1. It used to be "the party of Lincoln" and it was full of ABOLITIONISTS.

Then, before the southern strategy, it was loaded with INTEGRATIONISTS.

Ever since Nixon, though, it's been packed full of ASSHOLES.

And now it's the PARTY OF TRAITORS! Oh my!

2. It's not quite that binary

I think it's more accurate to say that white nationalists who chose one of the major parties are going to pick the GOP - but not every member of the GOP is a white nationalist.

3. Extremist stereotypes aren't helpful

4. There are racists in the GOP but labeling the entire party as white nationalists isn't prudent

Doing so only alienates voters that vote Republican.

Call out the racism, voter suppression, corruption, and civil rights violations. That should never stop.

But labeling people who vote Republican as all white nationalists is going to just reflect bad on Democrats who would be lumping everyone together and labeling them.

It always pissed me off when some Republicans would sneer and say "those damn liberals" and furthered my resolve to oppose them.

I wouldn't recommend giving those who vote Republican any resolve to do the same for their side.

My 2 cents...

6. The GOP is indistinguishable from European far right White Nationalist political parties.

5. Why we even allow these people to vote much less field a candidate is beyond me.
