How White Supremacist Candidates Fared In 2018 -- Let's Take A Look

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-poli...supremacist-candidates-2018-midterm-elections

I doubt I will get an answer to this by an actual republican, but I will ask it anyway -- what is it about the Republican party that makes Neo-Nazis and white supremacists think they have a better chance to win than if they ran as Democrats (who are the real white supremacist Nazis, socialist, communist, confederate terrorists) ??

Now some may say these people are anomalies, not really indicative of the republican party broadly -- which may be true if we are talking 1 or 2 people....but...aside from Arthur Jones losing, despite getting 50,000 plus votes -- we have more:

Russell Walker, North Carolina state House District 48

Despite later being disavowed by the Republican party -- he responded by sending the state chairman a threatening voicemail saying "“I’ll put liens on your house, every ******n car I can find and everything else.” He also said, “You don’t know where Jews come from,” and was ultimately served with a no-trespassing notice by the North Carolina Republican Party -- yet, he still got 37% of the vote.

John Fitzgerald, California’s 11th Congressional District

Now to be fair, John Fitzgerald in the past tried to run as a democrat, but never came close to advancing to the general. His goal for running? to expose the Holocaust as, in his words, “a fabricated lie.” and that 9/11 was a Jewish plot. As a republican, he fared much better, so much so that he advanced to the general election. Despite being denounced by the GOP chairman, he still got more than 43,000 votes.

Steve West, Missouri state House District 15

Not only did he think that Hitler was right all along -- he also believes that St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital is making children sick on purpose as some sort of Jewish plot. He was not only denounced by the GOP chairman, but his own kids released ads against him -- he still won 37% of the vote.

 

IMO:

Due to the values of the Republican party, grass-root factions have a chance to join and push their agendas. The Democratic Party is much more tightly controlled in this regard. Also, many Americans for some strange reason believe in the "big switch" theory and operates as if the Republican party is the party of klansmen and such when the opposite is true.

 

Isn't anyone who disagrees with a Progressive a "White Supremacist"?

Looks like they did really well compared to what the media was saying would happen, they absolutely dominated in the Senate.

 

Anyone who reads Vox, let alone posts it, doesnt deserve an answer, honestly.

 

Corey Stewart got rightly ass-stomped..... that's the one I cared about the most. Somehow, he still got 1.37 million votes in my state, which boggles the mind.... He shouldn't have gotten 1.37 TOTAL votes...

John Wilkes Booth!

The Democrats are totally racist!!!!

This message was brought to you by the State of Denial.

 

Just more hypocrisy of the left. When I see the left disavow Antifa, BLM, Robert Byrd, and the Klan history of the party they will get my attention. Until then its nothing more than ignorant posting by uninformed individuals. All you need to do is walk down the streets of Portland with a Trump hat on to see the true face and tolerance of the party. They operate in groups of cowards who will burn businesses and attack Americans just for having a different political view.

One day this country will decide they have had enough and all 64 genders of them will pay a huge price for these activities. It's only a matter of time.

 

Yes, huge price, only a matter of time.

OTOH it's funny reading waffling naziods make vague, infantile threats, don't you think?

 

Its simple- republicans are more tolerant of ideas they disagree with. It used to be 'liberals' that would stand up for the Nazi's and KKK's right to speak their nonsense. Not anymore.

Individualism holds inherent in its foundation that other people will believe differently, and therefore wrongly than you. Their right to be wrong is part of liberty.

 

These candidates aren't people with political backgrounds so their insight into politics comes from the same place that it does for the rest of Americans, the media. A good deal of that media that spends great deal of its time insinuating or outright claiming that the Republican party endorses these hateful mindsets. So they enter into politics thinking their beliefs will be adopted by the RNC. But as it mentions in your article they quickly find themselves to be mistaken as local, state, and national Republican committees reject them and sometimes even file suit to force them to disassociate. But of course this doesn't stop media from drawing knee-jerk reactions in order to propagate the very claims that lead these people to believing they will find a allies in the RNC and thus the cycle continues, albeit on a very very minor scale.

Its a variation of the bandwagon effect. People that probably don't have the clearest heads on their shoulders follow claims that the RNC is a home for bigots because they believe they will find others like them. The power of suggestion is very real but the validity behind the suggestion itself need not always be so.

 

Waffling naziod? Such an original post. You must be the pride of your class. Good boy.

 

yeah, even with accused sex offenders, look at the SC judge, Trump, Roy Moore, the list goes on, these people would have no other party to run under, they would be outcasts

 

The Republican party let it be known in no uncertain terms that these..."people" are welcome. Of course, these..."people" weren't supposed to run for office or be involved in the party other than voting for the designated "champions" who carefully used their code words to ensure these..."people" knew who was on their side.

The decision to pursue power for the sake of power will destroy the Republican party.

Good riddance.

 

Their were NO white supremist candidates. Only democratic socialists.

 

the same thing that makes the most ardent supporters of late-term elective abortion flock to the Democrats?

 

Farrakhan's virulently anti-Semitic Nation Of Islam ran one of their boys and damn if commies didn't elect him.

twice.

 

Let's not forget the late Senator Robert Byrd.

Senior leaders in the Democrat Party as late as the mid-90s acknowledged his important legacy and contributions to the Party. Later as the Party started shifting much more towards identity politics the next wave of leaders sort of just ignored this little piece of history.
This was well after Nixon.

 

Thats a really bold statement coming from the party of actual sexual predators like Bill Clinton, Al Franken, John Conyers, and Keith Ellison, with a Congressional fund to pay off claims. You guys don't have any more room.

 

sounds like slander to me, you can say "accused" or "alleged" but to say Clinton is guilty of such sounds like slander as his relationship with Monica was consensual

 

Monica never entered into the equation. Juanita Broaddrick states she was raped, Kathleen Willey accused him of groping her, Leslie Millwee accused him of sexual assault, ring any bells.

 

yes, that was a accusation, never proved, just like all of Trump's sexual accusations, didn't one of Trumps wives say something about him raping her too, not to mention his grab em by the psy comments

we should ask Trump under oath if he ever cheated on his wife, isn't that what got Clinton Impeached?

 

You mean both parties have sexual assault problems, Say it ain't so

 

only one party makes then judges on the highest court in the land

 

VOX is a far leftist kook blog, why would anyone answer you.

 

Nope, lying under oath did that. Why did Clinton pay Paula Jones $850,000?
