No, I don't think Trump or his supporters want to move us back to slavery. That was an exaggeration to make a point. I can't believe that anybody would take that seriously. But what the point was, is that the Republican Party for eight years now has done everything in its power to repress the minority vote in the South. They did it by having extremely tough voting laws requiring specialized IDs and claiming there was pervasive voting fraud which is a lie. There was no smear in their it all. The guilty parties in this conversation are not me, they're the Republicans who deny that they're trying to repress the vote when they have actually admitted it at times. So what else are they going to try and do to minorities when Sessions is appointed Atty. Gen. The entire African-American community is up in arms about him being appointed because of his past racist history. << Do you really think that Republicans, or conservatives, or Trump Supporters (three different groups even though they overlap) would like to re-institute slavery, and that since they know they can't do they will try to move the US back to institutionalized segregation? How many people do you think actually think that way. You imply its typical about Republicans but if you really believe that then you do indeed live in a very thick bubble. If you don't then you should apologize for the smear.
