the party is getting too extreme for some of the Republican's tastes. I'm just proposing we use this as an opportunity to start moving it back left.

May you give some tips on how to write about mid-nineteenth century and early twentieth century ?? Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks if there is an answer or not xd 😅 greetings and take good care :) :D

Okay, so I only really know about AMERICAN mid-nineteenth and early 20th century history, so I hope that’s what you mean!!

How to Write About The Mid-Nineteenth/ Early Twentieth Century America

This post will encompass 1850-1920 in America only. A lot of things happened during this period, so I’m going to try to outline it as best I can! This post is gonna be a long one, so I put all of the specifics under the cut:

Overview:

The Industrial Revolution hits. We begin this era with horse-drawn carriages and end with planes, tanks, and cars.

Expansion west, “Manifest Destiny”

The Civil War ends slavery in the United States

The Gilded Age marks an era of unbridled capitalism and robber barons, while the Progressive Era following it marks an age of activism and human rights.

13th Amendment in 1865 abolishes slavery, 14th and 15th Amendments in 1868 and 1870 gives Black people the right to vote, 19th Amendment in 1920 gives women the right to vote.

World War I marks a major advancement in technology and global affairs, sets the stage for the second world war that will come later.

The Roaring 20s provides a façade of success to precede the gigantic stock market crash of 1929.

I’ve copied and pasted a lot of this information directly from America’s Best History and added tidbits of my own as well!

1. The 1850s

Presidents:

Zachary Taylor (1849-1850)

Millard Fillmore (1850-1853)

Franklin Pierce (1853-1857)

James Buchanan (1857-1861)

Important Events:

- Peak point of tension between North and the South, primarily over which states will be admitted as free states or slave states.

- The Compromise of 1850 admits California as the 31st state, without slavery, and adds Utah and New Mexico as territories with no decision on the topic. The Fugitive Slave Law is strengthened under the Compromise, which also ended the slave trade in the District of Columbia.

-1854 - The Republican Party is founded, in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. (Note: This form of “Republican” is essentially modern-day Democrats. The parties switched platforms later.)

-The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allows the issue of slavery to be decided by a vote of settlers. This established the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and would breed much of the rancor that culminated in the actions of the next years of "Bleeding Kansas."

2. The 1860s

Presidents:

James Buchanan (1857-1861)

Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865)

Andrew Johnson (1865-1869)

Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877)

Important Events:

-1860- The Pony Express begins. Overland mail between Sacramento, California and St. Joseph's, Missouri is carried over the Oregon Trail for eighteen months by this series of riders on horseback, then rendered obsolete when the transcontinental telegraph is completed.

- 1860 - South Carolina is the first southern state to secede from the Union in response to the election of Abraham Lincoln as President.

-The Homestead Act of 1862 is approved, granting family farms of 160 acres to settlers, many of which were carved from Indian territories. This promotes expansion West, and eventually led to the establishment of the state university systems.

- The Civil War 1861 – 1865

Overview: Union won due to their advanced railroad system and industrialization that provided them with clothing and other supplies. South is ransacked by General Sherman, brings about era of Reconstruction. Slavery is abolished, but former slaves are not immediately emancipated.

People to know:

Abe Lincoln (President of the Union)

Ulysses S. Grant (Union General, future President)

William Sherman (Union General)

Important Events/Battles:

Fort Sumter 1861- A fort in Charleston, South Carolina harbor is bombarded by Confederate forces after the U.S. Army commander failed to evacuate, thus triggering a declaration of war.

Battle of Bull Run 1861- First official battle in Manassas, Virginia. Confederates emerge victorious as picnicking (yes, you read that right. People were picnicking and using the battle as entertainment) onlookers watch on in horror; realization that this war won’t be resolved quickly or easily.

Emancipation Proclamation is issued by Abraham Lincoln on September 22, 1862 stated that all slaves in places of rebellion against the Federal Government would be free.

Battle of Shiloh 1862- Victory of Union over Confederacy. Led by Ulysses S. Grant.

Battle of Antietam 1862- Bloodiest day of the war in Sharpsburg, Maryland.

Gettysburg 1863- Considered the turning point of the war. The furthest Southern incursion into the North, where the Union beats back the attacking Confederate troops. A few weeks after the war, Lincoln issues the Gettysburg Address (“Four score and seven years ago…”).

The South Surrenders on April 2nd, 1865

- April 9th, 1865 - Abe Lincoln is assassinated at Ford Theatre by John Wilkes Booth. Andrew Johnson takes his place, and he does not keep up Reconstruction and withdrew all troops from the South so they could be left to their own devices. This is said to be the reason for segregation.

- 1866 -The KKK is formed to prevent Black people from voting. Things such as poll taxes, grandfather clauses, and literacy tests are implemented by states to also discourage Black people from voting as well.

- 1867 -Alaska is purchased from Russia for $7.2 million dollars, approximately two cents per acre, by signing the Treaty of Cession of Russian America to the United States.

- 1869- The final golden spike of the transcontinental railroad is driven into the ground, marking the junction of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railroads. This act, as much as any other, would signal the marked increase in the settlement of the west.

This is a good read.

I found this interesting. This is an open letter to all Democrats from a Democrat. I did not write this, but it needs to be shared...

I just have a few questions for you....Let me start with, I already know you don't like President Trump...that's a given, SO

let's move on from that...

How about the division of America....

Do you really blame Trump for that?

How about when NONE of the DEMOCRATS showed up for his inauguration? Don't you think that started the division? He hadn't even been president yet, and EXCEPT for Clinton and Obama, not one democrat showed up....Is that when Trump divided America? Can you imagine if the REPUBLICANS didn't show up for Obama's inauguration because they lost??? Can you even start to imagine what would have happened?

How about when 19 minutes after Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post declared the IMPEACHMENT CAMPAIGN has STARTED? Was that when Trump divided America?

How about when Nancy Pelosi ripped up Trump's state of the union right in front of the world, showing complete disrespect for the President of the United States? Did that bring the country together and is THAT when Trump divided America?

How about when America had to endure, 3 years and over 30 million dollars spent on trying to PROVE that Trump only won because of RUSSIAN COLLUSION and NOT because America voted him in and 17 democrats did EVERYTHING in their power to PROVE that there was Russian Collusion...and came up with ZERO...?

Was THAT when Trump divided America?

I can't even start to go over the NEGATIVE PRESS he's received since his surprise win...

Remember, the DONORS, the likes Bloomberg, who gave 27 million, Tom Steyer who gave 17 million, George Soros who gave 9 million and MANY MORE that gave MULTI-MILLIONS to Hillary, wanted a return on their investment...

Do you really think that donors give MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS just because they love Hillary?

NO, these weren't campaign donations, they were INVESTMENTS into what HILLARY had promised them when she became president....

They were so sure she would win and they would be SHOWERED with HUGE RETURNS, and when it didn't happen and they LOST all those millions, they went all out to TAKE TRUMP out of OFFICE by any means possible...

DID YOU KNOW that 90% of the Mainstream media and the corporations that own them, are owned by or run by BIG DEMOCRAT DONORS? You can verify all of that for yourselves...I did...

Since the moment Trump won, even before he was inaugurated, the mainstream media's reporting was 92% negative on Trump, do you know why?

It was those big donors that lost their dream of MILLIONS of dollars, on their returns that they were going to receive when Hillary was president and they weren't going to take that loss lightly...They needed to PUNISH TRUMP and those that VOTED HIM IN...

I've said this since the night he was elected...

"There is NOTHING the left won't do to take down our President”, our country and us, no low they won't go to, to get their power back", and sadly, we have seen this every single day since his election.

Let me ask you this...Have you ever listened to Trump or appreciated any accomplishment or campaign promises he's kept, have you ever gone to one of his rallies or have you just closed your mind to ANYTHING he does?

Please ask yourselves the following questions, if you dare...

What has Joe Biden done for America for the last 47 years that he's held an office?

What did Joe Biden ever do for BLACKS when HE and Obama were in office?

What has Joe Biden ever done in his entire life to create a private-sector job?

What has Joe Biden done to help the American middle class worker?

Let me also ask you this...Why do you think there are so many people tearing down statues, our burning flag, beating up police officers, disrespecting our founders and hating our country?

It comes straight from our SCHOOLS that have slowly been tearing down our history...

If there is a teacher out there, please tell me the following:

Do you teach the truth that it was the DEMOCRATS that were the KKK?

That the GRAND LEADER of the KKK was Robert Byrd, who was elected to congress and served for decades, and that it was Hillary, Bill, and Obama that gave his EULOGY praising him?

That the DEMOCRATS fought the Civil war to KEEP SLAVERY?

That the inner-city ghettoes were created by DEMOCRATS to keep control of slaves after they were freed?

That planned parenthood was founded in inner cities to CONTROL the BLACK POPULATION?

Is any of this in your history books?

Let me ask you this as well.

Can a student speak up when he/she disagrees with a teacher when they say that Trump is a horrible president or the electoral college has to be eliminated? I don't think so?

Well, I know a student that actually happened to...When the teacher said it had to be eliminated because Hillary lost, and he stated the reason it should stay,

She ripped him apart and gave the entire class a 5 hour test, and stated it was because he DARED to disagree with her...

Is that happening in your schools?

I'm only asking questions....I'd like your answers..

President Trump and his entire family has been vilified, demeaned and disrespected, for one reason and one reason only.......HE WON...

Have you noticed the DEMOCRATS only throw tantrums and OBJECT to everything he does and have NEVER ONCE gotten behind him to make America the best it can be? WHY?

They can't afford to get behind him...he would WIN AGAIN, and they can't let that happen....if he wins again, the Democrat party will be destroyed and they know it...

Did you notice that the "CAGES" the left claimed that Trump built to put Illegal children in, WERE BUILT BY OBAMA for the very purpose of PUTTING ILLEGAL CHILDREN IN?

Was THAT all over the news when Obama did it? The very same "CAGES"...but the media was silent!!

How about when Trump commuted Roger Stone's sentence, and was DEMONIZED 24/7 but NOT A WORD when Obama commuted 1715 inmates, which included 330 that he granted on his last day in office...

DID WE EVEN HEAR one WORD about it?

Were there reporters even reporting it...NO! Just look at the difference in the reporting. By the way, since Trump's been in office he's commuted 10 people...compare that to Obama...Is that reporting fair?

How about when Biden and Obama allowed the H1N1, the SWINE FLU, to INFECT MILLIONS of Americans before declaring it a health emergency....

Was the press losing it's minds and calling it the OBAMAFLU AND BLAMING OBAMA and BIDEN for the spread ? SILENCE!

Compare this to the NEGATIVE COVERAGE that Trump got when, he immediately halted travel from China when, in February, Nancy Pelosi went to Chinatown and said come on down, or when DeBlasio, in March, said ride the subways and go to broadway...BUT those same people are blaming Trump for the spread of coronavirus..

A FINAL QUESTION:

What have the DEMOCRATS done to help make America the best, to get behind a president that works tirelessly to care about WE THE PEOPLE instead of using us as political pawns..

What have the democrats done for people of color EXCEPT for GIVING ILLEGALS more rights than citizens and having us pay for it...

JUST imagine what this country could accomplish if the Democrats worked with him on the economy, the coronavirus, the inner cities where he's created opportunity zones, job training etc.

When Trump tried to get school choice for inner-city students they ran Betsy Devoss out!! The dems running those innercity schools wanted no part of school choice.

Have you ever wondered why it's cities that have been run, for decades, that have the MOST HOMELESS, the MOST CRIME, the most MURDERS, the worst INNER CITY schools, ARE ALL RUN BY DEMOCRATS???

If you haven't started asking yourselves those questions, maybe you should..

As I said, my entire family used to be democrats, but NOT ONE will ever vote for a democrat again....They asked themselves the same questions and the answer was clear....

I'm not looking for debates on this. I'm a Christian, and will not support the Democrats in Nov.

I got a very good reply on my last post that should be brought up.

The person- (youngfreeradical) said: “What you’re missing is the history of these peoples. Yea we agree it shouldn’t matter what race, gender, religion, w/e. But in the United States and the world that has not been the case and continues to not be the case. Are you really going to say that the Republican Party have been the champions of gay people when they continue to fight against their right to marriage? Or their current hatred of trans people? Why would these people ally with conservatives? That is suicidal”

My post was about my feelings on identity politics and how so often we hear the democratic party is the party of ______ people.

youngfreeradical does have a point. While I do not call myself a republican, I do vote republican so I wanted to go ahead and address that statement. The GOP have not historically supported those lifestyles in a legal sense. I say legal because more and more young people, myself included, just don’t give a flying baboon’s butt about what you do in your own bedroom in your own private living space or your body. I personally am not co-signing those lifestyles and choices, but it is your body. It is when those lifestyles and choices affect me and everyone else that I have to begin to disagree. That sentiment is also part of the foundation of conservatism, “you can do whatever you want, as long as it doesn’t affect other people.”

But the history of the parties is one that should be discussed.

The democratic party is the party that historically has been supported by the KKK and vice versa Woodrow Wilson, democrat president, supported the KKK and helped revive it by popularizing KKK revisionist film Birth of a Nation.

Blacks began voting blue in 1936 in the proposal of the New Deal, not because they aligned with democrat party values but for political expediency.

“I’ll have them niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years.” - Lyndon B. Johnson, democrat president.

Andrew Jackson, universally known as the first Democrat president, forced an entire race to relocate from ancestral land

FDR one of the liberal heroes of the democratic party placed Japanese Americans in internment camps after the wake of Pearl Harbor

FDR also got rid of privately owned land owned by First Nations/Native Americans to force them under the thumb of the federal government by eliminating private and tribal agency under the guise of reorganizing tribes and forced council elections to save Native American culture

Yes, the Dawes act had many issues, and the slogan of the time, “Kill the Indian, save the man,” was horrible, but several tribes such as the Navajo thrived due to the privatization of land and land allotment. Look at the Pine Ridge Reservation if you want to see just how great FDR’s “Indian New Deal” worked out.

Also, there is no such thing as a single “Native American Culture.” The race of First Nations persons is filled with hundreds of distinct cultures so the very idea that Native Americans are one Pan-American culture and only one is an egregious stereotype. Please read Seven Myths of Native American History by Paul Jentz to further educate yourself on the most common stereotypes often attributed to Native Americans.

It was overwhelmingly “Republicans” who voted in favor for the 19th amendment which granted women the right to vote

“But CBM,” you say, “the parties switched! How can you say republicans voted for this when they are full of hateful people who hate everyone who isn’t a white man?” I’ll tell you why weary traveler, that is a false statement.

From the National Review: The Democrats have been sedulously rewriting history for decades. Their preferred version pretends that all the Democratic racists and segregationists left their party and became Republicans starting in the 1960s. How convenient. If it were true that the South began to turn Republican due to Lyndon Johnson’s passage of the Civil Rights Act, you would expect that the Deep South, the states most associated with racism, would have been the first to move. That’s not what happened. The first southern states to trend Republican were on the periphery: North Carolina, Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. (George Wallace lost these voters in his 1968 bid.) The voters who first migrated to the Republican party were suburban, prosperous New South types. The more Republican the South has become, the less racist.

From Liberty Voice: All but the redoubtable Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, the Southern Democrat who managed to stay Democrat for well over 40 years; despite all the mythical ship-jumping which is supposed to have occurred. All of the modern liberal Democrats who adored him, like Bill Clinton, Barrack Obama and Al Gore, must not have been told Byrd was a Grand Klegal in the KKK before he ran for the Senate as a Democrat. Byrd was a celebrated member of the Democrat party up til his death, in 2010. So it is not as if the discussion of his affiliations is somehow ancient history.

Not quite relevant to the specific topic above but still important to mention, the left or people who lean left have been consistently saying that the two parties are getting farther and farther apart. That is true, but what is not true is the fact that those same people say it is the right’s fault, that the right has gotten more radical in their beliefs. This is statistically untrue. For the past decade those that lean right or vote republican have stayed relatively the same while those that lean left or vote democrat have moved more left on almost every issue, in some cases, drastically. And before anyone can say anything about that... this research was done by the Pew Research Center which is collectively agreed to be center and non-bias.

Now on the flip side, I am not a blind follower and once again iterate that I consider myself a conservative rather than a republican. I know the GOP is not innocent. Just on the top of my head is Watergate.

Regardless of any of this information, it is evident that both parties have a checkered history. It is our job to hold our elected officials accountable because they work for the citizens of the united states, not the other way around.

We as a nation do need to try harder to utilize our other parties more. Or better yet, listen to George Washington and disband the parties so we can’t have platform candidates. Now I will 9.9/10 times disagree with anyone left of center on the politics, but it is still important that each and every voice is heard and I mean that.

#Conservative
