About This Quote

A few days ago, I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed and came across an article about the 2016 presidential election. The comments were filled with people voicing their opinions on what would happen in the upcoming election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. A commenter named Elizabeth (no last name given) said, "We had a choice between Democrats who couldn't learn from the past and Republicans who couldn't stop living in it." She nailed it. The prevailing attitude of the Republican Party is that they want to keep things exactly the same.

They want to go back to when their party was riding high on the backs of white male supremacy, when segregation was still law, when women couldn't vote or get an education, when minorities were legally discriminated against, and when gays were considered criminals. They want to keep it just like it was then. If you're anything like me, you'll be disgusted by this idea.
