I Don't Know How The Republicans Stop Being "The Stupid Party" When The Republicans Are This Stupid

Can you really convince anyone, today, this party has changed?

 "For many years, the NAACP and other civil rights groups lobbied the U.S. Congress and a series of presidents to make lynching a Federal crime. Southern Democrats in the U.S. Senate for decades had the power to block or filibuster all legislative remedies that civil rights organizations had sought. Meanwhile, thousands of African Americans across the South, as well as other sections of the country, were lynched, burned alive, or executed, often with crowds of whites participating in, or witnessing these gory events. While Americans attempted to believe that racial violence ended with the Civil Rights legislation, hate crimes, racially motivated police brutality and Klan violence proliferated throughout the country in the late 1980’s and 1990s.

In June 2005, the U.S. Senate finally voted to issue a formal 'apology for lynching.' This represented the first time in U.S. history that Congress had acknowledged, in a formal resolution, the historic crimes committed against people of African descent in the United States. However, when the resolution came to the floor of the Senate for a final voice vote, only 85 U.S. Senators had co-signed as sponsors. Fifteen senators, all Republicans, had not."
