    Are you making the ludicrous suggestion that the Democratic Party of 1866 is the same as the one today?

      No, I’m making the suggestion that D can and has changed in the past and that supporting them blindly forever is not wise.

      Biden was fighting for segregation at the end of the day. This isn’t 1866 history, the Southern Strategy happened in the 1960s

            Do you take everything everyone says absolutely literally? That must make things very hard for you.

              Flyingsquid, there’s a lot that can be said about you. Let’s not devolve into personal attacks here.

                  You and I both know I never once “literally” called you a bigot.

                  There is no need to outright make up shit.

                    Fine. You just made it explicitly clear that you were suggesting I was a bigot.

                    Doesn’t make you any less hypocritical.

                    I’m still waiting to hear who I’m bigoted against, by the way.

            In the current context, blue no matter who is the correct position.

            There is no reason to assume that the person was stating blue no matter who regardless of all other future and hypothetical situations which are not currently relevant."

            What is Blue MAGA?

              Blue MAGA is the Dem fanatics who utter phrases like “blue no matter who”. Much the same as there are those who will blindly support Trump no matter what, Dems have the same problem.

                In the current context, blue no matter who is the only appropriate in response to the opposition being literal fascists.

                Unbunch your undies.
