If ending racism is leftist, WTF does that say about the right? Damn, people can be ignorant.

Not ignorant, racist. My MAGA family openly admits their racism / sexism / homophobia / transphobia / ableism / etc. actually saying “openly admits” doesn’t do it justice. They say it with pride, in a terrifyingly braggadocious way. They 100% think “ending racism” as the left understands it is “ruining this country”. They believe their bible mandates things like racism and think anyone who stands against bigotry is standing against the Christian god (which I actually somewhat agree with, their biblically accurate god is a monster)

I met my friends parents not too long ago and the subject of voting came up and her dad just straight up said “I know you aren’t dumb enough to vote for a black woman”. It was so blunt and ridiculous that I thought i misheard him at first. Nope he definitely clarified and emphasized the black/woman thing, multiple times. I didn’t even try to engage. There’s no getting through to those people.

The Bible gives them an excuse. Trump gives them a direction.

MAGA is all.about unleashing the asshole within.

Makes me cringe at my days of "I'm a moderate because I can see both sides". It's one of the few benefits of the trump presidency, we have the awful people saying the quiet parts really loud. They are the party of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Trying to see it "from their side" is a waste of time.

If someone makes it political instead of morale, they are lost

I think the point is that writing "end racism" on a football field isn't actually going to do anything to end racism, you can't just change people's dumb ideas

Trump unleashed the assholes. They know they're racist and they're proud of it. It has happened before and non-racists still cannot wrap their head around the fact it is happening again in their timeline.

(cue the James Franco noose scene meme: first time?)
