Wow, that was really cringe-inducing and if I was a Republican I was would be embarrassed by that. Is it supposed to be a shocking revelation that the Democratic party supported slavery in the nineteenth century? We learned that in junior high. Politicians want power? Democrats want to take over America? DUH! There is a lot to dislike about Hillary Clinton but that was so over the top I thought it was parody.
I'm going to tell you guys a huge secret about the Democratic Party. Ready?
Historically, the Democratic Party had a lot of ties to racist policies and racist people.

You gotta step your game up, homie. You're slacking.
Are you saying vote for Trump because Trump isn't racist? Because that's is like saying Bud light is not piss beer even though you know it totally is and just from looking at it's piss.
I didn't watch the video, so it didn't offend me. I'm not even offended that someone wanted me to watch the video. It's an election year. It's a time for propaganda films and Michael Moore antics. It's just about over, and then we can get back to transferring wealth to the 1%.
Looks like some here treat their political party as a religion.
One gets a similar response when a religion is criticized.
I hope Hillary will fulfill all your wishes and give you everything you deserve.

I don't treat any political party as a religion but, even though I am white, when the Republican's official platform includes dissolving my marriage, supporting "reparative therapy" to try to make gay people straight and teaching the Bible in public schools, it makes it impossible for me to vote for them. That trailer is just ridiculously bad, even for the low bar of political propaganda. Tip for D'Sousa: take yourself out of the trailer. Your vocal delivery is stilted and your skin is suspicious brown for a Republican.

Unlike the Republicans, of course.
Yeah, if you build a time machine Democrats were for slavery...and smaller government, the big Republican battle cry today. The two parties, the culture of America, the very nature of politics, none of that is today as it was even 100 years ago.
The end of that video reminded me of a
South Park episode. "What if Democrats are trying to steal America?" They're not making accusations, they're just asking questions.
Anyway, it's a very powerful video...if you already believe it.

Vegetta, what does the scanner say about his cringe level?
IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAANNNNDDDD!
WHAT 9000?
What a steaming pile of runny dog turds.
Yes, the Democrats had racist policies and members... BEFORE NINETEEN SIXTY FIVE. That's OVER FIFTY YEARS AGO. Indeed, it was the Republicans who freed the slaves, and who started the National Park Service. Back when the Republicans were the good guys. But with time comes change. Since 1965, the Republicans have consistently been the party of racism, as the Dixiecrats left the Dems and joined the Repubes. They have also been opposed to environmental protection, starting with Reagan in the 80s.
The Republicans are the party that wants to take over America and impose dictatorial rule. The Republicans are utterly opposed to freedom and democracy. The Republicans, who were once the good guys before I (and perhaps you) were born, are now the bad guys.

Seriously.
I thought that was common knowledge, yet I'm surprised with the amount of conservatives who apparently don't realize that the parties had an ideological flip as the result of the Republican Southern Strategy and unironically consider the GOP to be the "party of Lincoln" while considering the Dems the racists. Considering how much Republicans are stuck in the past, I'd expect history to be their strong suit. I guess not.
Is there some sort of foundation I can donate to in order to get Republicans up to speed on US history? AmeriEducates? Tutors Without Borders? History for Humanity?
"For just $1 a day, you can make a difference in the life of this mullet-adorned little kid. We'll provide him with access to newspapers, textbooks, NPR, and wikipedia. Once a month, this culture-deprived child will be sent to a natural history, US history, or art museum where he or she will get to learn about the rich and vibrant world beyond his or her church and trailer park."
Maybe if enough philanthropic people were to pitch in, we could have a few less imbeciles in the next generation.
Pr..I hear tin foil is on sale. I bet you could even make more hats so THE MAN can't get those big government beams in your head.. in your case they might help.

Touche! Hey, PR! If you weren't aware of it..........................they're a bit sensitive about being reminded they're on the opposite side of the shit covered coin the GOP inhabits! Just sayin.............................
When you run dogma and orthodoxy it's bullshit! When we run it........................it's enlightened progressivism. :) Nobody is goring our sacred ox today!
The United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA or sometimes USEPA) is an agency of the U.S. federal government which was created for the purpose of protecting human health and the environment by writing and enforcing regulations based on laws passed by Congress.[3]
The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order Aaahhhhhh a very famous leftie at that! LOL!
Fucking GOP!!!!

Republicans worship a revisionist history which never really existed and one in which they played no roll in making things the way they are. If you listen to them talk about "taking America back" they want to magic us back to a day when murder and rape didn't happen...well, they happened a LOT to black people back then, but in those days things that happened to black people tended not to make it into any official documents such as police investigations or court records.
And they don't ever have any real plan to do this, either. Maybe put God back in the schools. Like that ship hasn't sailed, sunk and been the subject of a National Geographic documentary already. But that's pretty much it, the entire plan to "take America back" to that time that never really existed. But a shitload more has changed than just starting school with a prayer, and the murder rate has been climbing since the early 1900s, not since the middle of the century, as they all seem to believe.
So yeah, they just LOVE them some history, but not the history found in any books. They love the history found only in their heads. It's easy and convenient to forget that Democrats were the conservative party back when they were for slavery, "conservative" meaning, in condensed form, "averse to change". Slavery was legal at the time, getting rid of it was change, the Democratic party, being conservative, did not like or want change. Meanwhile the liberal Republicans of the time were expanding government on an unprecedented scale for the time.
Democrats and republicans used to be opposites of what they are, the democrats were conservatives and the republicans were liberals, then they switched.
This is the dumbest shit ive ever seen.

The way I see trump is a person who will promise great pay (and power) to anyone who might support his strong man tactics well beyond anything anything we've ever seen before in the US. It's been seen time and time again in many other nations especially in South and Central America where political kidnapping and assassination become mainstream.
It's pretty simple really. You double or triple someone's pay, promote them without any merit whatsoever just because they'll go along with your plans and give them license to use their position to get rid of anyone standing in their way of living 'the good life'..
In Team America, there are three kinds of people ... dicks, assholes and pussies. Choose wisely. Carter didn't make me feel safe, he was too weak. Bush Sr did make me feel safe. Clinton didn't make me feel safe, he was too weak. Bush Jr and Obama didn't make me feel safe either, they were too bellicose.
