    doesnt really matter, he trafficked, tortured, and raped hundreds, if not thousands of women and children during his lifetime.

    and may have also commited cannabilism, it seems.

    Now just imagine if Biden posted this. Now just imagine if Biden was having ice kidnap people off the streets. Now imagine if Biden was in the Epstein files.

      I don’t… What? If Biden posted this they’d call it based, racism is literally one of the right’s only actual principles. And Biden did have Ice kidnap people off the streets, he just didn’t give them mea culpa to execute people or celebrate the cruelty.

      They WOULD tear into him for being in the Epstein files, though.

        If Biden did just one thing Trump has done in just the last year they would be calling for his resignation and execution.

        IDK, they would probably have no problem pretending to not be racist for 5 seconds as long as it hurt someone they didn’t like

    I remember seeing Obama sworn in on the break room TV at work. People still didn’t say the quiet part out loud back then, but you could tell they were fucking seething about him getting elected.

    “Look how smug he is.” “She’s ugly.” “Just a disgrace.” “I bet they’re all happy now.”

    The people who would go on to become the MAGA of today, as well as Trump and so many others, will never let Obama’s victory go. They’ll never forgive him for being black, successful, and worst of all, more popular than they are.

    Even if Obama disappeared from the public consciousness today, or it was discovered that he’s committed some horrible crime and he goes to jail, they’d still feel that his getting elected was an unforgivable insult towards them on a personal level.

    That’s the kind of mentality we’re dealing with.

      His election complete broke the minds of a lot of people. We’re in the situation we’re in in part (most of this started long long ago) because their hate finally boiled over.

        I think it stole a sense of security from them. It’s like they assumed that because MLK day was a bank holiday no one needed to be upset about anything anymore, we could keep electing old white guys until the sun burns out, and no one would ever think they’re the bad guys for maintaining the status quo.

    Everyone who would have posted something racist and vile like this just 2 years ago would have been expelled from school or college or lost their job.

    This is absolutely insane.

    Also this guy is a pedofile and rapist without any morals.

    And yet when someone portrays trump as a small dicked wannabe simpleton, they get angry. I don’t control what’s on the news!

    And in 3,. 2,. 1,. we will all watch Mike Johnson avoiding a press scrum saying “he hasn’t seen this” and “I don’t know anything about it”.

      Trump saying the N-word is so expected that it would barely make a ripple. He obviously shit himself on camera the other day, and it barely made the Internet.

      In this case I think it’s distraction.

      It’s amazing how easy it was to subvert all checks and balances and criticisms by just always having a few more awful things ready to go.

      Video showing your paramilitary murdering citizens, boom release some Epstein files

      Credible evidence that you are a pedophile, boom racist meme

      People upset about racism, boom attack trans kids or something.

      As long as there are a couple outrage plates spinning he can always just wander over to another one if people start getting too upset.
