This is like the Boomer version of “I can’t be racist because I listen to rap.”

The same loser who sent hate mail to our support account after the RNC used that name - and his slave name in Roots - as epithets to try and denigrate us in a message chain titled “plantation.”

(Incidentally, these cowards should realize that there is NO expectation of privacy when you email someone hate speech, and I would be fully within my rights to publish such messages with their names and email addresses in clear view if they really want to be about that "free speech" life. )


Bigots have always been able to compartmentalize between the masses they define by stereotype and the individuals they to some degree hold exempt. (“Some of my best friends are _____!”)

This is the Faustian bargain of minority conservativism: absolve cishet White Christian men of any sense of guilt associated with their status in an identity-based hierarchy rooted in violent oppression (take the "America is not a racist country" loyalty oath) and validate their negative stereotypes ("Pick me! I'm not like those others, I hate them as much as you do") in exchange for personal exemption from those stereotypes.

It's possible to be cast in this role without knowledge or consent through familiarity, to be treated as "one of the good ones" until you threaten someone's sense of innocence, like Colin Kaepernick. Omarosa Manigault Newman wasn't a "DEI" hire at the Trump White House until she "bit the hand that fed her." At that point, you go right back to being "one of them."



Vice President Harris has more government experience than Vance and Trump combined. Trump had no government experience prior to 2017. Before that, he was hosting a game show, peddling steaks, and generally squandering his vast inheritance. His administration was rife with nepotism hires: in-laws, family members, donors, and people he saw on TV.

We all know what this is really about.

In terms of transparency, it's less of a "dog whistle" than a "dog ate my homework."

twitter already skews heavily to the right but his pandering to the crypto community has these fools falling all over themselves.

For his sake I was hoping this was AI. B E T A!

We found the DEI candidate.

Opus DEI that is!

They should just be brave and say it. We can all help them

Weird way to defend your lady.

Map does not include boycotts, most famously the United States boycotting the 1980 Moscow Olympics and the Soviets boycotting the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. But, many other countries boycotted those Olympics but don't get mentioned. There have been other Olympic boycotts as well.

The UFC fanbase has swung hard to the right in the last decade.

 

[Mark Antony]

One of the stranger things. Seemingly intentional by Dana White.

 

[Public Enemy]

....when you see it

"ST CLOUD, MINNESOTA - JULY 27: Republican candidate for Senate Royce White (L) greets attendees before a rally featuring U.S. Republican Presidential nominee former President Donald Trump and Republican vice presidential nominee U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on July 27, 2024 in St Cloud, Minnesota."

Royce White defending his use of campaign funds to go to a strip club was comedy. Dude is not a serious person.

 

[Wargames]

 

[p0tat0 5alad]

Strippers vote too

 

[elpablo21]

And there's goofballs out there who have no issues with this as long as it's not Kamala the Cop in the Oval Office

 

[Nike Jordan]

YEAH, BOYEEEEEE!

 

[dmbrhs]

Seattle tried this, involving the Feds to investigate and clean up the force. It failed spectacularly. Trump is basically going to unleash jack-booted thugs to wreck major blue cities who didn't vote for him.

Trump is basically going to unleash jack-booted thugs to wreck major blue cities who didn't vote for him.

... again. We still remember the terrorism his DHS and ICE inflicted on our city during the protests following George Floyd's murder.

Imagine it’s summer 2028, President Kamala Harris is in Los Angeles. With her are two former governors: award winning actor and RINO, Arnold Schwarzenegger; and current Vibes Czar Gavin Newsome. Her and the luminaries of Hollywood and West Coast Hip Hop, along with an all queer orchestra from Hollywood, and a Mariachi band from Boyle Heights, put on an opening ceremony for the ages. LeBron James will be the torch lighter.

After the show, ticket holders and foreign dignitaries alike will be treated to bacon wrapped hotdogs cooked by a group of street vendors, not a word of English is spoken and no one making the distinction between who is a citizen or a lawful resident and who’s an “illegal.”

We’ll all, in real time, consider this scene historical, amazing, surreal. But posterity will, clinically, call that day, in the Summer Of 2028, “The Great MAGA Boomer Die Off.”

Make My Hairline Great Again.. buddy would be better served investing that campaign donation in HIMS. white is gonna get washed by klobuchar

Most polls end up having a decent lean to the right not really the fault of polls, it’s just the nature of them that skew right.

But outside of Mark Kelly being the VP, or a disaster debate. This thing will only trudge forward in 1 direction.
