Yep. But you're missing my point. The whole "Democrats created the KKK. Democrats were against the abolishment of slavery." is smoke and mirrors. Although it's important and true, and in many contexts justifiable criticism of the history of the party.. it doesn't change the fact that the White Supremacists are voting Republican now and Republican leaders are appealing to racists in the same way Democrats once did.

Neither makes it right. Neither side is good. But the Republicans can't be excluded here.

... and black supremacists and "la raza" type hispanics are voting Democrat now. :rolleyes:

Democratic leaders have resorted to blatant appeals to race all the time in recent campaigns. For example Obama complaining about black bros not being willing to back Kamala, or Biden telling AA voters that "if you ain't voting for me, you ain't black". Or the talk about reparations which pops up from time to time.

The Electoral Count Reform Act of 2022 kind of insured that no pressure could be put on the VP to take alternate slates of electors.

Basic summary for those who missed it due to it being buried 300 pages deep in an Omnibus Spending Package: The Governor of each state certifies their electoral slate, it's assumed valid automagically by Congress. The VP no longer has the Constitutionally Guaranteed Position of certifying the counts and choosing between the slates, if there is an alternate/dispute. It's now done by state Governors. Factor in that the Election systems in most state are overseen by the Secretary of State (looking at you, Katie Hobbs, you piece of shit, power hungry banshee!) and the Executive of the Federal Government no longer has ANY recourse regarding disputed States.

Which is interesting, that very form of Dispute was used to prevent a Confederate General from gaining the Presidency, and is precisely why it exists. Wonder if the Dems are planning to get up to their old tricks again?

Either way, Jan 6th wouldn't be a thing to gather for. Besides, it was cold in Washington. Dems and Marxists do most of their burning, looting, and murdering in the summer.
