1ºTim Martin Lol, 'American' the only Americans are indigenous.
They/you? have always been here. In the 1770's they/you were the British Loyalist/Tories, in the 1860's they/you were the Confederates, then the KKK and other like groups. They fell out of favor. Then came DW Griffith's "Birth of a Nation", it revived the KKK. They/you?, have been popping in and out the entire time. Fast forward to the last quarter of the 20th century. The Turner Diaries become the new bible of the Right wing. Let's see The Order, pretty sure they are martyrs to many white supremacists. That fictional book culminated in the OKC bombing. There's Waco, Ruby Ridge... Welfare rancher Bundy and his offspring...
They/you are all terrorists.
2ºTim Martin Let's talk about conservatives.
The GOP Executive Branch track, err conviction record over the past 55 years is not very good. A little comparison contrast, over that time there have been 111 convictions in that branch of government and it is nowhere close to 50/50.
Republicans 110
Democrats 01
5 of those Executive office convictions are Trump's
The entire GOP feels persecuted, but their reasoning is faulty. They believe that if they do X the Dems must do it much much more.
But wait! Aren't Conservatives The Party of law and order!!
You'd think that, given the talking points. You know 'law and military' and stuff.
But: NO!
In the past 60 years of D and R presidential administrations there have been 106 convictions.
Logic<< lol << would lead you to think that it would distill down to like 53/ 53. It doesn't.
It is Republicans 105
Democrats 01
Obama (D) - 8 yrs in office. Zero criminal indictments, zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Bush, George W. (R) - 8 yrs in office. 16 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 9 prison sentences.
Clinton (D) - 8 yrs in office. 2 criminal indictments. One conviction. One prison sentence.
Bush, George H. W. (R) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment. One conviction. One prison sentence. (Bill Barr orchestrated multiple Pardons to stop Reagan/Bush investigations)
Reagan (R) - 8 yrs in office. 26 criminal indictments. 16 convictions. 8 prison sentences.
Carter (D) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment. Zero convictions and zero prison sentences.
Ford (R) - 4 yrs in office. One indictment and one conviction. One prison sentence.
