The GOP is deeply racist but the Dem Party is not the the bastion of radical Marxists/Socialists they’d like you to think. The sooner the rich grasp that removing sociopathy from capitalism may be the only way to save it, the better off we’ll all be. And they’ll still be (oh-so-slightly less) rich.
I just had a conversation with a MAGA buddy who is starting to find out. I told him the billionaires would run everything. I told him they were a bunch of narcissistic racists. Nobody wanted to listen. Now we have to deal with 4 YEARS of this nonsense. Hopefully we have a country left to fix in 2028
Donald Trump campaigning on a fully anti-immigrant platform, referring to immigrants as poisoning the blood wasn't enough for this guy to realize the GOP is racist to the core... It took Musk and Loomer having a twitter fight.
That last paragraph starting with "if the Republican Party wants to grow, evolve and truly represent a diverse and forward thinking electorate" is absolutely hilarious.
If anyone wants to understand about caste & how similar it is to racism please read the work of a Dalit ( Untouchables who are not even part of Hindu caste system) and Father of Indian Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar: A Liberal Progressive Socialist (I know 🤯) https://guides.library.illinois.edu/c.php?g=532151&p=3668213
What kind of fool thinks the mediocre straight, white, "Christian" people of the MAGA party care about a diverse electorate? They see anyone who isn't 100% European as subhuman.
It's only recently that MAGA leaders have cemented enough power to outright reject some bids for proximity to whiteness.
E.G., if India had something MAGA wanted, they would grant their worst people some proximity to whiteness, to power, which they see as necessary for survival under his rule.
When you wanted to entrepreneur as another provider of a translation app but failed that badly that not even the Indian-located call centers for Microsoft want it.
After Vivek, let’s see how VD defends King Trump’s DOGE and his tech Daddies. With Usha as 2nd Lady - he was a limp d* re:white supremacist MAGA and blasted lies against US Haitians to prove his racist priorities. MAGA’s loyalty is to Trump but will see VD’s personal stake as wrong and weakness.
The rich right has been using the divide & conquer method for years. As long as they can confuse people into thinking someone else is screwing them around you won’t look at them.
“If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.”

Such a shame that despite being that articulate that it was only when his own standing was affected that he was willing to speak out. Really telling about the kind of engineering he cares about. He helped create the monster, now he is shocked to realize he's first on the chopping block. 🪓
‘If the Republican Party truly wants to evolve and grow and represent a truly diverse…” You looked at Trump and expected THAT? What is self-delusion and aggressive denial, Alex?
There is an old SpongeBob episode where he and Patrick are taking care of a baby clam. SpongeBob, exasperated, tries to prove the babies diaper use by showing Patrick mounds and mounds of diapers until he finally gets it. This feels like one of those moments but they won’t get it.
“I was all for the leopards eating other people’s faces, lots of support on that issue, but now I have some questions about those in the party directing the leopards towards me.”
This guy really thought the bigotry was fine against LGBT people and women and black people etc, but wouldn't ever affect his own? All that just to pretend Republican economic policies aren't a fourty five year long disaster already and every time.
He watched the Republican Party attack other communities, endangering some with complete lies.
One thing this era made clear is how many of the rich, powerful people we thought were savvy, smart, and respectable are actually just astonishingly gullible rubes.
Na he’s not black because he’s Indian and has Caucasian type hair and is protected because of that. Meanwhile he is fully aware of 🇮🇳 colonial history.
He's either gaslighting or very stupid. Maga has never hidden their hatred for non-white people. The movement is built on racism and upholding white supremacy and patriarchy. These minorities who suddenly pretend to realize this cannot be helped. They're fools.
All you had to do was look at the behavior of their leader to know what you were going to get. You had four years to observe. He says one thing then does another. It’s called lying. You’ve enabled this disgrace of a man!
Nobody ever brings up the fact that most of the GOP HATES EVs. But yet a guy whose primary source of wealth comes from EVs, is now making policy for the country. Why? Y’all just figuring out?
I know plenty of people like Siddarth. They partake in the opportunities afforded them in this country, then pull the ladder up so others in their community cannot benefit no matter how hard they work. He’s pathetic.
He’s just now realizing this? The man and all his sycophants have been open about their racism and bigotry the whole damn time. Where the fuck has he been?
The sooner Americans figure out that culture wars are manufactured by the wealthy and powerful to divide the public so that they can keep transferring the publics wealth to the wealthy & powerful, the better. Guess the tech engineer hasn't figured that out yet.
“…the party’s failure to unequivocally revoke bigotry”? Sorry, but I don’t buy it. Dude is a sociopath who signed on with other sociopaths for nefarious reasons. None of them have the moral high ground, so they need to quit appealing to the rest of us to save them. Bye now.
the fact he uses the world "evolve" shows his lack of overall intelligence. GOP is MAGA & MAGA is GOP. They want social & societal regression, not progress. Their entire platform was White America First. How do these people delude themselves into thinking "well, they aren't talking about me though."
Wtf would ever have made a person think that the MAGA republican party wants to 'grow, evolve, and represent a diverse and forward thinking electorate"???!!?!?? 🤣
Republican buyer’s remorse?
Seriously?
The GOP has been consistently racist since the 80s.
This putz and his cohorts have inflicted enormous pain onto the nation for the next four years and they want sympathy!
FO, dickwit.
To summarize: The GOP welcomed the extremists who were openly hostile to all marginalized groups that don’t include me, so I was cool with it. Now that it impacts me personally, I’m a sad boy!
He was on the Loomer Spaces call last night and was called upon to talk a few times. He never got to finish a thought and was talked over and shouted down. He'll be fine with the Trump TechBros if he stays with TFG/Elon/Vivik.
Trump doesn't care that they're questioning their vote after he got elected....he said they only had to vote that one time and will never have to vote again....she's right they f'd around now we're all about to find out.
But actually the MAGA-ots hate immigrants, legal or illegal, Indian, Brown, Black, seeking asylum, or anyone Not White who is smarter than they are. They got played at the ballot box but they’ll stay on their knees and find a way to blame anyone but Donald and Elonia
Ummm, is it actually possible he was in such a tiny confirmation-bias bubble that he didn’t hear and see all of the monstrously racist rhetoric before the election???
Who woulda thunk that fans of the guy who overtly ran on his platform that “immigrants are poisoning our country” believe that immigrants are in fact poisoning our country
What rock has he been under? The GOP has always fostered racial animosity. How dense can people be when they’re repeatedly shown just how bigoted the Republican Party has become? The stupidity is astounding.
Everyone over 50 should be aware of this fact because we remember Reagan and how he harnessed the racist backlash of the civil rights movement to kill the middle class in the name of Jesus. The backlash to a black president has been blatantly racist. Maga=billionaire or bigot. That’s the nutshell.
Only for the past 55 years -- before then it was the Democrats who were home to the racists in this nation, though that relationship began to fracture under Truman, who integrated the armed forces in 1948.
How can they be surprised by the behavior, racism and bigotry? Trump was very vocal about it from the Haitians eating your dogs & cats to immigrants being rapist & murders to child separation. They are exactly as they’ve always said and shown to be and you chose that and thought you’d be ok. #FAFO
Fuck 'em! It's not like we haven't spent the last decade warning everyone about *waves arms* all of this! It's their fault for not paying attention/listening. This guy's tired of leading the horses to water, for them to just ignore it.
May everything they voted for happen to them personally.
It just shows how some people can ignore racism that’s not directed at them. He could only see his own merit, but didn’t understand that MAGA wouldn’t.
This dude won’t leave the party because all of the things he rightfully on about have been shamelessly on full display and mainstreamed over in MAGA-GOP-land for well over decade. That it’s suddenly specific to Indian immigrants is why he’s bothered. Fck him.

a movement that enriches billionaires at the expense of working people was never about “individual dignity”.
It was all a lie and you’re one of one liars.
"Leopards Eating My Face Party" living up to its name, I see....
Strange!!
This guy wanted the tax cuts, so he convinced himself that Republicans "champion merit, individual dignity, and opportunity."
Seriously hallucinatory.
--having failed to understand that bigotry IS MAGA and MAGA IS bigotry.
Gtfoh
He's so close. Who wants to tell him?

I'll stop you right there.
1. The pull of power created by proximity to the white
2. The push away from oppression in proximity to the black
This system doesn't only manipulate poor whites but any group which sees benefit in being perceived as more white and less black.
E.G., if India had something MAGA wanted, they would grant their worst people some proximity to whiteness, to power, which they see as necessary for survival under his rule.
Dumbass.

They only whine when THEY are targets, and never see where it's just recycled standard operating procedure of the party that relies on hate and fear.
One thing this era made clear is how many of the rich, powerful people we thought were savvy, smart, and respectable are actually just astonishingly gullible rubes.
Sidharth is an Immigrant.
Vivek is a Citizen.
🍿
Heck, I’m embarrassed for them.
Seriously?

Conservatism defends the status quo. The staus quo is maintaining structural racism in support of white supremacy.
People who align with white supremacists thinking they'll be protected from it are in for a rude awakening.
May everything they voted for happen to them personally.
