Priming people to generate chaos on election day is on a different level from simply claiming Mexicans are stealing our jobs or whatever. Yes, everyone with an iota of common sense saw this coming, but the level of danger in his messaging has ramped up, and it's important that it gets called out for what it is. He's asking the white supremacists to act on his behalf now.
It's actually part of the idea behind them, same as co-opting the ok gesture and using Pepe. It makes it sound more ridiculous and makes them seem more 'friendly' and ridiculous, to mask the fucking hate and racism that's at their core.
Absolutely how I feel. The biggest obstacle to progress beyond the GOP itself is the naïve Biden-esque idea that the GOP of the last 4 years isn't the real GOP or that deep down the Republican Party is interested in fair politic and deserve continued chances to pretend to be a legitimate political party. The GOP needs to be excised as an opposition party worthy of equal consideration because it's nothing more than an terrorist group interested only in the dismantling of the country & the death & suffering of the American people. It's a criminal enterprise first and foremost which has & will continue to use the rhetoric of politics, legislation & government to pretend otherwise.
It's not zero but it's crazy to say it's plausible. Never thought we'd get here. I'm definitely thinking of picking up another firearm in the event this shit turns stupid.
Trump has already refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses. He will do ANYTHING to stay in power, even if that means attempting to incite civil unrest by having racists pieces of shits like the Proud Boys gunning people down.
As a white person, I can say it seems like white communities are terrified of becoming a "minority" compared to all other nonwhites added up. It's a bizarre funhouse mirror way to view the world, but here we are. I am disgusted by this line of thinking, but it's at least part of the reason whites are so fragile and terrified of anyone with melanin. They perceive the world as one in which they currently hold prominence and to them, losing any cultural prominence is a zero sum game. Losing any ground is essentially admitting defeat.
I doubt
Eh I don't buy that. I'm white and probably at least half hold some level of disdain for minorities. Either through their own biases, ignorance, or being drip fed acceptable stereotypes their entire lives. Don't get me wrong there are plenty that are just outright racist.
Say some stupid shit and retreat when nobody agrees with you. You're an agitator.
As a black man that grew up in America, I'm going to need a source to back this up because in my experience that has not been the case. Many people aren't overtly racist but if you sit and do nothing while racism is happening you support the racism.
Personally I don't like Chris Wallace but I think he knew that Trump would not commit to it and he gave him extra opportunity to correct was like him giving him an extra shovel.
Are there any ideas that white people "flirt with" that you find dangerous?
