Sometimes you have to wonder if guys like this guy are smoking those funny cigarettes. Of course the bill isn’t going anywhere, at least I don’t think it is, so all this bill shows is how nutty these guys have become.
You study history, the good and the bad, and you learn from it. The Democrats of today are vastly different than the Democrats from 1840 to 1864.
Unfortunately it would seem the Republican Party of today is trying to drag this country back to a time before 1864.
So while this guy may want to have an uncomfortable conversation about the Democrats of old you can bet the farm he’s not interested in having a frank discussion about the Republican Party of today and their actions.
From the Article…
“Blaise Ingoglia bill would ‘cancel’ Democratic Party“
“Some people want to have "uncomfortable conversations" about certain subjects.'
Sen. Blaise Ingoglia is sponsoring the “Ultimate Cancel Act,” which would eliminate all political parties that once used slavery as part of its platform.
While “Democratic Party” isn’t mentioned in the bill, Ingoglia said that’s his target.
“For years now, leftist activists have been trying to ‘cancel’ people and companies for things they have said or done in the past. This includes the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings,” he said. “Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democratic Party itself for the same reason.”
The measure (SB 1248) would switch Democratic voters to no-party voters or give them the option of choosing another party.
The Democratic Party adopted pro-slavery positions in their platforms during the conventions of 1840, 1844, 1856, 1860 and 1864, Ingoglia noted.
Indeed, the Democratic Party’s beginnings were rooted in states’ rights, including slavery. The party split during the Civil War, with Southern Democrats favoring slavery in all territories and Northern Democrats arguing it should go to a popular vote.
A century later, it was a Democratic president from the South, Lyndon Johnson, who signed the Civil Rights Act.
According to Ingoglia’s bill, the Division of Elections would decertify any political party that has “previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”
Registered voters of that party would receive notices from the state that their party has been “canceled” and that they’re now no-party voters.
As for the canceled Democratic Party, it could re-register with the state so long as the name is “substantially different from the name of any other party previously registered.”
Ingoglia said Democrats should be called upon to face their past.
“Some people want to have ‘uncomfortable conversations’ about certain subjects,” he said. “Let’s have those conversations.”
