The “Squad”

[wickedsolo]

You bring up an interesting point. One of the supposed pieces of evidence of Trump's racism in that article was how he addressed African American voters (paraphrasing) "you voted Democrat for 50 years and have crime, killings, crumbling schools, no jobs - what the hell do you have to lose?" Well, everything he said there is true. And if you listen to any of these Democrats talk, you will hear only of what they need to do for illegals. And there was recently an article posted somewhere about how they were going to primary members of the Black Caucus. The Dems have always just relied on the black vote. It seems a lot in the community have begun to shift course. Recently here in MD when it came time to vote for a new Speaker of the House, the Black Caucus (or the MD equivalent) joined forces with Republicans to make sure the Democratic chosen one was not just bulldozed through. And they were firmly rebuked for even thinking of working with Republicans. But it worked. AA unemployment is at historical lows right now. Maybe this is a sign of things to come. I have not heard a thing from Dems to gain favor with the AA community, other than fear mongering of "dog whistles". Maybe they are still taking it for granted, or maybe they feel it's not important now that they've got a larger Latino populace.

I definitely think that’s what is happening.

Hispanic/illegal immigrant votes are the new Black Democrat. That’s why they’re gunning so hard for open borders.

Bingo!

Getting back into POWER is the endgame here. Fuck the country's prosperity. They want to gain power and NEVER have another "Trump situation" happen again.

Import millions of poor people to vote and promise them FREE American taxpayer subsidized EVERYTHING and it'll happen.

Imagine being a dirt-poor farmer in Central America and you get wind of what the Democrats are proposing. You bet your ass I'll walk through jungles, deserts, canyons, and "hellfire and brimstone" (said in JR voice) to sneak into America illegally and work for peanuts just to be given a college education, a drivers license, and a healthcare plan that other people are paying for.

The Democrats keep doing it, and they won't stop because it's effective. Republicans are terrified of this happening to them because it'll hurt their chances to be re-elected...which is really what the game is really about. They can't afford to criticize idiots like "the Squad" because they don't want to be called _____ist because it'll hurt their re-election efforts. So, you cowtow...you apologize...you do whatever you can to minimize the attack.

Going back to the 2016 election, I did not want Trump to win the Republican nomination. But I did like that he wasn't afraid of backlash and brought up issues that people were concerned about. He did not fear the political correctness crowd. What I had hoped for back then was that he could take his extreme position and say thing bluntly so that the door was open for the other candidates to discuss the issue in a less heated manner. "I don't agree with what Donald says, but we do need to talk about immigration and the border and here is my plan...." But none of them took that opportunity because they had no balls. None of them would have gone so aggressively at Hillary and called out her crooked ways. Because that would have been "sexist". And they would have lost the election.

Please stop... you're embarrassing yourself.

What's racist about believing someone committed a crime? I believe OJ killed Nicole and Ron Goldman, I guess I should just go put my white hood on?

Correct.

However, they are fighting back now though.

In this age of Trump...politicians like Ron DeSantis, Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Ben Sasse, Devin Nunes, Ted Cruz and even the 2.0 version of Lindsey Graham are fighting back with testicular fortitude.

It's the only way to combat these radical clowns. Charges of ______ism aren't working anymore.

What are you talking about that will be "spinned"?

The bar is set and defined pretty much at this: do you feel that people, based on purely their ethnicity or gender, exhibit general personality similarities that can be cast in a negative light. If his comments were, “Latinos can all go back to where they came from because they’re jerks”. That’s racist. Saying, “These specific individuals are jerks...” not racist. It’s very very easy.

He was accused of anti-black bias for the first time in 1973. Maybe if that was a one-off you could say maybe it was just a coincidence or he learned his lesson since then. But the pattern keeps repeating itself over, and over, and over again. Each time with a new excuse from Trump and his fans. How many times does a guy have to be accused before it starts to stick?

Defending Neo Nazis as very fine people didn't ring any alarm bells for you? Ordering black employees off the floor of his casino doesn't fit your idea of racism? What about saying he doesn't want black guys counting his money? How about the time he called Obama "a Muslim" and accused him of being the founder of ISIS? Why would he use the word Muslim as an insult? The birther movement was based on a lie in order to smear the country's first black president, simply because he happened to have African ancestors. Why would he compare Syrian refugees to venomous snakes, and attempt to ban all Muslims from entering the United States? Isn't that the definition of racism, painting a quarter of the world's population as potential terrorists? And how about that time he called an American born Hispanic judge "a Mexican" and suggested that he couldn't do his job properly as a result?

The information is out there if you want to look at it. Based on the example you provided above, you seem to have some idea of what racism is. Whether or not you care about Trump being one is up to you, but you don't get to rewrite history just because you happen to root for a certain politician. My point isn't to attack you or suggest that you're a racist because you like Trump. I just don't understand why people won't even consider that there's a strong possibility that Trump is racist.

When it comes with proof, maybe?

What the actual fuck? How in the world would you know that's Trumps intent? That seems like it's your interpretation, which would make your interpretation racist, which makes you the racist.

It's your claim, you post it. I asked for it earlier so we can all be on the same page, but you haven't provided it.

And that aside, how does that make THIS racist?

It's not that there isn't a possibility. But when snippets and half truths are included as evidence, it calls into question the other things. "Very fine people on both sides" referred to people who were there to peacefully protest removing statues, not neo-Nazis. The co-founder of ISIS was clearly hyperbole critical of what Obama and Hillary did in the middle east. He attempted to halt admission from 7 countries that represent 8% of the muslim population and are considered national security risks.
