Yes it's almost as if McCain voters were mostly straight white people with very little to lose with an Obama presidency. Almost as if, say, major portions of the left today are marginalized groups who are now at risk of a Klan backed president....
Funny how that works out

- finiter 10y agoRobert Byrd left the KKK in the 1940s. Then he spent decades apologising for it, saying he had been wrong, and fighting FOR Civil Rights. THe NAACP said this of Byrd when he died: "Senator Byrd went from being an active member of the KKK to a being a stalwart supporter of the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act and many other pieces of seminal legislation that advanced the civil rights and liberties of our country."[1] Does this really compare to Trump's support from the KKK and his resistance to rejecting them? 1: https://donate.naacp.org/press/entry/naacp-mourns-the-passing-of-u.s.-senator-robert-byrd/ https://donate.naacp.org/press/entry/naacp-mourns-the-passin...
- nsxwolf 10y agoIt doesn't compare. A Republican who was once in the KKK would never be forgiven no matter how many decades went by. And you aren't responsible for who endorses you. Trump doesn't actually believe in white supremacy, so a KKK endorsement is meaningless and it's a logical fallacy to say otherwise. If the KKK endorsed carrot cake, carrot cake would not suddenly be bad. Unless it's the kind with the overly sweetened frosting they serve in cafeterias. With the little orange and green frosting carrot on top.

- legodt 10y agoDon't be glib. Mike pence has come out in favor of conversion therapy for gays, a barbaric method with no scientific basis and a near 50% suicide rate. Trump has sexually assaulted and abused multiple women and has gotten away with it. Trump has called the Mexican people dangerous and a threat to the united States. All of these people are now at risk
- synicalx 10y agoIt's not like Trump is responsible for who endorses him. But if we're going to apply that logic, then we may as well get all up in arms about the Clinton Foundation and the countries who've backed that.
