When you say, as a white person, that white people have greater rights under the law than black people, and you imply that white people are superior to black people, because of genetics–you are a racist and a racial supremacist.

Racism is racism — no matter which race you elevate as superior to all the others.

If the Democrats ever succeed in packing the Supreme Court, statehood for D.C. and Puerto Rico and elimination of the Electoral College, then the U.S. is over. Red states will not submit to one-party rule under Communist, mentally imbalanced fascists. President AOC? Seriously? Will patriots stand for five minutes of this? So we will simply secede and break apart. States like Virginia will break apart, and perhaps nonurban California and New York will break off from urban centers. It’s sad and (to some) still unthinkable; but one lopsided (and, yes, fraudulent) election for the Democrats, and it’s over. Only one. A broken up America, while a tragedy, is preferable to an America permanently and unilaterally owned by the psychotic tyrants the Democratic Party has become. Prepare yourselves for this possibility.

The following is by Ayn Rand. 1966 “Conservatism: An Obituary” in “Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal”. It speaks to why leftism hasn’t yet been wiped off the map — when doing so should have been so damn EASY:
Writes Rand (way back in 1966, though it might be today):
It is obvious that with this sort of theoretical equipment and with an unbroken record of defeats, concessions, compromises, and betrayals in practice, today’s “conservatives” are futile, impotent and, culturally, dead. They have nothing to offer and can achieve nothing. They can only help to destroy intellectual standards, to disintegrate thought, to discredit capitalism, and to accelerate this country’s uncontested collapse into despair and dictatorship. But to those of you who do wish to contest it—particularly those of you who are young and are not ready to surrender—I want to give a warning: nothing is as dead as the stillborn.
Nothing is as futile as a movement without goals, or a crusade without ideals, or a battle without ammunition. A bad argument is worse than ineffectual: it lends credence to the arguments of your opponents. A half-battle is worse than the victory of your enemies.
At a time when the world is torn by a profound ideological conflict, do not join those who have no ideology—no ideas, no philosophy—to offer you. Do not go into battle armed with nothing but stale slogans, pious platitudes, and meaningless generalities. Do not join any so-called “conservative” group, organization, or person that advocates any variant of the arguments from “faith,” from “tradition,” or from “depravity.” Any home-grown sophist in any village debate can refute those arguments and can drive you into evasions in about five minutes. What would happen to you, with such ammunition, on the philosophical battlefield of the world?
But you would never reach that battlefield: you would not be heard on it, since you would have nothing to say.
It is not by means of evasions that one saves civilization. It is not by means of empty slogans that one saves a world perishing for lack of intellectual leadership. It is not by means of ignoring its causes that one cures a deadly disease.
So long as the “conservatives” ignore the issue of what destroyed capitalism, and merely plead with men to “go back,” they cannot escape the question of: back to *what*?
And none of their evasions can camouflage the fact that the implicit answer is: back to an earlier stage of the cancer which is devouring us today and which has almost reached its terminal stage. That cancer is the morality of altruism.
So long as the “conservatives” evade the issue of altruism, all of their pleas and arguments amount, in essence, to this:
Why can’t we just go back to the nineteenth century when capitalism and altruism seemed somehow to co-exist? Why do we have to go to extremes and think of surgery, when the early stages of the cancer were painless?
The answer is that the facts of reality—which includes history and philosophy—are not to be evaded. Capitalism was destroyed by the morality of altruism. Capitalism is based on individual rights—not on the sacrifice of the individual to the “public good” of the collective. Capitalism and altruism are incompatible.
It’s one or the other. It’s too late for compromises, for platitudes, and for aspirin tablets. There is no way to save capitalism—or freedom, or civilization, or America—except by *intellectual* surgery, that is: by destroying the source of the destruction, by rejecting the morality of altruism.
If you want to fight for capitalism, there is only one type of argument that you should adopt, the only one that can ever win in a moral issue: *the argument from self-esteem*.
This means: the argument from man’s right to exist—from man’s inalienable individual right to his own life.
I quote from my book *For the New Intellectual*:
The world crisis of today is a *moral* crisis—and nothing less than a moral revolution can resolve it: a moral revolution to sanction and complete the political achievement of the American Revolution…. The New Intellectual must fight for capitalism, not as a “practi-cal” issue, not as an economic issue, but, with the most righteous pride, as a *moral* issue. That is what capitalism deserves, and nothing less will save it.
Capitalism is not the system of the past; it is the system of the future—if mankind is to have a future. Those who wish to fight for it, must discard the title of “conservatives.”
“Conservatism” has always been a misleading name, inappropriate to America. Today, there is nothing left to “conserve”: the established political philosophy, the intellectual orthodoxy, and the *status quo are collectivism*. Those who reject all the basic premises of collectivism are radicals in the proper sense of the word: “radical” means “fundamental.” Today, the fighters for capitalism have to be, not bankrupt “conservatives,” but new *radicals*, new intellectuals and, above all, new, dedicated moralists.

Red states are frustrating because they are inhabited by Republicans who know what’s right, but are often afraid to say so. Blue states, on the other hand, are literally inhabited and dominated by psychopaths.
Consider what’s happening in Delaware:
Delaware House Republicans issued a public statement condemning comments made by State Rep. Eric Morrison during debate over legislation involving violent felony exclusions and Delaware’s SEED scholarship program.
During the committee discussion, Morrison argued that many rape cases are statutory offenses and not what he described as “violent rape,” while also claiming there are “a whole lot of misconceptions” surrounding sex offenders. The remarks quickly sparked backlash.
In response, the House GOP caucus stated:
“His belief that most sex offenders are being victimized by ‘a whole lot of misconceptions’ is only surpassed by his casual dismissal of the mental and physical trauma suffered by the victims of sex crimes he perceives as non-violent. It would be concerning for any citizen to exhibit such hubris, but for a lawmaker, it strikes us as dangerously misguided.” (posted by Sonja Glenn Bochow)
Psychopaths. The Democratic Party is the party of psychopaths. Democrats are ALL the things they falsely claim President Trump is, and worse. You cannot negotiate with these monsters and to vote for them is an act of suicide-homicide.
