Republican leader history led to it. Look at the Republican presidents since Eisenhower. Story: I stood by my nearest subway entrance in November, 2000 handing out flyers for Albert Gore,Jr., concious of being in the path of workers returning to the Pacific Garden Mission, the local home for homeless men. Before I offered a flyer to a dusty worker, I asked if he were planning to vote. Approached by a small, very dusty black man, I offered a flyer and asked the question. The reply was the briefest and best history lesson ever: “Lady, I don’t need a flyer. I wouldn’t vote for George Bush. I didn’t vote for his daddy. I didn’t vote for Ronald Reagan and I didn’t vote for Richard Nixon.” He walked on down the street.
And while canvassing for Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary, I heard a young white woman with a brief case tell her little boy I was a communist. I learned a lot about the electorate from canvassing, and I regret that I can no longer do it.

Lies not a new thing, just institutionalized with repubs
