I apologize to everyone for my misgivings in my youth.![]()
But why were you a Republican in the first place? What was the appeal and looking back, how did they do in those issues (Iraq aside)?

Same rules apply. Highways, bridges and roadways are not appropriate locations for protests, as they create a public safety hazard. The Trump caravans are reckless and irresponsible, what they did to the Biden/Harris bus is criminal and the culprits should face federal charges.
I was very angry in my youth. My attitude was fuck the world. I think I have learned from my mistakes and hope that some can forgive me.But why were you a Republican in the first place? What was the appeal and looking back, how did they do in those issues (Iraq aside)?
It's all good dude.I was very angry in my youth. My attitude was fuck the world. I think I have learned from my mistakes and hope that some can forgive me.
I understand that most won't.
Fair point, although I think there is a distinction between how MLK approached nonviolent protest, as opposed to Trumpers playing Mad Max in Texas or a group of young people having a dance party on a freeway. MLK in the marches he led never posed a risk to others, the only people at risk were the marchers themselves.Not to say circumstances are always the same, but where do you think MLK made an important protest in Selma?
No need to apologize, THAT republican party no longer exists, and hasn't for decades.I apologize to everyone for my misgivings in my youth.![]()

I was a racist against black people because I went to an elementary school that was 75% black and got into fights every day because I was white. Now I understand the hatred of some about my skin color. I deserved all the abuse I got because of my attitude.
Again I apologize to all.

I'm pretty sure the pending civil war is going to fizzle pretty quick. There are going to be handful of crazy, fucked up incidents tomorrow, but there won't be a mass break down American society.A friend, and good friend with my daughter is a deputy sheriff. I won't go into details but they are on high alert starting tomorrow, with all hands on deck, and with their own emergency operations center set up, in addition to the normal countywide EOC. Called to make sure daughter had plenty of ammo, or he was going to bring her some.
She is stocked up, food and ammo and works from home, grandson does have to work tomorrow as a firefighter, but in his department (not city) most everyone is typically armed anyway.
The shit storm is just over 12 hours away
One would hope so, but we have a president that wants society, and the rule of law, to break down so he can retain power.I'm pretty sure the pending civil war is going to fizzle pretty quick.

Here's hoping the yellow streak down their backs makes them tuck tail instead truly go crazy and riot when their orange leader loses.I'm pretty sure the pending civil war is going to fizzle pretty quick.

Really? Even if done the right way?Same rules apply. Highways, bridges and roadways are not appropriate locations for protests, as they create a public safety hazard.

This is what I fully expect. For one thing there's a tradition of respecting election results in America. It's only now that people are expressing a lack of confidence. I think it mostly has to do with Trump's actions and rhetoric. He has renounced acknowledging that he's willing to accept defeat, he keeps saying that the Democratic Party is rigging the election (with zero evidence, and everyone acknowledges that) and he keeps threatening to try to deny lawful post election day vote processing, also eggs people on to disrupt peaceful orderly voting processes.Here's hoping the yellow streak down their backs makes them tuck tail instead truly go crazy and riot when their orange leader loses.
I was angry that I loved my neighbors that were black because my mom told me they were like chocolate milk and I was like white milk.. My black friends abandoned me. Now I understand at 54. I wish I had my best friends back. My best friends now are 54 years old and black. They have always stood by me even though I was a white bread and they were black, They were my true friends. I wish I could have changed the past.It takes a big man to admit when you were wrong and it takes a bigger man to actually change. Kudos.
If I may though...if you had a "fuck the world" attitude, why were you a Republican? Like how did they fit into your world view?
That's cool. So many black people are great people. I've met many many. And they are more loyal than white people. Famously, a woman will stand by her black husband when times are tough whereas white women would not. Of course, it's not universal, but the statistics would bear that out.I was angry that I loved my neighbors that were black because my mom told me they were like chocolate milk and I was like white milk..

My black friends have always stood by me even though I was a douchtard Republican.

A sampler: Trump fucktards in Texas try to force a Biden bus off the road: The FBI is investigating, but fucking Trump is saying "They did nothing wrong".
I know. If you are trying to cause a traffic collision, you need to face the consequences.Same rules apply. Highways, bridges and roadways are not appropriate locations for protests, as they create a public safety hazard. The Trump caravans are reckless and irresponsible, what they did to the Biden/Harris bus is criminal and the culprits should face federal charges.
Watch the video carefully, white Biden SUV is in the lane behind if the bus at the beginning of the video. As it pans left, black pickup beside in right lane. As lady says OMG, the pickup shoves the white SUV out of the way. You're blind. The cops that gave the statement is blind and needs to be fired.I know. If you are trying to cause a traffic collision, you need to face the consequences.
