"Hey! Stop that! Make us look good! Stop making a big deal about... You know... Racism... Child sex trafficking... Corruption.... That stuff. Report on RFK spouting pseudoscience!!"
That is a non excuse... We're supposed to think there's some kind of context that makes this less racist? Spoiler: there isn't. He knew what he was posting, and chose to post it anyways.
Yeah, I heard it was a part of a video with a number of trump opponents depicted as animals and trump as 'king of the jungle'. So, yeah. Great. That's much better... Outside of everything else, trump posts links to videos that are just so childishly stupid - like this thing, or that one Pro Wrestling thing where he's 'beating up' CNN. Beyond lame... although I guess it's good to get stuff out that appeals to kindergarteners...
I mean, Scott is a republican. Every day of this clown show administration is alienating more and more republicans. Yes the party as a whole is still slurping down the orange cock but the individuals are starting to splinter.
Until scott does something about it, it's fake outrage to avoid backlash. If these republicans want to be seen as anything other than apologists or accomplices, they have to take action, it is literally their job to affect change.
He won't do anything. I'm surprised be posted this.
The hope would be that the foolish clack people who vote for him because they think he's going to help them finally get a clue. But I'm not hopeful for that.
They already have. Karoline Leavitt claimed itās just āfake outrageā over āan internet memeā. As usual they see nothing wrong with what theyāve done and anyone who has a problem with it is just dismissed as being fake.
Considering all of US history and how race / skin colour focused virtually everybody in this country is... nope.. you haven't been overtaken by Nazis. They always ran the show, but let al liberal looking front be the visible show runners.
Oh, I'm certainly not holier. We had and still have Nazis. We fell for the angry Austrian.. soo... Just wanted to point out that the complete history of the US of A is based on racism. Just ask any Native American.
No fucking goddamn shit, good fucking thing I didn't fucking say otherwise, right? Being lectured by someone that's not from a perfect country about my country where I've read far more about our bloody, unjustified history. Pot, here's the fucking kettle, go take a shit in it and make some tea.
And what kind of stupid attempt to deny it should "I hope this is fake" even be? He acknowledges that it comes from the White House. What else should be fake with this? Or did he believe that the Obamas could actually look like that in real life and then it would be OK to film them like that?
He's even too stupid to realize, that his "hope" doesn't even make any sense at all.
He acknowledges that it comes from the white house and that specifically Trump should remove it. So he thought that someone in the White House would send out a doctored Trump "Truth" screenshot and that Trump should take that fake screenshot down? Or that this hopefully was faked by Trump to look like one of his "Truths" instead of actually posting it as a "Truth"? Still don't get it, tbh.
Uncle Tom's Cabin is a fascinating glimpse into the minds of its readers over the decades, but the message in the story is not the message it's used to convey today. Uncle Tom helps slaves escape, but doesn't rise up to seize his own freedom. In the book he is a victim making the best of his life (Like Sisyphus in Camus' interpretation), but during the Civil rights movement he became a symbol of cowardice and was considered a "race traitor" because he took this passive approach.
Teachable moment: not every American of African descent prefers the term āAfrican-American.ā Some of us prefer āBlackā.
*raises hand*
Ditto my Father.
My Mom will give you a lecture on why she hates the term āAfrican-Americanāā¦BUT sheās not that fond of āblackā either. (We just donāt bother; best not to.)
Hey fucking dumbass. THEY'RE CALLED "BLACKS FOR TRUMP" would you rather we called them something they didn't want to be called? You stupid cuck. The group designated itself Blacks for Trump. They formed a group of people, then they naked themselves. The name they picked for themselves was "Blacks for Trump" -- YOU don't get to pick what they're called based on your personal sensitivities, especially since you're not in the group. You know how I know? YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE CALLED.
We let people out themselves in their own way, on their own terms. Not counting Lindsay, but I do sometimes wonder just how deep the self hatred goes...
Looks like those numbers break down into 3,436127.6 black voters of the estimated total 42,951,595 estimated black population and 1,920,000 of the estimated 10-11( i rounded to 12,000,000) LGBT community meaning after higher percentage of the smaller group turns out to a lower overall number by just under half.
You say someoneās āItalian Americanā if theyāre from Italy, not āEuropean Americanā. You say someoneās āVeitnamese Americanā if theyāre from Veitnam, not āAsian American.ā You say someoneās āIndian Americanā if theyāre from India, not āAsain Americanā. You say someoneās Australian American if theyāre from Australia, not Oceanian American. And you should be saying that musk is South African American because thatās the country heās from. Africa is not a country.
If their race is important for demographic reasons āAfrican Americansā āEuropean Americansā āAsian Americansā Etc. But if the race isnāt important, I just call them Americans.
Guess which one children didn't have idiotic bitched complaining about pepe using their name. Good job intentionally missing the point, it's a great way to be sure nobody ever takes you seriously.
My friend, I don't know why you're digging in on this. I showed you people literally calling themselves "blacks for trump". Nobody needs to politically correct another's chosen title. In fact, we are pretty adamant around here that people SHOULD be called by their chosen title, regardless of the opinion of others.
Stating the group exists is not commenting on their success. You said not to refer to people as "blacks". The counter point was that they weren't calling a group that and were in fact referring to a group that called itself "Blacks For Trump". You're telling someone to not refer to a group by the name that that group publicly named themselves and clearly wanted to be called.
The thing about that is that Trump is min-maxed to appeal to Assholes. And a lot of black people are more Asshole than black. A lot of gays are more Asshole than gay. And a lot of poors are more Asshole than poor.
When you ask why they vote against their self-interest, it's because they're voting for Asshole reasons, not whatever other demographic they're in. And it turns out there are a LOT of Assholes.
Yeah no shit. When you discuss large data sets, be they populations, global temperatures, whatever, sets., some amount of grouping is necessary. But if you prefer, start listing and asking every individual poc who voted for trump. Your data will certainly be more confident. We will all eagerly await your results.
They wonāt believe it. I already went through this with a Trumper today. Heās saying it was a āstafferā. Thatās the lie they are now pushing and maga eats it up.
In my experience, people are willing to throw anybody and everybody under the bus to pay a little less in taxes. Even if it ultimately against their own self interest
Not saying this is right, but just as a little addendum; there was a time when there was a genuine political motive for this about 30 years ago.
That was around the time the very first wave of black millionaires were set to retire, and there was a belief that to be fair has been proven correct, with wealth comes power and thus the extension from that thinking was if black people want to consolidate power like whites or jews then they need to preserve generational wealth.
You mean just for THE IDEA of paying less in taxes. Rarely do they actually pay less in taxes, and *never* do they actually lower their cost of living. Not ordinary citizens.
Sadly, this is pretty much why my parents (both South Asian immigrants) are Republican. Sure, they're also conservative in other areas, but the main reason is simply that the GQP will tax them less. :(
Voting Republican, they can enjoy paying more in the end for healthcare, bad roads (vehicle maintenance), gas mileage (no govt pressure to move to hybrids), food- and pollution-based illness due to lax standards... not to mention increased prices for whatever monopolies the Dems might actually deign to push back on.
And the taxes still might not be lower because of payouts to rich fucks.
Unlikely, because Democrats are too spineless and willing to follow political trends to get fiscal conservatives to trust them over the GOP. Plus, the party as a whole is absolutely not for "eating the rich"... b/c the leadership and the big donors who the leadership actually listen to ARE the rich. But even setting that aside, the GOP is reliably pro-class-inequality while the Dems are viewed as unreliable allies to the rich (and most anyone else besides their leadership and specific donors).

No I don't but the fact that they would use that is an excuse is further evidence, not that we needed, of just how detached he is from reality.

In my experience, people are willing to throw anybody and everybody under the bus to pay a little less in taxes. Even if it ultimately against their own self interest

Yup America has been raised with the idea that TAXES ARE BAD. it doesn't matter what it used for what the alternative bring but taxes are bad.

Good to know some peopleās āmoralityā can be bought for like $100 in savings (if there even is any savings)

Not saying this is right, but just as a little addendum; there was a time when there was a genuine political motive for this about 30 years ago.
That was around the time the very first wave of black millionaires were set to retire, and there was a belief that to be fair has been proven correct, with wealth comes power and thus the extension from that thinking was if black people want to consolidate power like whites or jews then they need to preserve generational wealth.
As it turned out 1/
FrancsTireur
That didnt work because virtually every black millionaire stopped remembering they were black as soon as they got there. 2

Kinda like saying once you get rich rich, you develop that āfuck you, i got mineā attitude?
jankyupeblik
You mean just for THE IDEA of paying less in taxes. Rarely do they actually pay less in taxes, and *never* do they actually lower their cost of living. Not ordinary citizens.

Also to make sure the bad stuff in The List is redacted for them. Theres a reason all these tycoons and industries are bending the knee to trump

Sadly, this is pretty much why my parents (both South Asian immigrants) are Republican. Sure, they're also conservative in other areas, but the main reason is simply that the GQP will tax them less. :(
MajorasTerribleFate
Voting Republican, they can enjoy paying more in the end for healthcare, bad roads (vehicle maintenance), gas mileage (no govt pressure to move to hybrids), food- and pollution-based illness due to lax standards... not to mention increased prices for whatever monopolies the Dems might actually deign to push back on.
And the taxes still might not be lower because of payouts to rich fucks.

Unlikely, because Democrats are too spineless and willing to follow political trends to get fiscal conservatives to trust them over the GOP. Plus, the party as a whole is absolutely not for "eating the rich"... b/c the leadership and the big donors who the leadership actually listen to ARE the rich. But even setting that aside, the GOP is reliably pro-class-inequality while the Dems are viewed as unreliable allies to the rich (and most anyone else besides their leadership and specific donors).
veedubfreak
"Guess I'll just keep voting for the fascists then.". This is what you sound like
genevra1676
Probably not, because they're still conservative in other areas too, though not full-on MAGA.
rshini
nope, because in the minds of lower-class Republicans, they think they'll be the Rich one day if the taxes get low enough.
genevra1676
My parents are upper middle-class, so the tax thing does benefit them. (Not that this excuses voting for Trump and his cronies.)
