Bold of you to assume all conservatives are the same. The only thing I would be asking is why didn't the crowd do something? Everyone wants to blame the cop and someone else but when YOU see wrong doing it is YOUR responsibility to intervene. Don't be a f**king passive bystander, throw the perp off! Grow a pair and make a difference!
Who are you referring to anyways? There has been so many lately and I don't keep up with all the details.
I blame the crowd just as much as the cop. All people does in this damned world nowadays is video record a crime. Hardly anyone steps and does the right thing anymore. No, just pull out that gadget and go recording, useless! Absolutely useless.

They were worried about being shot or going to prison by interfering, but yes, it may have been the right thing to do anyway. Also, recording with the gadget wasn't useless.

Yes. We would. Because all people are equal, versus what this idiotic, unaccepting view of all republicans in general says.

Where is he
What I see is a bunch of racists who have no affiliation with an innocent dead man
at least we didn't hound RBG when she died
although she took an oath to be impartial, she somehow always voted according to democratic values
odd

The majority of conservatives wouldn't have said that. They would have said it was murder.

That is untrue as well. We believe everyone deserves equal treatment, regardless of who they are affiliated with or how. It is at the core of our beliefs as it is at the core of the Constitution (and don't bring up that the founding fathers supported slavery, it was the world's most profitable business at the time. Plus, 13th amendment), and it is at the core of human morality in general.

Conservatives were on the wrong side of history when it came to the civil rights struggle (equal treatment) in 1960s America. Anyway, I can't prove what the outcome of my hypothetical Rush Limbaugh scenario would be.

Yeah, conservatives switched from being called Democrats to being called Republicans by the late 50s. Democrats were the right.

It was very complicated and not a sudden switch. By the time JFK ran for president, the switch was pretty much official.

And the reason why JFK being a Catholic running for Potus (which was scandalous at the time) carried The South, mainly Texas was because he chose Lyndon Johnson as his running mate, a Southern Democrat aka Dixiecrat who won him Texas.

I was wrong, the switch was still evolving when JFK was president. More "official" by the civil rights act of 1964. LBJ was unique as a Texas Democrat pushing for civil rights. So the GOP has been as we know it since 1964.

1964 - Barry Goldwater, and Strom Thurmond marked the beginning when the Ideology & the people that believed it switched from the now changing Democrat Party and Joined the Republican Party who was now holding the views they agreed with. Or another form of Confirmation bias. You go to where everybody is that agrees with you.

And you leave the place where you no longer agree or have the popular opinion.

My map was just to show how the far-right south went from being Democrats to Republicans by the mid-20th century; they haven't switched since then and are still red states here in 2021.

Views change with time. The fact we were running with the wrong crowd gives us a bad rap, but we aren't as bad as people like to make us out to be. The same goes for Democrats.

If he was killed as that it would be his fault and the cops fault

Ultimately it was Floyd's fault for resisting arrest, but that doesn't justify his death
