Because we bent the moral universe toward justice

We beat the Confederacy.
We beat the Klan.
We beat the Nazis.
We beat the Mafia.
We beat the Soviets.
We beat al Qaeda.

And we’ll beat the January 6 insurrectionists — all of them, all the way to the top.

Republican = Racism

In the belly of the beast

Yes, Virginia, this is the republican party

Take a good look at the picture at the top--it's a shot from yesterday's White Nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., in protest of the removal of a statue of a traitorous racist, Robert E. Lee.

It is also a picture of today's republican party.  Not sure about that?  Among the people "representing" us in Washington, D.C. are a man voted down for a federal judgeship because of his racist views (Attorney General Jeff Sessions), a White Nationalist (Trump's chief strategist Steve Bannon), and a Nazi sympathizer (Trump adviser Sebastien Gorka).  We also have Trump, who singled out Latinos again and again as being murderers and rapists.

Still don't believe it?  Watch how many prominent republicans (McConnell, Ryan, virtually any Senator, or former major candidate like McCain or Romney) condemn an overtly racist rally.

There will not be a single one--because they don't want to piss off their base.

Losing elections to these people is not an option.

Fuck Donald Trump,

What's in a name?

Say what you will about the right wing in this country, but they really know how to name their sects.  First they had the Tea Party and its positive connotations with the American Revolution, and now Donald Trump's racist supporters are being referred to as the AltRight.  You can put "Alt" in front of any word (Alt-Country for example) and it immediately makes it sound cooler--if there was such a thing as an Alt-Jock Strap, we'd all be running around wearing them, guaranteed.

We Liberals really need to beat them to the punch--Racist Dickheads or Bigoted Ass Hats is truly a lot closer to the truth and doesn't quite convey the same approving tone.
