They voted for a fascist which is even worse.

They prefer actual fascism to potential socialism*.

*"socialism" as defined by Fox News and right-wing propaganda

Huh, that's interesting since I didn't see a white supremawhatever on the ballot.

Is that the defense you're going with? This your final answer?

I'm actually not sure he is a white supremacist, as much as I just think he found the easiest crowd to manipulate.

Human rights? Civil Rights? Fuck man when did we start defending those again? Last I heard that shit was moved in the 60s and left to rot. It's the new age with eroding our rights. 3 Presidents have come and gone(well almost gone) and we still have the Patriot act.

Reminds me of Gillum's comment to DeSantis: "I'm not saying he's a racist, but the racists think he's a racist."

If he were, then he would've been laughed off at the podium.

He has yet to so much as acknowledge that he was wrong about the Central Park 5, let alone apologize for his racist remarks towards them.

That's all you really need to know. Trump's always been a white supremacist and a fascist.

That's sort of true, but it muddles the fact that there are a lot of tunnel vision single-issue voters who think the one issue they care about is so important that they're willing to overlook everything else.

This is the type of reasoning used to hide overt racism.
Do not fall for this nonsense.
Trump made it abundantly clear that he supports white supremacy. He did so for 4 years, so when you see folks who are poor and uneducated, voting for him, its because of racism.

There was also the obama birth certificate thing, I wonder if he's going to start asking for Kamala's birth certificate in a couple of months?

How was he racist?

Apparently him wanting to Make America Great Again is such a racist, spooky connotation.

Why do you people still respond to these Trumper clowns

VTBM posted...

How was he racist?

i'll start with a simple one. He started his campaign with calling mexicans rapists and calling for a muslim ban.

That's it tho. He's said a few very racist things, like people tend to do... actually, thinking back, I'd say he IS a racist, but not to the level people big him up to me. He's not the God of racism. He's just the God to racists. But most the time he just leaves stuff up for interpretation so that racists can fill in the blanks with what they want. I don't think he's focused enough to be as big of a racists as people big him up to be. He doesn't have the pull through. That's what his base is for. They project the pull through, because they're more focused. He just feeds them treats for doing it.

That too is another way of phrasing "STFU", I guess. Still not a valid response. So, no.. I don't think I will.

Anyone who asks how trump is racist is just trying to jerk you around, fyi

Vicious_Dios is against gay marriage and rights and people are surprised he's trolling here?

Fuck off with that shit. Tag and move on.

Actually, I take that back. There was an ACTUAL confirmed racist on the ballot... and IT 'won'.

That's a very unintelligent perspective.

Anyway, yeah, it's probably true that he isn't actually a white supremacist, just that white supremacists feel he is one of them and support him for that reason.

What was so fucked up about that is, at the time when he said it, he thought they were an actual white supremacist group.

---

Yes a lot of Americans are stupid and racist is this really surprising?

---

I hate Trump as much as the next person, but there are other issues. I'm not saying they're all valid reasons, but I refuse to believe we saw "I voted for Trump 'cause I'm a racist shithead" times 70 million.

Probably only 20 million of those people are actively racist shitheads.

<_<

it definitely was not pushback against the disastrous consequences of global capitalism for working class labor

Coming from a guy who's making fun of a disorder in his sig. Man, shut the fuck up in here with that nonsense.

@Shablagoo What was the context for that?

@Shablagoo What was the context for that?

I forget exactly how it was phrased but basically the question was raised whether someone would rather be effeminate or racist.

---

GATTJT posted...

What was the context for that?

Meme pic where it goes something along the lines:

2 types of pc gamers (or something)
This left side was a room decorated with lamey cringefuck anime shit filled with lolis and God knows. While the other right half was a gaming room setup in a black and blue color scheme.

bottom left half was labeled 'Weebs', the other 'Racist'.

The choice was simple.

Remember when you were a kid, and you'd your finger an inch away from your sibling's face, and when they rightfully got annoyed by this, you'd say "I'm not touching you?"

There are a decent amount of public figures who, recognizing that being an open and avowed racist in the style of Strom Thurmond is not currently accepted by the broader public, effectively play this same game. They know what words not to utter, what lines not to cross to avoid closing that inch of space between themselves and clear bigotry. When called upon this, they've provided enough plausible deniability to give people a way to say "show me proof" or "the left thinks everything is racist." Oftentimes they end up slipping, and the right has to excuse away their feigned inability to see what everybody else had recognized for years.

This is what Trump has done, but it's also the Southern Strategy, the Proud Boys, Milo, so on and so forth.

---

remember when trump called a bunch of countries with a certain ethnic population for shitholes?

---

Remember when Trump said that Jews don't vote for him because he won't take their money?

Remember when Trump accused a latino judge of ruling against him because he was Mexican?

This feels pertinent to the discussion

Joe Biden was very close associates with like this and worked with them to construct the system of mass incarceration. Including Strom Thurmond himself (1986 Comprehensive Crime Control Act)

So a lot of people stood out this election because both sides were shown to be working for the cause of white supremacy

And said he prefers immigrants from places like Norway, that's 99% white.

Remember when his reaction to 9/11 was that he now had the tallest building in NYC?

Wait, not racist, carry on

Spending years baselessly claiming that the sitting president was born in Kenya and ineligible for the presidency was pretty racist.

Fox News panders to racists for decades and then literally is surprised when people are racist.

Yeah, he gave the eulogy at Thurmond's funeral
