    And with Trump calling her a "racist" too implying she's racist against white people. Gotta remember the wet boy is also a fucking racist shithead.

      Like I get pointing and laughing at someone like trump-moist, but sometimes I feel it leans too close to an irony-poisoned indifference to the horrible things he says and propagates.

      I understand not caring in the grand scheme of things because it's ultimately nothing new in the West, but it's still rough when you want to talk to people about the blatant dog whistling.

    “They never went after those that Rigged the Election,” Trump wrote. “They only went after those that fought to find the RIGGERS!”

    Far more pathetic than just saying the actual slur

    Like they're racist but they can't even commit to being racist in a socially unacceptable way

    They have to be politically correct racist lmao

        Unironically though. He was elected by a coalition of people who wanted to stop slavery immediately, and who wanted to stop it over time, but was way more moderate than they wanted.

        Remember, the south seceded because they assumed the country would eventually get around to banning slavery, not because they actually tried to.

        He consistently tried to find a middle ground, saying he'd be fine maintaining slavery if it meant the country stayed together, only freeing slaves only in confederate-occupied territories (until the political situation changed), trying to send them to Africa, etc.

      They actually like saying "Let's Go Brandon" and " Rigger" more.
      It's a secret codeword for them to show in-group affiliation. There's no point to a dog whistle that is so transparent and blatant, but I never accused them of being intelligent.

    I remember after Ahmaud Arbery was shot dead by those two vigilante pigs that they started calling black people "joggers" as a dog whistle.

      They're always coming up with nicknames for black people. They tried using "Google" briefly to screw up the google algorithm and "Basketball American" was another one. Neither really ever caught on.

    Weren't they using a synonym for stingy that was close to n-word+dly back during the Obama years? Americans just like racial slur edging.

        So triggering when you confront these assholes and it all, 'what? I didn't mean, What did I say?'. Makes me want to get all praxis.

        I was going to give them benefit of the doubt because the creator is black but turns out I was thinking of Cyberpunk.

            It's almost worse because Rig...Drone operators...in Shadowrun can do some cool stuff but the one thing you'll get to do is drive. The ensuing meme is that nobody wants to play that class.
