Is the Democratic Party an anti-white hate group?

[IceSpear]

No (sane, doesn't live in Appalachia or the Deep South)

[Santander]

Yes (patriot)

[Lexii, harbinger of chaos and sexual anarchy]

Yes

[Derpist]

Yes (patriot)

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yes (patriot)

Oh, go away.

[Intell]

Why Not?

The Democratic Party is a hate group of whomever is voting solidly GOP, especially voters they think *should* vote for them.  Blacks in the 1800s, rich suburban families in the '50s, poor White Southerners today ... all were at one point in time considered the scum of the Earth to the DNC, all likely will be again at some point.

[Sir Mohamed]

No, ridiculous claim. The Democratic Party is the party of the common man and stands of equal opportunity for all and not special interests.

Come now, Tom, you're usually more reasonable than this. Being condescending towards white working class voters is not the same as being a hate group. Otherwise, the same stigma would fall upon the Republican Party - have we already forgotten Mitt Romney?

[Famous Mortimer]

It will be in about 10 years.

[Ljube]

Yes

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

Of course, but they deserve to be hated, so it's OK.

I'm just making the point that parties tend to demonize those who vote solidly against them, especially when those voters are disliked/looked down upon by the party's most loyal groups.  These groups change, and so do to whom the parties belittle and mock.

The difference is, I think, that Republicans have usually historically chastised Democrats as being morally compromised or lazy and looking for a handout.  That's not admirable, but I honestly believe it comes across as less nasty as what Democrats have historically done, and that's chastise Republicans as not *getting it* ("it" being the liberal point of view of the time), aka being fundamentally dumber than Democrats.  Go back and watch campaign videos of FDR or even campaign leaflets from the 1800s (I had the great pleasure of viewing many in a Civil War/Reconstruction class I took in college).  Democrats have quite literally always portrayed the GOP as rich businessmen tricking a bunch of useful idiots into voting against their interests, be those idiots zealoty Northern Protestant puritans in the 1800s, farmers in the 1950s or poor White Southerners today.  After a while, in a liberal's mind (no offense, just contrasting how I believe liberals and conservatives view the world), the only logical explanation for why people would vote for this party you view as stupid, racist or greedy is that those voters are stupid, racist or greedy themselves.  Once it's been concluded a group is any of those things, what is the incentive to not let 'em have it??

Democrats hate the working class, regardless of race.

Why do think my wife made me register as a Democrat?

Why do think my wife made me register as a Democrat?

'Cause 🎵(great grand)daddy was a veteran, a Southern Democrat, and they oughtta get a rich man to vote like that 🎵??

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

they only hate the "wrong kind of white people."

If only granddaddy Wallace could see me now.

The left hate successful middle class people regardless of their race. Thats why they try to divide people into class, race, sex instead of respecting people as humans.

Oh, I'm going to have to disagree with that. Maybe things are different outside of Indiana, but the Republicans politicians around here don't say that Democrats are "morally compromised," they say we're godless sinners who will burn in Hell. In the predominantly white, predominantly wealthy area where I live, Republican candidates for county office routinely invoke the threat posed by our (mostly poor, black) neighbors in the next county ('No mass transit! It's not safe to ride the bus with those people!'). There is definitely an attitude among some conservatives, and wealthy evangelicals are perhaps most prone to it, that liberals are worthless moochers who rank somewhere between cockroaches and child molesters. Sometimes they say we are child molesters.

I won't deny that Democrats say some nasty things about Republican voters, but I think the question of who is the worst offender depends on where you live and who you're listening to.

Wow, I had no idea the Atlas Forum was so aligned with West Virginia on this subject. No wonder why you guys hate when I bash it (though, oddly enough, many of the people who get most angry at me probably voted "no.")

I voted yes, while obviously believing no, because this was a stupid topic deserving of a nice troll.

Democrats have quite literally always portrayed the GOP as rich businessmen tricking a bunch of useful idiots into voting against their interests, be those idiots zealoty Northern Protestant puritans in the 1800s, farmers in the 1950s or poor White Southerners today.  After a while, in a liberal's mind (no offense, just contrasting how I believe liberals and conservatives view the world), the only logical explanation for why people would vote for this party you view as stupid, racist or greedy is that those voters are stupid, racist or greedy themselves.  Once it's been concluded a group is any of those things, what is the incentive to not let 'em have it??

To be fair, working class white Southerners have pretty solidly demonstrated this election season they don't actually know what's in theirs or anybody else's best interest by backing Trump, a rich businessman tricking a bunch of useful idiots into voting for him.
