Will This be Botany Boy in 2019?

I became a Democrat a year ago and found my own voice. It changed everything.

Kurt Bardella’s Surprising Evolution From Breitbart Publicist to Country-Music Insider. He's also now a Democrat.

I’ll tell you, being a Democrat is a heck of a lot more emotionally exhausting than being a Republican was, because I care about a lot more things than I used to. There must be some wisdom in the old saying that “ignorance is bliss.” It’s funny, because I remember as a Republican, we would often mock “bleeding-heart liberals” who are always “caring” so much. I think to myself now, what the hell is wrong with these Republicans who don’t seem to care about anything at all?

On a personal level, one of the biggest changes for me has been how I view issues of race. I’ve spent the bulk of my life avoiding race. My first name is German, my last name is Italian and I was born in Seoul, South Korea — I’m adopted. I grew up in a very rough part of upstate New York where I was taunted and at times beat up by kids because I was (and looked) different. On some level, I was conditioned through this treatment to believe that being different was a bad thing and so I avoided it.

I’ve spent the bulk of my life rejecting my Asian-American heritage. Quite frankly, as a Republican, this was very easy to do. The Republican Party’s attitude toward anyone who isn’t white speaks for itself. Why would I want to even pursue an association as a “minority” in a political party that spouts hateful rhetoric about minorities and pushes policies that discriminate against anyone who isn’t white? It was a pretty cowardly attitude considering how many have been brave enough to take a stand and fight for minority rights and confront social injustice.

But once I stepped away from the Republican Party, its efforts to promote racism through rhetoric and policies offended me on a very personal level. I began engaging in these issues and exploring what it means to be a minority in America. One of my favorite moments of this year was participating in a panel at Politi-con called “Crazy Political Asians.” At one point, the moderator, MSNBC’s Richard Lui, asked our panel what year each of us owned up to being a member of the Asian-American Pacific Islander community. Most people gave answers like kindergarten or middle school. My response was “2018.” It may seem like a small thing, but saying this in public for the first time was a big deal for me.

It's ok, we'll be there for you

CF's TDS is so bad now I'm living rent free in her head.


No CF.....I will not become a socialist (D)egenerate in 2019.

I will stand for western liberal ideals until I die and no amount of racist bullshit from the left will change that.

You're NEVER going to get me to hate white people for being white or men for being masculine or deny biology for feelings or any of the other insane bullshit the left is pushing today.

LOL....and the thought that people upset over the idea that wholesale importation of a hostile and antithetical culture somehow makes them less than?

Not being total idiots who want to see their way of life destroyed makes them BAD!!!

That is exactly why I'll never be a (D)umb fucking hypocrite.

How does a minority moving into town a building a place of worship destroy the majority’s way of life?
