I’m torn about this. On one hand I find it refreshing that some Republicans are finally saying what we knew all along.

On the other hand it’s very worrying that they no longer feel the need to lie about it.

I remember this guy LaPage was worried about crime only because of how it effected their little white girls.

He actually said that.

He forgot to add 1 word to it.. would be more accurate to say it keeps White TRASH in power.

There is some gold in that article.

In 2016, LePage complained “guys by the name D-Money, Smoothie, Shifty” come to Maine from New York and Connecticut to sell drugs and “half the time they impregnate a young, white girl before they leave.”

At first I was like, okay, is this an article where the guy is taken out of context. But holy hell lol.

I'm worried too. I believe the Republican party has become diseased and that the fear of the other is often color based. I am happy to think they will be thrown out of office as this becomes more and more obvious. But where this can and does lead is to turning the Republicans as individuals into a stereotyped group to be looked down on as if they were the N word. Looking at anybody in that party as if they were automatically racists is just as evil as what racists claim about minorities. If I had to pick between utility and morality, I think I would prefer the latter.

It's nice that Paul LePage fucked off to Florida, if only he could manage to keep his fat racist trap shut.

I guess he wants to be remembered as a corrupt, low IQ racist after he kicks the bucket. Meh, guess I'm ok with that.

All you need to know about him is here..

I am not worried about him from that perspective. He would just cower in mom’s basement. Just about anyone who says they can’t wait for war is deep down the first coward who will run and hide.

They wouldn't have to be racist if the Democrats hadn't elected a black man and then ran a woman. It is all our faults for thinking that America wants minorities and women in positions of power. It is time we take responsibility for forcing them to be racist.

Well, to be fair to the racist (even though he doesn't deserve it) I think he cited the illegitimate children being left behind that will need to be supported by the state as his main reason. If you know anything about Le page's platform, cutting tax payer funded aid to those in need was what gave his life meaning, such as it is. That and he's somehow incapable of promoting racist policies because he adopted a black kid.

Guy is such a joke. He may be from Maine, but he belongs in Florida. My hope is that ranked choice voting starts to catch on there too, right in his fat ignorant face.

I wouldn't mind a Red Dawn type war against Russia after how they fucked with us in the last decade, but civil war in America? No thx.
