This entire election will be about playing to our most evil instincts. The GOP has already signaled that open racism, bigotry and discrimination will be their theme to create anger, rage and hatred. Trump's diatribes are only the beginning of this election cycle. It will be all the way up and down the ticket.
The strategy is that they will be able to drive virtually all of their base to the polls while stopping non supporter from voting at all. And they know they can count on the MSM to carry their water for them.
I really believe that this will be the sickest and most vile election cycle in our lifetime. I am already sick of the campaign. And I am already tired of the MSM coddling the GOP.
As bad as the civil rights fight has been I feel like what we are seeing is so much worse now. Now the GOP is not even hiding what they are up to because they believe they will win big on this strategy.
The other issue will be about Christians being denied their civil rights by being prevented to shove their religion on to the rest of us. Because they cannot have tax money or have the Bible and prayer in the public schools and in government offices.

(7,107 posts)The GOP has done a great job of painting the Democrats as only concerned with racial issues.
The Democratic Party needs to make this election about Economic issues. That will give working class people a reason to vote for the Democrats. Right now, the Republicans aren't offering anything either but they are giving them a reason to vote against the Democrats.
