They had a hold on the Democratic Party, from 1865 until the mid-1960s, but both parties had wings that balanced racism and made it okay - as long as one was white. Then LBJ, a white southerner, backed the Civil Rights Act. 2/11

White supremacists have taken control of the Republican Party (a/k/a GOP). They are a minority, but are well-financed and have an advantage: control of one of the two major political parties. 1/11

GOP strategists realized they could pick up where George Wallace left off. Fast-forward to 2010. Republican candidates learned “primary” could be a verb - if a GOP candidate wasn’t hateful enough. 3/11

Racism goes foot-in-glove with ignorance. Anti-science, anti-humanity and absorption with absurd ideas rejected long ago coalesced to produce this administration and the bungled COVID-19 crisis. 4/11

Both “major” parties have played a game that has created structures - e.g., automatic listing of a party’s candidates on the ballot - nearly impossible to challenge as a “third” party - petitions and thousands of signatures. 5/11

The idiocracy that has become the GOP must be fought - but within as much as against. Rather crude blueprints are there. I don’t have a secret decoder ring from the Deep State. I believe we need to take over the GOP. 6/11

If you live in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District (INCD5), your vote can make a difference. The dozen or so candidates for the GOP nomination running against me try to out-trump each other. Indiana’s primaries: quasi-open. 7/11

A registered voter may request a D or R primary ballot & overcomes challenge as a “real” R or D if s/he says s/he voted 4 majority of the party’s nominees in last election or promises to vote 4 majority of nominees in November. I.C. §§ 3-1-10-6 and -9. 8/11

Tea baggers jacked the GOP in 2010. They even were a minority then. Just because they were successful doesn’t mean the party is theirs forever. 9/11

If you live in INCD5 & eligible please register to vote. Any voter can request a GOP primary ballot. We face a constitutional crisis. The GOP has to be taken back from the minority that jacked it a few years ago. 10/11

I am Mark Small, GOP candidate in the June 2 primary for INCD5. I am pro-choice, anti-NRA, pro-environment, anti-war and anti-dt. My secret decoder ring tells me to drink Ovaltine. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 11/11
