    What a surprising turn of events! Who could’ve possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn’t a rich white guy? Preposterous!

      I know this is nitpicky semantics and all, but the party technically was not founded on hate for anyone who isn’t a rich white guy, it was at one point the party of opposition to slavery but after the Civil War ended and reparations began the parties sort of shifted and became moderate and heavily bipartisan until that all changed in the 1960s when Democrat President Lindon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and political parties continued to polarize in the rise of the information era until reaching the peaks we’re currently at.
