    Keep telling yourself that.
    The source was the troll himself openly admitting what he was doing on twitter. What further proof do you need?

    Remember when you started a thread asking what CRT was, and then ignored all of the properly sourced answers in favour of repeating FOX News talking points?

    Are you really that committed to repeating partisan lies, or did you recently get kicked in the head by a horse? :chris:

    So you understand why it sounds so ridiculous that you're claiming that another complex law school topic is being taught in elementary schools?

    Righties really love the shit out of anecdote.
    Whereas I not only don't love them, I think they belong up in the deepest recesses of your colon.

    When all else fails and you no longer have an argument, resort to insults and name-calling. Predictable.:jayzus:

    Who said anything about elementary schools? I'm pretty sure it's High School we're talking about.

    Keep losing elections to CRT, I don't care. Is it really the hill you want to die on?

    That's been the talking point. :shrug: And it's equally silly whether it's high school or elementary school. There are some key areas in constitutional law that have to be covered for CRT to make sense.

    So you're saying the Republicans won because they want to completely deny the notable and undeniable history of institutional racism in America in an effort to not move forward and improve society in the USA, even though CRT overall was basically a big nothingburger and the people that thought that it was a prevalent issue to act on are nothing but sheep lapping up what their masters tell them to

    This is not the ringing endorsement of your party that you think it is

    The ultimate strawman. The right has created this issue that doesn't really exist, and has brainwashed it's supporters into thinking their political opponents are taking a position they are not taking.

    Not what I'm saying at all and for the billionth time, I'm not a Republican. I didn't even vote last night.

    Based on his ballcap, I'm going to infer that he's a veteran so we should respect his ill-informed opinion. :salute:

    Another one that thinks they know me. If you're not going to believe anything I say, then I see no need to respond to you anymore.

    I'm sure I can find dumb people who don't know anything about what they're voting for from every party. Didn't Jay Leno do something similar? That doesn't mean every Republican voter is like that, but you knew that already, didn't you?

    After four years of Donald J. Trump, anyone who still votes Republican is either a complete idiot or a hate-filled bigot.

    So yes, every Republican voter is like that.

    Good grief, @Federal Farmer, can you just quit responding to the trolls, or block them, or something? You're dancing to the tune and they are calling it all the way.

    Or a Machiavellian scumbag who thinks the racism and homophobia and misogyny don't matter so long as the supreme court is tilted their way.
    Or the oil keeps flowing.
    Or the missiles keep rolling out the factory door.

    Thing about that though, when women and minorities are your pawn sacrifice in your big chess game, you're a bigot anyway, even if you don't uses slur words, and wear the pointy hat.

    I’m not sold on the Virginia gubernatorial race signaling the implosion of the Democratic Party. To me, the bigger story is that capitalism is failing Republican states; therefore, culture wars are their primary focus- leading to the Republican Party openly calling for revolt and secession.

    This. This this this. This issue is a perennial one with the Democrats. Outside of a Presidential year, they have a hell of a time getting their base to the polls. Complacency always seems to soak thru them. This is also partly why Trump won in 2016 - the base was not energized to support Hillary Clinton, as despite what the media would have you believe she was simply not the candidate most of them wanted, and so they didn't show up at the polls. It bit the Dems in the ass here in Virginia this year, and it's likely to bite them in the ass again in the midterms next year.
