DEBUNKED: The Civil War was Fought over Slavery
Here is my writeup. Feel free to use this link to DEBUNK the notion that slavery was the reason for the war. It'll save you a lot of time.
Thanks. Though debunking it is pretty easy, since Lincoln himself said that if he could save the union without freeing any slaves, he would.
By the way, this is something I dislike about partisan politics. The Right feels like they have to claim and take pride in Lincoln just because he's a Republican. Aside from the fact that he was pretty liberal for the time, he wasn't a good president. His government overreach greatly reduces the authority of local governments and that's something that we're still dealing with today.
Hey, your man Trump is thoroughly respecting States' rights and not going in until he has appropriate permission.
Like a typical Conservative, Trump only supports states' rights when he agrees with what the states are doing. He's in favor of the drug war, so he's overriding the states when it comes to legalizing pot.
The only thing that really makes Trump different is his mental illness and drug addiction. Other than that, he's no different than every Republican president we've had in recent history.
I don't know how well you understand communists but I'll give you the rundown. Communists are diametrically opposed to socialists and believe that Utopia is a world without any governments whereby all local communities govern themselves autonomously as grown adults. That whole CHAZ thing was communist, not socialist. The KKK want exactly this, i.e. to just be left alone to run their own racially segregated local communities without any government interference. The big fly in the ointment is that governments just aren't going away anytime soon so communists and KKK meetings all center around how they can "emulate" running their own communities the way they want them run. For the KKK, this naturally means being able to prevent other races from living in their communities.
So first of all, the Communist Party USA, which you said the KKK is just like, doesn't want to just be left alone on their own communes. They're Marxists who are trying to make America become Socialist so that we can eventually have Communism.
Secondly, Communism is more than just being left alone by the government. It's also common ownership of property. There are plenty of Capitalists who claim they want "small government" so that they can just be left alone in their own local communities, but they don't believe their community should share the means of production. The KKK are Capitalists who believe in small government, much like all Conservatives claim to believe in. If you're going to say the Klan is commie because they want small government, wouldn't that mean most Conservatives are Commies?
The KKK and the Communist Part also disagree on religion, women's rights, and LGBT rights. So yeah, saying these two are the same is a very hard sell.
They side with Republicans ... because their bigotry against blacks and Jews and LGBTQIATIOAPP won't allow them to support the Democrat Party.
But the Republicans also suck up to Blacks, Jews, and LGBT voters. So what's the difference?
