Our Penultimate Chance

[jordan179]

Thanks to massive and growing Democratic Party election fraud, this election is probably our next-to-last chance to save the American Republic.  Not the US Republican Party, but the Republic.  If we don't get a Republican House and Senate majority in the 2014 or 2016 elections, the Democrats are likely to become so entrenched that they can govern,

America's survived plenty of good and bad Presidents and good and bad Presidents, so I think you're just deluding yourself.

You're missing the point. Once voting fraud has gotten above a certain level, the will of the people ceases to matter save as expressed violently.

Do you honestly believe that? Really?

That's... very different than how I perceive reality. Starting with the idea that there is massive Democratic party election fraud.

Next with the idea that Democrats can possibly govern as a bloc in general. C'mon. No liberal group has EVER failed to fracture. Because that's the nature of us liberals.

Also -- the Republicans were in charge during Reconstruction.

To be fair about the Republican point: that WAS before the Great Flip, so the Republicans at that point WERE the more liberal party, mostly, although it's honestly a bit more complex than that; nobody and nothing ever REALLY fits neatly into simple boxes, but still.

Even so, when you're talking about Reconstruction, as much as the South likes to bitch about it, you kind of have to look at what your choices were. Reconstruction vs. KKK. Federally-imposed civil rights vs Jim Crow, poll taxes, and lynchings.

It's important to ask yourself what side you actually are on, and why. If you're siding with the bad guys, it's a good idea to look at why.

I'm on the side of Constitutional representative democracy.

And the "Great Flip" was imaginary -- the Democrats are still the party of racial division and making legally-enforceable distinctions between Americans on racial grounds. The proof of this is that it was the Democrats who kept ex-Klansmen in the party after the 1970's, the most obvious example of this being Robert "KKK" Byrd, while the Republicans expelled their white supremacists -- the most obvious example of this being David Duke.
