"The liberals kept telling me he was a racist and a fascist, but they obviously weren't trying hard enough. So I have no choice but to keep voting for the fascistic racists since I can't trust the liberals to inform me correctly." - centrists
Nancy Reagan, same for Ronnie's health issues. And every conservative choad whose mistress got inconveniently pregnant and rationalizes buying her an abortion yet votes against women's right to healthcare.
"I look out for #1 and f every one else" I've heard that before. Such a small, grey toned, dependent world. In that world I can see how they would rally around the same old marching orders.
Dear Ms E
little surprised to see you boosting pitchbot which to me is the left eqivalent of Steve Bannon; pitchbot is supposed to be a joke but its continuous acid sarcasm does what Bannon wants:
it makes you distrust everything
And of course the picture she uses as the headline image is of her at the modern slavery temple. Just like Trump, the temple was able to delay the proceedings long enough that politicians will be able to make the case go away. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/21/nyregion/nj-hindu-temple.html
I’m just being facetious like Jeff Lebowski when he was shown the Log Jammin film clip by Maude with Bunny answering the door to the cable repairman. Maude asks, what do you think he does next with Bunny? The Dude answers, “fixes her cable?”
Well you rationalised it until you realised that you are the minority and it’s no longer attacks aimed at the Latino or black. How could you not realise Trump is racist. He dad was an elder of the KKK. What wrong with your brain, are you that dense ?
Stop saying "liberals" like they are tin foil kooks who happened to get one right. Anyone with any sense of moral direction told you that. This isn't left vs right. This is common decency
MAGA, you knew who you were dealing with when you voted for Trump, but you were blinded with anticipation of owning the libs, before you realized that you're the ones that got owned.
All racial groups are racist to other groups, they thought just because there racism overlapped with MAGA they were in the same camp. Reader, they were not
I feel there are two main reasons some Indian Americans vote against their own interest for Republicans - hatred for Pakistan and hatred for liberals. They forget hatred based on religion and race goes hand in hand, and they also forget it was liberals that helped pass the INA 1965 Act.
I’m the same. I’m close to the point of calling my R senator and advocating for eliminating SS/Med and Dept Ed. My purple state will be fine, and blue states will thrive. I want the red sates to experience pain.
There's lots of Democrats, queer people, Black people, etc. in red states. Even South Carolina consistently votes 40-45% blue. Please don't punish or forsake us.
You're not alone. I simply don't give a fuck about them. They showed their true face and I just simply don't trust them enough to give them a second chance.
Well when they keep getting called racist shit, idk, guess they'll still just stay where they were. If they aren't learning from their mistakes are they even going to join along anyways?
They need to work on making amends for their own fuckups. And we need to see evidence of it. Otherwise, the world is just better off if they never vote again.
Occasionally I still think of the time, about a month into the first Trump presidency, that a white man gunned down two south asian men in public while shouting "Get out of MY country!" because he overheard them speaking their own native language to each other. Guess I'm the only one.
I remember my dad complaining once about people not speaking, and I quote “American in America.” I told him that when he had mastered his native tongue, he could complain about other people not speaking English as a second language. That shut him up.
What a profoundly ignorant family! Daughter is worried about magats' evident "ugly part", that is their hate for all and not just /some/ immigrants, but she didn't want to break her trump-loving dad's pride by telling him about it.
Then there's this closing, poignant gem: "How do you tell someone the country they’ve loved for 50 years is harbouring a growing faction that wishes he’d never come?"
Answer... to their face, so they don't screw up the country for future generations.
I knew Trump was racist since 2015, worse he feels he was born to be king, racehorse theory, and now thanks to SCOTUS, he will get his wish. Hopefully with the narrow margins in Congress, they can prevent the worst from happening anytime soon.
Them, and the hedge funds and banks and equity funds and whatever other financial piranhas who owns not only the health insurance companies, but also hospitals and clinics and medical practices who are only there for the money.
Brown MAGAs like Sampath are an eternal oddity. It appears they truly believe that if they echo enough White grievances AND prodigiously rub shoulders with enough White nationalists, their inner White would surely shine through the brown & they’d be welcomed with open arms into the White conclave. 🤦🏽♂️
I personally know tons of sanghis who looked upon Trump as their savior. Their shared islamophobia and hatred/bigotry (even anti-trans) shone brightest . Was super sad just to see that happening
Racial (and class) apartheid is the same design everywhere. Call it whatever you like. Whiteness undeservedly pillages it's way to the "top" of the imagined social order and ppl are conditioned to approximate it, to cuddle up to it like a moth to a flame, usually against their own interests.
Yep! They're also really good at circular justifications. "Look how (those people) live, they clearly don't deserve any better treatment" when of course the bigotry is the reason for the disparities. It was an eye opener the first time I saw caste-enthusiasts using the same scripts racists use.
The Brown MAGAs are an oddity to me, because I am brown & grew up seeped in that culture.
“Collaboration” has the connotation of proactive participation. What I’m referring to is more passive, organic, banking on deep-rooted exclusionary sentiments that are, historically, pre-colonization.
Yup, despite hundreds of years of colonialism repeatedly showing them that they’ll never be part of the club. But most don’t think about history. It doesn’t go beyond “he hates Muslims and will give tax cuts! I’m in!”
That apart, there’s also a significant component of anti-Black racism that motivates Brown MAGAs to gravitate towards GOP & Trump, who have between them made vile hatefulness & bigotry acceptable again. I’ve sadly witnessed this amongst some of my peers.
It’s not even that they didn’t care. These people liked Trump *because he is bigoted against blacks, Hispanics and Muslims. They deserve getting fucked over just as much as they wanted other minorities to get fucked over.
This is why I cannot talk to my Modi-pilled father about politics. He's drunk the kool-aid and there's no way he'll see reason until something like this directly impacts him and even then, I'm sure he'd find ways to still blame Muslims or some other group he perceives has more than him.
Same here. 💔 My now Modi-pilled, Fox-pilled father raised his three GenX sons in the 80's-90's to be flaming liberals who married flaming liberals who have a flaming liberal kid.
Thanks for sharing. I feel sympathy for the victims of Hindu nationalism I have witnessed: Sikhs, “love jihadists.” My father, a successful person, bears such intense animosity toward Blacks essentially for perceived ingratitude. Amazing how resentment can be based on imaginary harms.
My sympathies. It’s kind of crazy to say this, but I feel a little bit lucky. I miss my mom and dad, but I’m also very glad I’m not going through this with them.
We live in the same home, my wife and I take care of my parents but I've made it VERY VERY clear that any talk of politics and I nope myself out. I just get up and walk into another room or go to the washroom or something else.
Analysis | Is Donald Trump racist? We asked three 18-year-old fraternity brothers wearing "Don't Trad On Me" shirts outside a crypto conference featuring guest speaker Dave Portnoy.
These fucking trump supporting immigrants think they are immune from him. They will find out soon enough how much he appreciates them. And it will serve them right
Can be true. Most people are racist against at least one race if you drill down enough. Even liberals. The far right are unusual in that they tend to be racist against literally everyone who isn't them, and in some cases, their own race too.
Absolutely. I’m a very pasty person. Growing up in conservative West Michigan, I was ceaselessly mocked by strangers (and my Republican sister) for not having a tan. There’s a very narrow range of acceptable skin tone, apparently.
Very possibly. They’re such a twisted and bizarre lot. The ones that drive me the most crazy are the socially liberal-fiscally conservative types, especially now. No one loves paying taxes, but if you think Republicans are good for the economy, you have not been paying attention.
Yup, there's truth to this. In part because English==good, Celtic fringe==bad, because they were economic refugees just like Haitians, Central Americans, etc, at the start. Germans were disliked for a time too, but they look like English bc Eng have a lot of Ger blood in the first place.
I recall reading that some Founding Fathers were not pleased with eastern Europeans migrating to the States. It's so bizarre. Did they really think the country would only comprise disgruntled English and Frenchmen?
Yusef Salaam in NYC is gonna be harassed by Don the Con with the full power of the US government all because he had the audacity to not be guilty of the crime Donald Trump wanted to execute him for.

yeah, it’s a new development.
But I wouldn't piss on a trump voter if they were on fire.
Where I come from we believe that you deserve the consequences of your choice.
It's just unfortunate that the consequences could be devastating.

Does she even apologize to us for being wrong?
FFS!

I hope your eggs are cheaper.
This is not our conversation to have because we can't do it without our own racism seeping through.
He is an idiot. THESE assholes have killed the practice of medicine. It was capitalism all along....

You shat your bed, now lay in it.
This has been common knowledge since his father’s history was disclosed & as we all watched Donald’s actions as he took over his father’s business.
Anyone who didn’t know by 2015 - was wearing blinders for 50+ years.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your folks.
