The republican ethos is based on the same ethos that Abraham Lincoln founded the party to believe back in 1860. They also have this bizarre idea that insulting potential voters was good because they think you can intimidate voters to vote for them by insulting them, screaming at them and accusing them of being racist. The mental incoherence of democrats on full display. Yet these same people had voted for Obama for 8 years. In 2016 Hillary said that the middle class was deplorable meaning they were racists. The other is that republicans have not courted blacks as blatantly as democrats have. One is that we are told that in 1969 racists went from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. I believe there are 2 reasons people believe this. Why do American blacks vote for democrats?
