that it\u2019s their liberal arrogance that thinks technology, creativity and solidarity amongst minority groups can actually overcome sheer force of numbers and mindless hero worship of a bunch of old white folks.\u00a0 That this shit didn\u2019t just manifest out of nowhere in 2016, but was the result of an extremely lengthy and tactical long game that is bearing tremendous fruit in advantage and a seemingly endlessly stacked deck against all opposition to this very day.\u00a0 Tactics like this don\u2019t come from idiots and brainless followers that so many people love to associate your stereotypical Republicans to be. \u00a0Somewhere in the party are some really, really intelligent and cunning minds, and this is why America is \u2018Murica, and why it never seems like it will ever end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But then we do actually have idiots and brainless sheep of \u2018Muricans who make up other parts of the Republican party, who think they can flagrantly use graphics featuring Klansmen in them and actually think they\u2019ll get away with it, and it\u2019s like well shit, why the fuck are these dipshits\u2019 votes actually counting?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Either way, I don\u2019t think anyone with a brain will actually believe Lawrence County, Alabama, is actually apologetic for using their KKK artwork, and that the only thing they\u2019re really sorry about, is that they got caught.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uh sure, my bad \u2013 Lawrence County, Alabama Old White Guys\u2019 Club Republican group \u201cmistakenly\u201d uses GOP elephant logo featuring hooded Klansmen in it East Side Elementary in Marietta, Georgia must breathe a sigh of relief every time some other group out there \u201caccidentally\u201d co-opts racist shit and puts it out there and expects to &hellip;
