Not really trying to hide the racism anymore, are they?

I mean I've been paying attention to politics for the last 20-25 years now and I've known all along the Republican party had a racism problem, but the current boldness of it, almost flaunting of it, is still catching me by surprise.

I could have never imagined seeing the world's wealthiest man fire off two seig heils on stage at a Presidential Inauguration (with literally nothing coming of it), back during GWB's administration.

Nope.

The goalposts have moved completely off the field at this point. It's clear that conservatives cannot be trusted and should never, under any circumstances, be allowed to aggregate power.

I can only hope it's all so extreme that in the long run it helps bury this traitorous party and confine them to the shitpile of history.

I feel like we figured this out in 1945, and the 1911 .45 still works very well.

Faux news absolutely lost their fucking minds when Obama tossed a salute at a jarhead while gasp holding a coffee. Wave a sign of respect to one of your guards while being black…they scream for weeks.

Actively salute a North Korean officer while being orange or seig heil while white and rich…totally patriotic and cool what’s he gonna do tomorrow.

This shit is making me lose sanity
