I know you don't, but celebrities are the original influencers. Who made AIDS a big issue? People like Madonna, Jane Fonda, Diana, Princess of Wales, or else the conservatives would not have given a damn and the story would have been swept to the rug.

Who helped MLK and Malcolm X during the Civil Rights Movement? Frank Sinatra, Paul Newman, Bing Crosby, etc.

Celebrities are influencers. Conservatives care about what celebrities have to say because celebrities lean too much to the left and conservatives react to that....

Had a Gary Sinise or a Tom Selleck had ran, the Democrats would have been finito in 2024. That is factual.
Once again proving conservatives are lying about their convictions. This response is weak. You just name dropping people doesn’t means squat.

Haley campaign spokesman - :“America has always had racism, but America has never been a racist country. The liberal media always fails to get that distinction".

:rolleyes:

America has always had Christianity, but America has never been a Christian country, and that the right-wing media always fails to get that distinction.

They're still popular. The current rightwing celebrity that can win is Chris Pratt, he'd be good on Trump or Haley's ticket.

Haley and DeSantis are appealing to suburban conservatives who really don't see color, they don't like talking about race....most Republicans talk like that......

saying this country has never been racist is just like denying the Holucost.

Why do those same people have no problem discussing the Holucost?

Good question....I think a lot of white Republicans are tired of "white guilt"....

Hey mods: can I get a ruling on maybe releasing me from the R-word ban when it comes to responding to posts by this fucking Russian shithole?

Because this fucking R-word is fucking r-worded with his fucking r-word posts.

-This picture *has* racism, however this picture is *not* racist.

Boom, headshot
Why does that picture prove the country is racist? That picture if being done by a private organization or entity is racist. That picture was codified by law, thereby making not only that picture racist but the country as well.

I'm disappointed the media seems to have moved on from the Darling Nikki comment. Imagine Barack Obama saying Germany was never antisemitic and Jews while there some who died there was no Holocaust, would not the blowback be 10x greater?

The Tom Selleck/Boomer ticket would truly be unbeatable, that is once half of America could even figure out who they were.

I'm not a conservative Republican. I'm a moderate Independent. Boomer is influential in my area (I live in tri-state NYC area), his radio show is listened to by a lot of law and order suburbanites that helped the GOP elect the George Santos of the world in the House.
Democrats are conservative-leaning moderates. If you're "independent" as in "somewhere between Democrats and Republicans" you sure as fuck are not moderate. You are conservative through and through. You may think being somewhat socially liberal makes you a moderate, but you'd be wrong.
