...every time you hear the phrase
white people,
white supremacy,
whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word
(Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...

The party is now irretrievably in the grip of those toxic, party-sinking radical leftists. In the Survey USA poll, there wasn't a single demographic group where even a plurality felt the party should be more moderate.
