" If we want to make fun of disabled people we can do that too".
Pretty sure it was Andrew "Trail of Tears, killed the central bank and caused a Panic/economic stagnation" Jackson. But then again, it's heard to get a straight answer from the clown.
I'm sure they'll have Spencer back on to help make sense of all this...
This is evident everywhere when discussing racism.
Another useless layer to actually having that discussion.
Yeah, this is what I get for trying to remember history in the morning lol
"The Clansman", which D.W. Griffith adapted into The Birth of a Nation. And whose next film was titled Intolerance as an answer to his critics who were intolerant...of his intolerance.
.. What is your point here? I'm not sure what this has to do with the point I'm making. That Trump's racist tweets are intertwined with what's happening with the concentration camps, which the poster I responded to said we should be protesting. While simultaneously arguing we should simply ignore said racist tweets. That makes no sense.
I guess maybe I'm not sure which audience we're talking about here. If we're just talking about rallying the troops including ourselves, then I guess focus on the tweets is fine. But focus on the tweets when trying to convert people we need to convert is not good strategy.
Exposing his racism/bigotry and how it's directly linked to his policy and actions thus far is an effective strategy. Though it's not the only strategy dems should focus on of course. That doesn't mean you're magically going to get Trumpers or republicans though, and I was not arguing that.
I'm not sure why you're arguing that it's a bad strategy.
Man, that is some raw, genuine emotion on display there - tough to watch without tearing up with him. And his thesis is completely valid - I have no idea if Trump's language is intentional, as always, the level of Trump's sophistication is essentially known only to Trump. But it is hugely telling.
Trump is already doing a great job of exposing his racism/xenophobia/bigotry to the public himself on a daily basis.
All we have to do is let him continue to hang himself. That's one of the very reasons why he lost the House in 2018.
Nah man they don't have to do anything since Trump is self impeaching himself or some shit like that.

The President acts racist, talks racist, defends racists, supports racists and hires racists. Wondering if he knows what he is doing is very fruitless exercise.
People havd been denying the realities of racism for so long that they dont know what it actually is when its brazen. Its a major problem.
Was about to write the same. It's like he bought "how to facism for dummies" and went with it. And the worst thing is it is working.
They own that shit when it does happen. They gleefully adopted "deplorable". I remember a 2008 bumper sticker that said "I bitterly cling to my guns and bibles— and I vote!".
Yeah I should clarify: he is a racist. I didn't mean to imply otherwise, and his self awareness (which I think is entirely in tact) is completely irrelevant to the subject at hand. My bad.
He did that once, and they ate him alive. Remember the "They cling to their guns" speech? Still beat their asses twice though,
That statement is nowhere near the realm of what Trump said though. Not even close to the same thing and I think the fact that a few have kind of conflated the situations shows how imbalanced our politics really are.
There is no difference between acting racism vs being racists. The end result is always the same. "Acting racist" is what the majority tell themselves to feel better about letting it fester
100% It's something we should have nipped in the bud centuries ago in this country but instead we've allowed it to fester. It's insane how many supposedly well meaning people aren't willing to call a bigot a bigot solely because of "intent".
Yeah, I'm glad they went in and murked this fuck. This is what everyone needs to start doing. Drawing the line in the sand. Either for or against.
Trump is just repeating what he's hearing on white supremacist Tucker Carlson's show. San Francisco and other immigrant/sanctuary cities are dirty, disgusting cities where disease infested people piss in the streets, etc., and the reason they're this way is because we let in too many
(Clasps pearls at the mere thought of having to draw a line over fascism/racism)
But my family dinners!!!
Trump targeted the Mayor of London after a terror attack, just because of his second name, he went after 4 women of colour and said they should go back, as if they're not American due to thier race, and he's now targeting a city with majority of non-whites as an "infestation", this is the same type of language and tactics used by past tyrants to portray fellow citizens as the enemy, and thier colour and culture as being incompatible to his pure idea of his nation, its not even subtle, he's a racist and endorses it amongst his followers.
To be fair he probably wets himself during the normal course of his day.

Don't really need more info to figure out that the president is online trying to get people murdered again

Trump: don't play the race card liberals!
Trump literally one day later: Sharpton hates whites and cops.

"I've been friends with Al for 25 years, he hates white people!"
How can he hate white people if he's been your friend for 25 years? 🤔🤔

Meh, I don't think there's any 'next'. He'll just instantaneously and ferociously attack whichever non-white skins person who 'dares' to call him out or criticize him. Like in this case he attacks Cummings and his district because of the Mueller hearing. Last year there was Puerto Rico and its Mayor, etc, etc.
Just last week he attacked four congresswomen of many heritages.
Mexicans seemed 'first' because of his fucking wall campaign objective.
This is just a very hateful racist old man who can only intake praise and compliments, anything else and you're downright scum.
