AZ GOP candidate: More guns to defend against "a dozen angry Democrats in Klan hoods."

10. Republicans have been relying on this bit of sophistry for years, mostly to convince blacks they're

the ones who really care about equality and civil rights, while telling them Democrats were the ones who enslaved and oppressed them. Every time I hear Republicans spouting this crappola I want to scream. Apparently, distorting and ignoring American history is what passes for political outreach to black voters in the GOP.

If this were 1860 I would be a Republican, but it's not 1860. It's 2022, and Republicans long ago evolved into the party of big money, racism, nativism, misogyny, science denial, fascism and a whole host of other evils. Things most Democrats haven't supported for seventy years. As a result, I'm a Democrat.
