Quote:It's unlikely that I'd find one. Being "transracial" wouldn't benefit a Republican politician at all, because as FBT pointed out, minority populations are essentially hard-wired to vote Democratic as this point.

 

What does seem to be a uniquely Republican form of scandal is covering up your sexual orientation. Larry Craig, one easy example, consistently voted against the extension of equal rights to homosexual couples, then was caught in the bathroom of the Minneapolis airport soliciting sexual favors from a man. Randy Boehning, who voted against an anti-discrimination bill, was caught sending explicit pictures on a gay singles app. David Dreier has voted against gay rights legislation for years, yet allegation after allegation have popped up about him having sex with his male staffers, including at least one long-term relationship.

 

Point being, each side lies about what's important to their voters. That's not to condone what Elizabeth Warren (who is a terrible legislator, btw) and Rachel Dolezal did. I could scour the web for days and I'd probably never find a report of a Republican pretending to be black, because that wouldn't win them any votes. I can find example after example of Republican politicians being outed as gay after a lengthy career opposing gay rights, and to me, that's no better than what Warren and Dolezal did.

 

OK, I'm going to "call you out" on a typical liberal tactic (yes, that is a blanket statement).

 

First of all, there is no such thing as a "transracial" person.  If it really matters, it's less possible to do than a "transgender" procedure.

 

What I'm "calling you out on" is trying to change the focus of discussion.  Since you can't "win" the argument, change the focus to a social dilemma.  The sexual habits of certain republican politicians is NOT the same as what two liberals have done.  Yes they may have voted one way and lived their personal lives a different way, but it's not the same thing.

 

Your problem is the use of the word "liberal" in the meme.  There really is nothing that you can say that changes that from being the truth.
