It's funny how compassion, decency, and indoor plumbing are all "socialism" now according to the GOP [View all]

But we really could get away with calling everything the GOP does as "White Nationalism" and it wouldn't be a lie.

Not caring about the environment? It's often minorities and poor whites that bear the brunt of pollution and environmental hazards here in the US. White Nationalism.

Opposition to climate change? It will be Africans along the coast of Africa, Asians in the South Pacific, and indigenous Russians that will get hit the first and the hardest when the icecaps melt away. White Nationalism.

Corruption? When you get a less qualified white man in vs a woman, a minority, etc. The good old boy networks and Trump's desire for a dynasty. How is that not... White Nationalism?

If the GOP is going to take any position we have and any candidate and call it "socialist", we might as well fight fire with fire, you know what I mean? And I think we're much closer to the truth than they are with "socialism".
