better dead than red until trump says it's ok to turn a blind eye to his russian sugar daddy.
4 in 10 apparently need their head checked for damage.
Imagine what the response would be if instead of a caricature of the GOP, it was a Democrat in office.
Those are the kind of guys for whom politics is a sport. They're just cheering for their team, none of this has any weight to them.
Yeah to them it's a sport, their shirt literally depicts a boxing match.
Reminds me of that post with " you know how annoying it is when a person straps you down to watch a movie but then leaves in the opening credits, thats why old people shouldn't vote".
Better dead than red
A lot of them aren't even rich. However, they would rather die than live in a country that treats the brown man the same as the white man, or the gay man the same as the straight man.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the black man, he won't notice you picking his pockets" Lyndon Johnson was exactly right.
Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires
-John Steinbeck
certainly fits the Trump party theme where everybody thinks they can relate to a billionaire and that him and his rich friends are out to help them.
I don't even fully understand racism as a concept one can have in their minds. I mean like, how and why would you consider yourself "superior" to another person just because of their goddamn skin color, or what fucking country they came from? Who the fuck cares? Are these people really that insecure about themselves that they have to find something to feel better than others over?
"my skin color is of a pastier, paler shade than theirs. clearly I am better in every possible way, because of that."
Unless these idiots really are just lacking in intelligence or something, I just don't get it. And thankfully, I probably never will.
In the past it was pushed as "scientific racism" that whites are genetically superior to other races. I'd imagine it's just automatic, you see people from other races as inferior, even if you don't say or do anything
racist, you still feel it. And of course it's motivated by fear, fear that whites will become the minority, that they will lose their status etc.
"It's only fair for other countries to interfere with our election since we've interfered with plenty of other country elections."
"By the way, remember that liberals are the real cucks."
"Hillary sold uranium to the Russians! THE RUSSIANS! You can't trust them with that much uranium!" said the people who are now saying they don't mind Russia pulling the strings behind our elections.
Now that I think about it (and it's not like those people are thinking logically) would giving Russia a bit more uranium even really matter when both sides already have enough nukes to destroy the planet a thousand times over?
The best part is that they didn't even get uranium, they got shares in a uranium company, IIRC
a lot of racism is anecdotal. stereotypes and personal experiences contribute a lot to perpetuate racism. think all the "I'm not racist but..." types that conflate poverty with culture or race like "They steal everything" or "I worked in the inner city and they're awful people" types
I'm genuinely surprised it's this low. Most Republicans I've talked to (read: Pretty much every) take up the "everyone interferes, they didn't change any votes" arguments.
Good. now we know who's getting hanged for treason when this is over.
Confederates were all pardoned by President Johnson in 1868, what if President Pence does the same?
Just reading the words President Pence put the worst taste in my mouth.
I feel like pence is just as guilty as the rest of these clowns.
At the end of the day, no one will pay for their crimes.
The bad guys always win, in one way or the other. There is no justice in the universe.
We have patriots who care about justice like Archibald Cox and Robert Mueller.
Can we bring back the term chickenhawk now? These twits are willing to start costly wars at the drop of a hat and panic over imaginary voter fraud, but are A-okay with actual treason as long as they benefit from it.
The Reich Ministry of Propaganda and Public Enlightment is largely to blame for the increasingly eager willingness of right wing voters to wholly abandon reality over the last twenty years. It's been a gradual process of public conditioning, but we've now reached the point in which truth has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on how these people think and react.
They must be dumbly hypocritical to calling yourself as American nationalist if you supporting your old rival. Plus this only some centrists (especially within Democratic Party) into unintentionally right-wing nationalists as result. Or this sad extreme example of party loyalty getting you.
That in within their party. But I don't this major issue in US outside from both parties 'unfortunately' according from Gallup.
Or Better dead than turning into Tsar Putin follower?
Just FYI 12.1 million people (the '4 in 10 republicans') is only approx. 9.4% of the total 128 million registered voters who voted in the last election. That's not even considering the fact that the amount of voting eligible population is approx. 230 million people, which would reduce that percentage even more.
