This Uncle Tom, Steven Candie, house n***** is a first degree motherf*cker
When he dies. I’m shitting on his grave. Once a month.
I’m gonna open up a taco bell next to the cemetery…
I’ll be your best customer.
I like the David Chappelle character that didn’t know he was black.
Clayton Biggsby didn’t harm as many people.

This dude is protected by the Zionist war machine. They would never let their puppet falter.

His early career arc is kind of bonkers. He was one of only a small handful of black law students at Yale, and graduated with honors. But he had trouble finding a job after graduation, because the racist mid-70’s law partners thought he only got his law degree because of affirmative action. He ended up blaming Yale for giving him a worthless degree, when he wouldn’t have gotten into Yale at all, no matter how talented he was, if it weren’t for affirmative action.
If he had blamed the systemic racism in the profession instead, we might have had a very different Clarence Thomas.
Bro is a failed Catholic priest candidate. His entire life is trying to uphold the systems of oppression, it is maddening.
The “fuck you I got mine” mentality which drives every conservative.
Every single value they claim to support is a hollow lie that exists for their own enrichment and power, and it’s so starkly plain from every single policy they push when they have power I can’t fathom how people don’t see it. I especially cannot believe that even now we have people who cannot see it.
I feel like I’m in a world where 90% of people can’t read and have never watched the news sometimes, because it’s that blatantly obvious to me.
…have never watched the news
People who get their information from watching the news on TV are probably worse than people who don’t get information at all.
People are going to shout that it’s Fox News that’s the problem, but the reality is all of the major sources of TV news are owned by billionaires. You’re just choosing what style boot you want on your neck.
Unfortunately, to be informed and intelligent requires a small ability to rationally evaluate information. It’s not always difficult to determine the truth, but most people can’t or won’t try.
You have to realize that by the very nature of being on Lemmy, you’re vastly more informed than the average voter.
If the only news you consume is from Fox, you wouldn’t be able to see all that stuff.
On election day there were people googling whether Biden was running. The average reading level is 4-6th grade. Most people get their “news” from social media…
To your first point, there was a story about the alarming number of searches for “did Biden drop out” but it didn’t mention that this would have included searches like “when did Biden drop out” and “why did Biden drop out.” So it was a half true and half clickbait.
Regardless of exact phrasing it shows how disconnected those people feel they are from politics. Biden dropping and Kamala coming in was months before election day there was plenty of reporting across networks about it.
What an interesting misuse of semantics for cope purposes
He really wants to tickle that dragon’s tail, huh?
Americans need to grow a spine and some balls. It’s pathetic how the entire country has rolled over and given up.

American policies in the region are a big part of why Lebanon has issues. We at least don’t pretend to be other than we are. America has become a laughing stock. Good luck in gulag.

I grew up in England thanks to a civil war, I’ve been to the US numerous times and have family who are American. I know very well your culture. And yes I will always blame European and American foreign policies for a lot of the world’s issues because that’s the truth, like it or not.
America isn’t a friendly nation to a lot of the world .

Fair is fair and you’re right. I am posting defeatist and judgemental comments, and it’s mainly out of extreme frustration. My cousins are freaking out and while I am closely following all the insane news about what’s going on internally, I can’t help feeling regular people aren’t doing enough to shut this down. Like there should be a general strike and cripple these billionaires!.
I guess you look at Europe and how they regularly shut shit down.(France as usual and lately the student protests in various European cities).
The issue with me is whatever government you lot have is going to have a major effect on the rest of the world, and this Trump government is a disgrace.
Fight the good fight and good luck. I will target Maga anywhere I see them.

“Home of the brave”.
Maybe it was at one point. Maybe it will be again.
They fought Nazis and imperial Japanese soldiers in Europe and the Pacific, now they’re defending Nazis and pedos and building camps.
Yeah, although it took them a couple years to even do that. I keep wondering what their “Pearl Harbor” will be that finally gets them to take action.
I think that time has come and gone. I hope I’m wrong.
Pearl Harbor happened because America, and FDR, cared just enough about Japan’s invasion of China to embargo them. That’s simply not going to happen with Trump.
A better source of historical comparison are rebellions and revolutions, in which case the cause is either people going hungry or Trump fucking with his own power base.
the cause is either people going hungry
Lot of empty fields out there with food that isn’t getting picked right now. This may be closer than we think.
It’s been six months. How long did it take in Germany? We have at least until World War o’clock.
True true, just don’t cut it short! It’s 5 to!
Clarence thinks he should only count as 3/5ths of a person in the census. He doesn’t even get mad when Trammel Crow calls him boy.
The mental gymnastic to be a Black person and imploring other judges to remove voting right from Blacks must be crazy.
