      This guy’s wife had to declare that she doesn’t eat with her hands because her husband is so racist.

      There is nothing wrong with living in a rural area or being a blue collar worker. The last sentence there is unnecessary.

      As someone who has been in both those demographics, this guy doesn’t represent me or the hardworking albeit sometimes simple people I grew up around.

      Please don’t use those words as a cudgel. It drives those undereducated and uninvolved people to identify more with this asshole than the progressives that have more in common with them beneath the surface.

        So you’re not even acknowledging the full fledged racism that is the topic in this little whataboutism speech you put together there?

        Nothing about the racism. Not one word to nod to the overarching story here.

        So which part of you missed that? The rural part?

        US is currently burning wheat farms cuz the world has shifted off of cheap wheat for something more stable.

        And the world knows which ones are the red states and are boycotting.

        So You have two choices: take it personally or acknowledge a consequence of ignoring racism and self interest replacing it with apathy and revenge. Just know this: Neither will make a difference in the long run. You’re still headed to the same destination. So even now with at this point you’re begging to ignore it. Noted.

        You’re just echoing the overall problem here by not even acknowledging the topic.

        It drives those undereducated and uninvolved people to identify more with this asshole

        Don’t even pretend you were ever an ally.

          When Trump fucks up do you call him a fatty?

          When a black judge says women belong in the kitchen do you say “go back to the plantation!”

          A woman supports Trump. “Shut up cumdumpster, go make me sandwich if you want to be trad”

          That guy brought up something said HERE ON THIS WEBSITE. Someone HERE threw out redneck for living in the sticks. You’re fucking dumb if you think people need to write an essay on what they think of a topic before they can point out issues in discourse.

          See that? I don’t need to prove anything to call you out. I don’t need to call out racism to call out dumb posts.

          Before you reply, make sure to write an essay about why it’s ok to insult unrelated groups of people in order to hurt an individual. At least follow your own weird rules.

          So your plan to have him removed from power is what?

          Genuine question since you don’t seem to want to win elections.

          Obviously he’s a cunt, so winning against him should be a cakewalk then.

        “Go back to the third world”

        “Go back to your recheck farm”

        so only then it got offensive for you.

          Only one of those things was said here on this site, in this thread, by a lemming that we can directly criticize.

          Shouldn’t the space we occupy and the people we are immediately surrounded with be put above performative anger at external topics?

          The politician said terrible things. Posting about it only goes so far.

          A lemming said bad things. We can affect that.
