The acquittal decision is going to hurt republicans.

Those who sit in the middle of the conversation of how much racism there still is in this country, will
certainly revisit the “Racist America Conversation”...
I also think a lot of mothers will realize that this country is becoming more and more dangerous with the idiotic “stand your ground laws and the Right’s obsession with anti-gun control

Unfortunately this falls on the back of Trevor and those who loved him deeply...

1. It's republicans who enacted the laws

to make this tragedy a certain outcome.

2. Exactly why they will pay political consequences...

3. Respectfully...

I keep hearing that "the _______ will hurt the republicans" for at least the last four years - but look around - they seem to be far more successful at pushing forward their sick and twisted agenda than Dems even though Dems control 2/3 of the national government and the Justice Department.

Take a look at women's rights, gun legislation, aid for students and the poor, along with help for the sick, and the elderly. Looks to me like TeaPublicans are laughing all the way to the bank while weak kneed spineless Dems are far more interested in going along to get along.

I wish there were half a million people in the streets screaming at the top of their lungs about this travesty of justice along with countless other issues where the rights of ordinary Americans are being taken from them but its just not happening. I hope to god that you are right but I'm just not seeing it.

4. Fact is the country is slowly turning...

Tea bagger victories in house and governorships were the beginning..it will take time...especially since the 1% controlled media is also at risk and they fight change the inevitable change everyday.
I’m just saying that the acquittal is just another nail in their coffin..

Woman are totally in on the reproductive rights, more of them will be in after they ingest what actually
happened in this trial.....Scalia and company complains that there is no more racism in the country, people in the middle who are sensible have had a rude awakening..

5. The only thing it will do is cause the GOP to close ranks and be the white peoples Party Now

many of their leaders are even saying it, we only need white votes why bother with any other voters they will vote for Democrats anyway.

The only republicans now are racists, misogynists, christian fundies, gun nutters and those that support them or willing to whore themselves out and sell out the nation for the scraps of the 1%.

America's very own Brown Shirts now!

6. and xenophobic...

Couldn’t agree more... You mentioned the Brown Shirts.. Obviously we are always fearful of making that part of the national discussion, but there is no doubt on my mind that at least 30% of these nuts would be ready in a second to fully support a fascist dictator with his efforts to implement a Nazi type of agenda..Perhaps without the death camps, but full of horrible political prisons and detention camps..

These people are old, white, angry, and find that their existence relies on hate.. They love old flags and yearn for the years of" glory wars.”. Sound Familiar?
