More like white as a Klan’s robe…

The white population has declined in the following census for the first time since the first one taken in 1790.

With his head detached from the rest of his body, one can see how mendacity is integral to modern day GOP. Say it ain’t so Ike.

Explains why the Grand OLD Party keeps trying to drag America back to the fake vision of the 1950’s.

Ghosts are already dead but some don’t know they are . . . .like the G.O.P.

Missing the pointed hood.

I have my own loony conspiracy theory about the census. I think a lot of GQP’s are not filling out the census. I filled out a form online. There used to be people hired to come around and ask questions. I don’t think a voluntary system is going to get an accurate count. It works to GQP’s advantage because they have an excuse to gerrymander when it looks like a district has less population.

Conservative whites fought ferociously and without conscience to hold power for decades. They now control a well-financed political party. Do not underestimate them.

Except for the scotch marks…

Rubbing it in? They’re embracing it with a passion.

Just think, these are the results we got AFTER Trump and his crew spent the last four years trying to skew the results that they already KNEW they were going to get. Imagine how they would have been if Trump had allowed an honest, scientific census to be taken.

That.. is why it’s so important for the republicans to establish voting rules that.. um, help.

Ouch. May the QOP go extinct.

And it’s time Y’allquaida gave it up and let the world progress.

It’s time the justice department divided themselves from Y’allquaida as well. Stop slapping the terrorists that attacked democracy January 6th on the wrist. Time to hand out the sentences those insurrectionists really deserve. Getting caught up in the moment is no excuse to attack democracy and hunt down politicians to hang. I couldn’t imagine getting caught up in that kind of moment ever.

Somewhere Rump and Miller are throwing up at the prospects of a more diverse America.

In all the news about the Census data, the bit I thought was best was the increase in the number of people marking down White and [another group] on the form. We’re becoming not only more diverse, but more multiracial. And that’s the fulfillment of the US as a “melting pot.”

Since the majority of POC are unvaccinated, the country’s demographics should change soon (according to the left).

Ghost seems appropriate for a party that looked at the old, dying supporters of American Apartheid, and then looked at the faces of immigrants, bursting with talent and ambition and ready to revitalize our nation… and went with the geriatric spleen babies, because they have more money right now, and this party can’t think beyond the next handout.

Welcome to being a ghost, guys. At least you have an excuse for the sheet now.

In danger of extinction?

Many racist whites are afraid that the past history of segregation and oppression will be turned on them.

If we rely only on white people, our population is going to decline and there won’t be enough workers to support Social Security for us retired white folks. Get a clue: we need a rational immigration program so we can invite those productive workers to come and continue what has made us America.

Is it any WONDER why the white supremacists are running scared, angry and sometimes out of control?

“Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security…Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.”

— NOT anyone from the Republican Party Of Trump.

So the country is becoming more diverse and multi-racial than ever? As a certifiable old white guy, I say “Hallelujah! About time! Speed the day! Variety is the spice of life! Bring on the rainbows!”
