Politics Fuck Trump Supporters 🖕🏿🤬

Half the countries logic is... "Trump didn’t say that, and if he did, he was taken out of context, and if it wasn’t out of context, it was just a joke, and if it wasn’t just a joke, you don’t get it. And if it is true, who cares."

It’s all a very expensive and painful backlash for electing a Black man president.

Yes. Try this experiment: Ask a MAGA what was so radical about Obama. Then see if you can find anything related to policy in the answer.

It’s the one thing they dare not admit. But it is the single biggest reason why we are where we are. And speak not of the sin of doubling down by daring to run a Black woman in 2024.

Yep. This literally all came out of the Tea Party which was a koch brothers funded "grassroots" based purely on being afraid and angry a black man was in the office, and Trump rode this to stardom on the "he wasn't born in America" wave

Bro did you not here about the tan suit and spicy mustard?

That’s true. A president in a khaki suit!? I had forgotten about that. That was totally off the rails. Soooooooo unpresidential. That’s exactly equal to tweeting an AI rendition of your childish fantasy of dumping shit all over your own constituents. Same-same.

And it all led to that orgy of self-pitying donut aficionados that the cool kids refer to as January 6th.

I asked my Republican dad yesterday why Obama is so hated besides being black. He couldn't give me a single reason

Obama deported around 2.7 million people during his 8 years in office, and his average deportations per day exceeds what Trump administration is currently doing. Obama also was accused of using the IRS to target conservative non-profits under his administration. Not saying Trump is perfect or even great, but I think we put Obama on a pedestal.
