This is who they are and whipping up hate and fear in their bigoted base is what they do in an election season.

Here in 2022 their toxicity is louder, uglier and more open as they push their midterm phony platform of crime. They have chosen to run on crime without any plan to address crime as their objective is only to ramp up racist rhetoric and foment divisiveness and increased civil strife here in the USA.

Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama last week claimed Black people are criminals. He went on to say, "Democrats and Blacks want crime because they want to take over what you got." No one in the GOP pushed back or condemned him.

Marjorie Taylor Greene of GOP fame spews her White Nationalist conspiracy theories all across the nation. No one from the Republican Party will condemn her. Rather MAGA Republicanism cheers her forward.

Republican Senate candidates, including J.D. Vance in Ohio, Mastriano in Pennsylvania and Masters in Arizona, have used language that is similar to Greene’s. All Trump appointed and anointed candidates embraced by the GOP.

Kari Lake's racist campaign (Republican TV star running for governor in Arizona) likens all Native Americans to bloodthirsty savages who engage in human sacrifice. No one affiliated with the GOP will speak up against her.

GOP Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, more than once, has said he wasn't afraid of Trump's White insurrectionists on Jan 6 at the Capitol, but had they been "Biden's Black Lives Matter" thugs he'd have been concerned & scared. No Republican Party pushback.

Republican Gov DeSantis actually attempts to strip Black Floridians of their power and voice at every turn. Volumes have been written about his policies and rhetoric which reveal racism only rivaled by that of the de facto leader of the GOP, one Donald J. Trump, who is hailed for his racial rhetoric, boorish bigotry and prejudiced platform.

And it goes on and on and on.....

GOP race-baiting, aka the Southern Strategy, has paid off for the Republican Party, so expect their bigotry against fellow Americans to not only be condoned but to accelerate, here in 2022. It's all they've got.

Predictable here in 2022 & ALWAYS Shameful!
Democrats are partly at fault, too. Republicans keep calling blue states cess pools when almost all data shows that red States are the filthy backwards states. The Boogeyman strategy wouldn't be so effective if dems could show red state people that blue policies actually work. Sadly, it's probably too late to do now because magats have stopped living in reality.

Oh, yeah. I've noticed that every place that's run by Democrats runs like a Swiss watch.

Republicans aren't just playing the race card. They're playing it both the legitimate way and dealing it from the bottom of the deck. Especially with this White Replacement Theory sensationalist nonsense making the rounds. Speaking as one white to others -- if you're worried that we'll be a persecuted minority when we fall below 50% of the population (which will occur in 25 yrs, given current trends), then the best way to protect ourselves is to strengthen civil rights laws! That's called foresight.

I'll sure be glad when this election is over so all of these ignorant leftist pukes will go away, while we celebrate a victory for America.

You deflect. Deal with the issue: Republicans are race-baiting.

Cite what is made up and explain the inaccuracy.

Grew up in the 50's when racism was very real, in comparison to today, when every other accusation is race, gender or equity. In spoke with a young, black professional about what is going on today and she said, and I agreed, that Obama and Michelle reared the race card and the Democrats use it for everything they don't agree with....just saying.

Indeed. That video clearly demonstrates that every place run by Democrats does, in fact, run like a Swiss watch. I stand corrected.
