Why Are The Republicans Being So Mean and Rude?

I know people who are beginning to ask themselves, “Why are the Republicans acting this way? Don’t they realize that times are changing?”

Have you being living in a cave somewhere? Are you really that naïve?

The Republican political party has evolved into mostly being supported by poorly educated red necks, southerners, and racists. If you hate Mexican immigrants, blacks, and most foreigners, then these Republicans are right for you.

In the not too distant past these were the people who were standing on top of the hill. Kings of the mountain. And they were enjoying the status and the power trips that came with being white and financially successful. Or at least white. It really didn’t matter very much if their wealth had come from exploiting extremely poor people with dark skin. In fact, that was sort of the norm.

These same types of people supported George Wallace. They liked him and what he stood for. Even today they would have a fit if they found out that their sweet little white daughter was having a sexual affair with a black man.

Not all that long ago these right wingers actually lynched people. They got off on the power trip of having people fear them.

You could get killed for being a “nigger lover” even if you were white. Especially if you had attended college, you were from up north somewhere, and you were Jewish.

If you think that racism and the civil war mentality has completely gone away in America you really are naïve. This is just the latest chapter in the battle for human dignity.
