GOP officially and openly advocates for white supremacy as official US policy.

http://american3rdposition.com/?p=15932

I dont know the nature of this site I am linking to and I dont normally do that, but in this case it has the ads.

The United States has two parties and one of them openly advocates for the USA to be a white nation.



(shit, what was I thinking posting this here, I need to post this on a liberal message board)

But you're burying the lead: GOP officials do not renounce support of white supremacists.

12. They won't

There's no way those people will join hands with folks who once voted for Obama.

They don't trust our side of the aisle for that.

They hate black people, brown people, etc. etc. They won't ever acknowledge someone who rubs shoulders with us. So those hoping they will cross over can just forget about it.

And among right leaning independents are some very anti government, very anti America types. So they can't count on them.

No - nope - not gonna happen.

The majority of Trump's supporters are virulent bigots who think the worst of brown folks. They will never cross over.

10. Our conquering armies and brutal domestic policies aren't just controlled by Republicans.

It might be more useful and accurate to note who's really pulling the strings...even if most of the strings are indeed attached to Republicans.

5. There's a difference between a white supremacist group advocating for Trump
Tue Jan 12, 2016, 02:12 PM

and the GOP advocating for White Supremacy. They are two different things. Now if Trump comes out and says about being proud to be accepting this support and that he agrees with them, than you would have a stronger case. As it is, all we can say is that White Supremacists support Trump (which is damning enough without gilding the lily)

8. White Supremacy is transitive by its nature.

If a white supremacist group supports you and you do not denounce it, by the transitive power of white supremacy, that makes you a white supremacist.

GOP bigwigs are not denouncing this. And yes, the word officially is misused.

I think not denouncing this should be a big story.
