The GOP has clearly become the party of the straight white male. They aren’t even trying to hide it anymore. They overtly champion other straight white males regardless of past (or current) wrongdoings and openly dismiss the likes of women, minorities and the gay community.
Here’s what they need to remember…straight white males are just one segment of society. If you have two teams and on one are all the straight white males in the country and on the other is…everyone else, who do you think is going to win that fight?
They also need to remember that many of those straight white males they champion in Congress have seats that are opening up for this midterm election. And who do they think will be voting in these midterms? All those groups that they oppressed have been biding their time. Just waiting for the opportunity to turn the tide. And yes folks, that tide will be turning blue this midterm.
People are fed up. Assault victims are tired of being called liars. Minorities are tired of getting the police called on them simply for existing. People in the LGBTQ community are tired of being called “deviant” or “perverted” and being lumped in with child molesters.
There have been protests. There have been marches. There have been speeches. For too long, these groups have been oppressed. Now, we have the opportunity in this midterm election, to remove some of those oppressors and replace them with people who will lift up these groups to bring everyone onto a more level playing field.
