Nope. It's still paying dividends for the GOP.

Nope. Liberals stand up for everyones rights. Injustice for one is injustice for all.

Conservatives want equality for everyone. Liberals are the ones who want to pick and choose what segments of the population they want to help.

Yeah, liberals have done wonders for minorities the last few decades. Look what great shape they are in.

That is exactly right. The southeast (excluding FL) are no longer needed to win an election for the Republican Party, and the Southern Baptist Convention and Evangelical lunatics are out of the picture once the demographic transition takes place and they cannot possibly continue to suppress minority voters. The Great Lakes down the Plains into Texas and the interior West will become the conservative stronghold, and the South will be in the hands of various Democratic voting blocs.

Not a single straight answer yet. Just a lot of deflections.

I guess all the data that actually shows where conservatives are much much MUCH more charitable in everyday life, not just in pure numbers but in actually percentage of their wealth, just goes to show that they still don't care about different groups of less fortunate huh...

Identity politics is a political power strategy to divide and conquer; not some noble crusade for equality. The Dems are quite brilliant at creating a culture of dependence and victimhood under the guise of "equality". In fact , the platform most Dems hold regarding minority groups is quite racist and sexist, given the underlying truth is Dems don't think it's possible for minorities to succeed on their own merit. Yikes!

That is such bullshite.

I stand up for equal rights which is why I oppose most of the lefts agenda.

Hate crime legislation is not equal rights
Hate speech legislation is not equal rights
Affirmative action policies are not equal rights

Republicans were the liberal progressive party until the civil rights movement.

Hmmm liberals weren't interested in helping me when they made it mandatory to have health insurance or pay a fine through my tax return. So my choices are pay an outlandish fine on my tax return or pay inflated premiums and have astronomical deductibles. Sounds unconstitutional to me. But real glad trangenders can pick the bathroom they want to go in.

But you enslave them with your policies...

You don't expect accountability

What's wild about your comment is Conservatives are about individuals not groups...this is the biggest difference between parties

Democrats advocate for a broad brush of people (groups) (Hispanics, African Americans, gays, transgenders etc.)

Republicans advocate for individuals, accountability (individuals)

so I reject the premise of your statements, it fails the test of a valid syllogism.
