It seems DJT turned braindead and that long time before he was shot at.
He’s such an asshole and it’s nice to see people finally starting to realize it. He’s had sycophants around him his entire life and doesn’t have the faintest clue what normal is.
Overt racism is not a winning strategy. Keep it going.
Except when it is.
They always forget WHY they need to have an excuse or alternative meaning for their racist shit.
I mean, it’s not, but I’m not a fan of overt racism [towards other people] as a means to an end, especially if it empowers your everyday racist
Please don’t forget to VOTE!
Hell yea. I had him saying a slur before August. Just under the wire.
I don’t see that he actually used a slur. It seems they’re using it in the more broad sense of “insulting or disparaging remark or innuendo”.
Damn. He’s still got about an hour and a half. I have hope.
Later today Dean Browning plans to issue a statement of support from Blacks for Trump HQ.
Mixed race problems. “What are you?” “Well, funny thing…”
I identify as human ☝️
Negative, I am a meat popsicle.
That’s super green!
Intensely.
Hear me out, because I might be getting delusional here. There’s been plenty of evidence that he is a Russian asset. There is also rampant shit spewing out of his mouth at every turn about how the system is rigged etc. and that his people should get ready for a civil war when he loses blah blah.
Is it impossible to think that this is Russia’s endgame? Fuck having a puppet in office if he could get a number of people to revolt and take to the streets. This is assuming the number of brainwashed idiots is high enough to do more than Jan 6.
Thoughts?
I don’t think he has enough brainwashed idiots for a revolt to succeed. Russia would be better off if Trump wins, because he can immediately stop helping Ukraine.
It’s plausible, but there are many ways to explain the status quo. And maybe all those are in play at once?
Russia would absolutely use and abuse any US political puppet they can get their hands on. After all, there’s no point in getting into a shooting war with another nuclear power1. History has also shown that the USA united and moving in one direction at once is a force to be reckoned with. From Russia’s perspective, it’s way more economical to have your adversaries rip themselves apart for you. As the USA has had some pretty deep divisions since the Civil War, we are a clear target for this kind of strategy; we are already primed to disagree on things. The only real work to do is escalate the matter, and politics is a great lever for that. But I’ll assert that there’s no endgame necessary for this strategy: all they have to do is keep fueling chaos, keep the electorate divided, and keep everyone arguing while ignoring any common ground. From there, continued governmental dysfunction keeps us from being a bigger economical or political threat to others in the meantime.
That said, it’s all conjecture. Let me take a less conspiratorial look for a second.
At the same time, it’s cold comfort that some invisible hand is fomenting unrest and causing our biggest problems, rather than it being an inherently American dysfunction; classic self-coping denial. A bit like blaming your partner for why the relationship is in shambles, when everyone really needs to go to therapy and work on some root problems. Perhaps those causes are intractable, but as far as I can tell, nobody’s working that out and focusing a lot of energy on wedge topics (symptoms, grievances) instead.
Edit: I am in no way implying that we need to validate all the obvious bad takes from the right wing. Far from it; call that shit out. Instead, I think it’s crucial to look to how/why those takes get traction and focus there instead.
1 - proxy wars are weirdly okay, and have been for a long time. I’m still trying to figure that one out.
My jaw remains firmly in place. I was well prepared for this by his many, many, many other racist statements and actions.
Dude went full regard.
Just like he turned orange?
New Jersey has merely adopted the orange. He was born in it, molded by it.

If you have any questions or comments about me, you can make a post to LW Support lemmy community.He just can’t stop himself from being a total Republican can he?
Fucking weirdos man.
I love that his people let him go to this event 🤣
Kamala is really fucking with his head.
The fact that he went there, and stuck around, surprises me.
He went because his strategy is to peel off any low-info black voters he can.
If you go into a community that overwhelmingly hates you, you can never do worse than where you started. Notice the handful of presumable plants cheering Trump on in the crowd, too.
He gets his few talking points in and some “respect” him for reaching out to the community and that’s all he’s after.
I thought the cheers were more like laughing at him and sometimes cheering like “oh my god. We got him!”

Also he gives idiots like my parents an excuse to maintain their cognitive dissonance. I feel they couldn’t have instilled the decent base values they did while being actual neo-nazis so I’m trying to just hold out hope that they’re just dumbasses.
I’ve been amazed for decades how trying to live the values my family instilled in me makes me some kind of commie that wants to destroy america.
They would think Jesus was a communist trying to destroy his country if he were here.
Try having them watch the documentary, “The Brainwashing of my Dad.” long shot, but worth trying…
People were mad that they invited him but after this I hope they invite him to all kinds of left leaning places lol
