The republicans freed the slaves.

I don't see any fascism on either side in this country.

Have to give props where I see them.
Let me clarify though, I disagree with him about Candace Owens. I'm only saying his debating style in this thread has slayed all comers to date. And he hasn't resorted to personal attacks or name calling.

...or facts.

I'm sorry but there is a there there too...

The Right is "projecting" it's own attributes on the left? Interesting.
Is only the Right guilty of pushing propaganda too?
At least the Right is not afraid to speak out against some of what Ilhan Omar has been peddling. Silly me. Of course she's Left and what she says cannot be propaganda.

I could be wrong, but think she is dangerous and might spark some nutjob that is just looking to blow a fuse.

No of course not but I'm not playing the game of change subject...
Omar says all kinds of inflammatory shit. Are there some kernels of truth in what she says sometimes? Probably... broken clocks. I'm not looking to unpack her stuff in this thread. Her recent statement was awful and she should be criticized for it.
Its also worth noting that Omar still represents a relatively small, yet growing, wing of the left in this country. Why is it growing? Shit look at where the right currently is sitting at with its de facto leader. Politics is a pendulum.
Meanwhile the current front-runner of the left and the Democratic party remains Joe Biden after an absolutely awful 2 weeks he remains relatively unscathed. Also if you're a conservative in the classical sense, as I described it prior, its easy to make the case he checks those boxes much better than Trump does.
The right currently, as it sits now, seems much less concerned classical liberalism tenets and much more concerned with rejecting multi-culturalism and promoting its brand of cultural nationalism.

Omar is an idiot.
She NEVER defends the stupid shit she says, she just plays the victim and accuses others of attacking her.
The NY POST ran an appropriate front page reply to this POS's comments. She deserves all the threats she has received. Welcome to the real world.
Scary that people actually voted for her!

No, the tax rate meant less taxes taken out every week.
Less of the paycheck went to taxes.

Who knows... the 9/11 one?
I've given up tracking everything regarding the freshmen congresswomen...
The rights obsession with them will ensure they hold their offices after most people here have passed on.

At some point in time, people just need to enjoy the life they live.
Not every life is great, but life IS great.
Smell some roses along the way.

Her constituency is probably pleased with her performance thus far.

yes, but democrat talking points always accuse others of doing what they did. If they project often enough, some will believe.

Read the other day that AOC's name has been mentioned over 3000 times on Fox News in the last six weeks (My grammar school arithmetic sez that's about 75 times a day)
Gosh,I thought it was only the conservative fellas on this board who had a crush on Allie.You guys really think you can compete with the likes of Tucker and Hannity?
