Don't give me that "it's all about economics" bullshit. It's all about racism and sexism. Absent racism alone, there is no viable Republican Party.

It's the racism, stupid.

[Garrett78]

8. They've swapped out the dog whistle for a bullhorn.

But they've been running on racism ever since the Civil Rights Movement.

9. The racism AND the CHEATING, which was largely about racism.

Purging certain voters from voter rolls.
