He was playing to racist tropes that a black man can’t be a legitimate President, which is what many racists in America wanted to believe.
He sure was, and I think it's exactly what the big lie is about, all this crap about the stolen election only works because racists believe that black votes shouldn't count.   There is no other reason whatsoever to believe the big lie.

And currently,  70% of Republicans believe the big lie.

Alt facts are the facts that the left cannot debunk, but can censor.

Well, before the left owned Twitter anyway.

And apparently, a good number of Democrats do too judging from the predictions of the Nov elections.

So here is an example of him not saying it is fake.
Right, and you’re probably not a child molester, I mean maybe you are but maybe you’re not. It’s impossible to know.
Interesting that he didn't say he wasn't a child molester.

Let's face it, extreme Republicanism is still all about the fear of change from a "white" dominated Christian society to a multicultural egalitarian society.
Ah. Yes. Those extreme Republicans and their freeing of the slaves and giving women the right to vote and opposition to Jim Crow laws and fighting for desegregation in schools and society at large and their Civil War with the Confederates.

I can't imagine why Democrats would despise them.
That Republican party was Lincoln's Republican party, and it has nothing in common with Trump's Republican party.

I'll never forget the day the Washington Post, in a legit article, said the GOP was becoming a Russian asset:

If that isn't "lying to win elections" then I have no idea what is.
The Washington Post ran for an election?  Hmmm, I missed that.

  • No, we mean Republican's lie....and we think your opinions are whack job conspiracies...big difference.
Thett just made a thread about apparent lie accusations thrown at a Republican made ad campaign. Do you care to address his claims and stand behind this statement you are quoted as saying?

What is the current Republican Platform? Oh yeah, I forgot, you don't have one.  
I can give you some of it

  • Border security, Republicans are against open borders.
  • Republicans believe that Americans should have guns to protect themselves
  • Republicans are pro securing elections as to prevent frauds and the integrity of the process
  • Republicans want to get struggling mother's to be help so they don't feel forced to murder their unborn children
  • Republicans are against making race based selections in hiring practices and think merit is what matters
Instead of giving us your opinions, please provide a link to where the 2022 Republican platform is published...I'd like to read it in full.

Explain how wondering out loud why the president has not produced a birth certificate is the same exact thing as accusing the president of being born overseas? If anything it helps prove the president is an American citizen and shuts the doubters up.

Why would wanting to end untrue conspiracy theories make somebody a liar? 
Oh, I see, so Trump wasn't challenging the legitamacy of the Obama Presidency, he was fight against conspiracy theories on Obama's behalf, trying to help.

LOL, good one.

So are Democrats. Most of the people coming into the country are turning themselves in to the Border Patrol. We also are seeing many asylum seekers.
What would Republicans do, shoot them on sight?

That’s like saying we are for a strong economy. The platform should say how they will make things happen.

  • What kind of guns? Machine guns? Semi-automatic rifles with 30 round magazines? What are you going to do to keep guns out of the hands of crazy people before they kill a bunch of people?

Election Fraud is not a problem in this country except when it comes to people falsely claiming voter fraud. Voter suppression is a problem.

You mean financial support from the government? Welfare? You guys just finished ending welfare as we know it. A fetus is not a child. We do have parents murdering there actual children but I’ve never heard Republicans supporting social worker programs to protect these children.

That’s easy to say when you are not from a group that has been discriminated against for generations by the government and big business like the banks.

Because that’s exactly how innuendo works. Just like the way people have been talking about how you are a bed wetter. Have been all your life.

And our Republican clowns don't know that :)  

The Republicans don't have a position, only an opposition, and maybe that's just how hatemongering works, you don't have to stand for anything, you just need to know what you stand against. 

When your platform is hate, you just don't write it down.

You mean that its 2016 platform was not revised in 2020.

I don’t think it was extended for 2018, 2020, or 2022.

The first page addresses the situation. The other 60 odd pages detail the platform:

WHEREAS, The RNC, had the Platform Committee been able to convene in 2020, would have undoubtedly unanimously agreed to reassert the Party’s strong support for President Donald Trump and his Administration;
Well that clarifies that the RNC renewed the old platform so thank you.

But this is pretty bad. They have officially continued to tie themselves to a twice impeached, one term, President who is under investigation for stealing and mishandling classified documents as well as other state and federal investigations.

To have a platform that is 6 years old is pretty telling. And it will be 8 years old by the time they replace it. What is their position on Ukraine or Inflation? 
Do they still support Trump? We don’t know and I think they would rather not say.

People just adopt, modify and apply labels.

If one does not ride a Pennyfarthing is one therefore not a real cyclist.

We could apply the same rule to any outdated concept.


Though as things stand, aren't most U.S. citizens basically democratic republicans?

Why didn't you post that link? Anyway it really doesn't matter. I have never met anyone who doesn't lie. You lie too, so you are no better than Trump and in no position to judge anyone on earth.

All political parties are corrupt fucking scumbags and people need to quit giving them money. Elect unknown average joes with no ties to govt or the legal system then vote them out after their term is up.
