Good day all. For the last few months, the Progressive Liberal Democrats have been working overtime to erase the historical facts regarding the Civil War, slavery and the party’s role in both. This has led to what has been called the “Cancel Culture” raging through the Internet.
Now, in a classic case of “Sauce for the Goose”, the Republicans in the House of Representatives are introducing a bill that will ban the Democrat Party. Here are the details from Fox News:
A group of Republican House members, led by Rep. Louis Gohmert of Texas, introduced a resolution Thursday that would effectively ban the Democratic Party from the House or force a party name change over past slavery ties — a response to the recent efforts to remove tributes to past members of the Confederacy from the halls of Congress.
It specifically cites the Democratic Party platform’s support for slavery between 1840 and 1856, and other racist actions by party members through the early-to-mid 1900s, before calling on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to “remove any items that names, symbolizes or mentions any political organization or party that has ever held a public position that supported slavery or the Confederacy” from the House and its properties. The resolution also says such a party “shall either change its name or be barred from participation in the House of Representatives.”
Gohmert, in a statement accompanying the bill, told Democrats they should rebrand to “avoid triggering” anyone.
“As outlined in the resolution, a great portion of the history of the Democratic Party is filled with racism and hatred,” Gohmert said. “Since people are demanding we rid ourselves of the entities, symbols, and reminders of the repugnant aspects of our past, then the time has come for Democrats to acknowledge their party’s loathsome and bigoted past, and consider changing their party name to something that isn’t so blatantly and offensively tied to slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination, and the Ku Klux Klan.”
He added: “To avoid triggering innocent bystanders by the racist past of the Democratic Party, I would suggest they change their name. That is the standard to which they are holding everyone else, so the name change needs to occur.”
Representative Gohmert, in order to really grind the sale int the wound, arranged to make this resolution privileged,
Because the resolution is privileged, it takes priority over other business on the House floor. And assuming it isn’t dispensed with via voice vote, lawmakers would likely be forced to go on the record on the resolution, even if that’s through a motion to table it or refer it to a committee.
Oh there is very little doubt that the Democrats will broom this, but it’s to late. If they dispose of it with a voice vote, then the Republican Party will use that in campaign ads saying that the Democrats refuse to acknowledge their on history and will use procedures to cover up their historical crimes.
If they get past the voice vote, and manage to force an on the record vote, it puts the Democrats right into the worst place possible. The proverbial “Rock and a hard place.” If they go on record opposing the resolution, then they will be shown to be hypocrites. If the pass the resolution, then they have to either rename the party or resign from office.
Once again, we’re seeing the “Trump Effect” taking hold in the Republican party. Instead of their usual go along to get along tendencies, (Which the party base has had enough of), they are now fighting back and using the Democrats own history and tactics against them. I understand that there is a shortage of popcorn in America at the moment.
