Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Seditious Republicans march toward authoritarianism

Rumors flying in South Carolina about Lady G, as he is known in the sex worker business.
 
Rumors flying in South Carolina about Lady G, as he is known in the sex worker business.

South Carolina seems to have a tradition of repeatedly electing men who turn out to be blatant hypocrites to high office. Strom Thurmond was proud to be a national leader in the Senate of opposing integration and civil rights in the 50s and 60s, and as a state official in the 30s and 40s he supported state laws banning interracial marriage and he condemned "race mixing." After his death in 2003 it turned out that he had fathered a mixed-race daughter with an African-American maid who worked in his parent's home. He never publicly acknowledged her existence. So it should come as no surprise that Lindsey, who has supported so many laws opposing LGBT rights, should be a closeted gay man who hires male sex workers and makes them sign non-disclosure agreements. It fits, really.

This is grossly different. The majority of people in SC through the 60s agreed with Thurmond. I'd make a sizable wager that the majority of South Carolinians wouldn't support buying sex from LBGTQ sex workers.

I see your point, but my point is that in both cases they're hypocrites for opposing in public what they practiced in private. It doesn't get much more blatant than that.
 
Opposition to interracial marriage isn’t about sex. They’ve never had a problem raping black women. It’s about sharing the financial and social benefits of marriage across racial lines.

The problem for the sex workers seems to be the NDAs. No idea what they contain but I’m sure the GoFundMes for them would be off the charts.
 
There's another difference. It was accepted for centuries that white men in the south would have sex (rape) with slaves or black employees or random blacks they saw as below them. And the proof of Thurmond's out of wedlock child didn't occur until after he was dead.

If it is proven that Graham purchased sex from a man or men and is running, I'd have to believe there would be a huge backlash.

Do Republicans know that Candace Owens has almost no influence with black voters and that "blexit" is aspirational at best?
 
Chainsaw-wielding racist gets boosted by a top Trump aide as race protests sweep the nation

The two competing forces collided Saturday on the Twitter feed of Trump campaign senior adviser Mercedes Schlapp, when she boosted a tweet that lauded a man in Texas in a viral video as he yelled the n-word and wielded a chainsaw to chase away anti-racism demonstrators.

Against this backdrop, Schlapp‘s Saturday retweets highlighted how the Trump campaign operates in contradictory worlds of its own making. On one hand, Schlapp favorably promoted a man spewing anti-black racism and on the other she urged black people to vote for Trump just three days prior in an online campaign discussion on race. In that setting, she attacked Joe Biden’s tough-on-crime past while eliding Trump’s past record and rhetoric.

“Joe Biden supported the mass incarceration of black and Hispanic communities and has failed to lift them out of poverty,” Schlapp said. “In stark contrast, President Trump has delivered unprecedented opportunity for black Americans.”

IANAL, but I don’t think NDAs for illegal acts are enforceable.
 
My god that’s hilarious. It does speak to have Ice-T has sanitized his reputation that this lady stopped being a fan after his statement. I guess the irony of the guy who was famous for the song “Cop Killer” playing a cop on TV for decades is lost on many people.

Actually I didn’t realize until now that he played Scotty in New Jack City before that song came out.

Weird response to people protesting against the government going into a woman’s house and killing her.
 
Looks like they've really ramped up the projection since the protests and quarantine started. Pretty much everything that guy said could even more easily be applied to what people like him believe. After all, they're mostly the ones who have been hoarding guns and supporting open-carry laws, who want to arm teachers, who favor "stand your ground" laws that basically let you shoot anybody that you feel might be threatening you, who favor the militarization of the police and supported Dear Leader's (and Tom Cotton's) demands to use both police and professional troops to imprison or just shoot protesters, and who have labeled LibDems as evil anti-American Socialist Marxists who are out to destroy our way of life (and how far is it from believing that to believing that it's OK to "destroy and kill to achieve their [right-wing] goals...the ends justify the means?") You just know this dude has thought about it.

Ongoing US GOP Debacle Thread: Embracing Trumpism/White Supremacy

It’s also his people who are itching for a second Civil War. It’s also his people who carry the legacy of Tulsa, Wilmington, Rosewood, and other events in which angry white mobs targeted black homes and black owned businesses.

Those events were often preceded by angry conservative white people making up black violence to justify white violence.

I go back and forth on whether or not I think it will happen. I generally think gun toting white guys are weak and don’t have the balls to do what they talk about doing. But Trump and the GOP push for violence after losing in November and conservative media lies about voter fraud could push things over the edge. Trump would use the military to give his white supremacist militias support and cover.

Yep. It seems to have become an article of faith among most conservatives that all liberals (and most likely all Democrats) are "far-left", "radical", "revolutionaries", "socialists", "communists", etc. If you're anywhere to the left of these people (which isn't hard, according to polls most Americans are) then you're not a moderate or centrist or even liberal, you're a part of the far left radical agenda. Apparently it's even discussed in some conservative churches. I was visiting my parents a couple of weekends ago and my mom was watching the Sunday sermon of their preacher (a Liberty U. grad) at their Baptist church on facebook (he's doing drive-in church services), and the theme of his sermon was on the evils of Progressive, Far Left Christianity leading people astray from the holy word of God and the true meaning of the faith. He used the term "Far Left" at least twice, and ended with a plea to anyone attending one of these progressive churches with their false teachings to leave immediately and go to a "true, Bible-believing" church. Blech.

Citation/evidence please?

How would I site a prediction of a worst case scenario?

I gave you the historical context of white violent mobs in response to black politicians winning elections during Reconstruction.

Trump wants to use the military to quell protests. He eggs on white supremacists with the help of conservative media.
