Showing Original Post only (View all)Is a Black Republican like a Jewish Nazi? [View all]
Why would any black person be part of a racist party that doesn't try to hide its racism?
I have no answer to that question. I just don't know.
And I have also read much about ultra-orthodox Jews voting for Republicans because they believe that the R's care more about Israel than the Dems. (That seems to be bullshit.) But the question remains. Why would any Jew vote for fascism, no matter the reason?
I'm don't have answers to these questions. Perhaps someone/anyone can enlighten me as to why Black and Jewish people in America would vote for some of the worst pricks/fascists/racists/bigots we have ever seen come to power in this country.
Seriously. I can't understand why anyone would cast a vote for those who want to destroy them.
