I wouldn't expect anything less, these motherfuckers got so bold after Trump was elected it makes me sick. I quit a job back in February because I heard people dropping the N bomb daily.

Hell, these motherfuckers were emboldened by the right during Obama's election. Let's not forget that McCain not being a shitbag to Obama and defending him against his own voters was rather noteworthy.

Also, let's not forget the unrelenting torrent of racism towards the Obama family during his term, and the various anti-trans rhetoric directed at Michelle specifically.

The American right are and have always been racist shitbags. They were just better for a while at hiding what they really mean, but between Obama's election and the rise of trumpler, they've gone nuts (again).

With all due respect, Trump followers being racist isn’t news.

Since you subscribe to the ideology, let me recommend a book:

Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy

By Talia Lavin.

She went undercover online for a year and wrote about fascist nazi white supremacist fucks from the inside. I'd already bought the book after hearing her interviewed on another podcast, but she essentially told Briahna Joy Gray to shove it when she (Brie) wouldn't stop pestering her (Talia) about shit she'd already declared settled in an interview. This was on Bad Faith podcast and walked out. I was so impressed that I grabbed the book off the table and went to a park and started reading immediately. It was excellent.

Punch a nazi was her primary message as she ended the interview.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Wait, you are saying the party that keeps reminding everyone that Lincoln was a Republican, and about the KKK-Democratic connection (like a century ago), and that keeps bleating that the Southern Strategy is just some liberal media myth is RACIST?

My stars!

There is no place in a modern culture for hate-based ideologies like conservatism.

Of course they did. That's the kind of thing degenerates do.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

I would say "stay classy" but that implies they had any class to begin with...

How is this a surprise anymore ?
