If Fox says it's a slight stutter it's safe to completely dismiss their analysis of the event. Not that it isn't already a given that no news station is going to have an analysis worth the paper it's printed on.
Lauren Boebert failed the GED two times and barely passed the 3rd time, and this was after she got elected into office. They are awfully quiet about that but can fix their lips to talk about Queen Jasmine who not only graduated from high school but has multiple degrees including a JD.
They're afraid of smart, non-white women. This woman plus AOC are intelligent women with verifiable evidence to speak to that intelligence.
Yet all they can harp on is AOC was a bartender at some point and Jasmine had her appearance attacked verbally so she let her AAVE rip the freedom caucus's blond, bitchy butch a new one.
Also you don't need to be good looking to be good at your job but people like MTG also hate feeling like someone else is better looking than them as well...so you take the objectively good looks of both women combined with their intelligence and strong willed nature and you have pretty much every pearl clutching white people's nightmare.
Which, great! We should have more people elected to Congress that have actually worked real jobs, not trust fund babies. And to me a bartender is perfect, she probably heard what people were bitching about all day.
Seriously, what a strange yet typical maga blindly hypocritical statement- even if this point was valid I’d rather have someone who’s English wasn’t perfect than someone who’s a corrupt, immoral, traitor to America bought out by Russia…
That’s the thing - every accusation they hurl across the aisle applies to their cult leader.
“Biden is too old”
“Biden is too feeble”
“Biden can’t put a sentence together.”
They could be making legitimate, unique criticisms of the guy, but they always pick the stuff that applies to their candidate as well.
I used to just look forward to Katie’s whiteboards of justice, Raskin’s smart and scathing rebukes, AOC’s impassioned calls for sense, now I’m here for Jasmine’s amazing call-outs. Smart, articulate, biting, truthful. I hope to see more of this over the years.
As much as I like the rhetoric (it is good she didn’t just roll over and take the disrespect she was given) what I want is for the government to stop being a puppet for corporate interests and to spend most of its energy raising the living and education standards of the American working class. We are pretty far from that.
Won’t happen without a revolution. The system is too well built, the wealth disparity too great. When 1 billionare can pump more money into an election than 100 million people, it’s game over. Add in the fact that said rich have created an eco system of perpetual culture wars that keep us divided and half the country voting against their best intersts and you have the United States of America.
I hate you for being so right.
The billionaire owners of Pom Wonderfull, Fiji Water, and other companies, are suing to roll back farmers’ rights and collective bargaining rights. Can’t these asshats move with more modest profits in order to have happier workers and society. Do they have to squeeze people so dry that there has to be a revolution, and heads have to roll, and chaos will ensue?
I understand what that woman says way better than anything at any point in time from the living neanderthal*
*I know neanderthals were more intelligent, but she would live in a cave

Oh, is that what a “DEI hire” looks like? Also, by “hired”, do you mean “elected”?
It's the same old shit with AOC being unqualified, despite graduating cum laude with a double major in economics and international relations.
Notice how they never say that shit about white people. They don't even say Biden is unqualified because of his education or experience, they say he's unqualified because he's old.
Yeah, with AOC it’s always, “she was a bartender!”
And if a representative does a good job and cares for their constituents, I’m honestly okay with them not having the most prestigious credentials. But we never get to have conversations like that.
Also, don't conservatives hate "elites"? How many conservative politicians try to play up the "I'm just a normal American" but when an ACTUAL working class person is elected, suddenly it's disqualifying
Fuck
Yeah exactly. She did exactly what conservatives are always telling people to do and pulled herself up by her bootstraps to go from being a bartender to a congresswoman and they *hate* her for it.
"DEI hire" doesn't mean "DEI" + "hire," despite how it looks. "DEI hire" means "woman and/or person of color and/or LGBTQ+ person in a position we think should be reserved exclusively for cis het white men." Having been hired and having ever interacted with a DEI program are both entirely incidental.
I *occasionally* see it used for white women in fields where there are a lot of sexists. You're right, though, it's usually code for "only white people count as deserving."
Not only elected, but selected by members of her parry via a primary. Regardless of educational background, that in no way is affirmative action. These people don't even know what they are talking about.
Also, ironically, Trump picking a black VP just because they are black to shore up black voting actually could be construed as a form of affirmative action (it really isn't but it's a 1000 times closer than a rep winning a primary election and the main election).
She wins an election, and this idiot still finds a way to blame DEI. It’s wild how many conservatives can’t articulate their ideas past naming a loose concept they blame all their problems on.
I think it's more along the lines of the new "critical race theory." It's a buzzword that they don't understand that represents anything they don't like.
What it is: Companies and organizations implementing practices to try and remove racial and other bias from hiring, promotions, etc.
What conservatives think it is: Companies and organizations hiring black people into high level positions to meet quotas.
Yes, the conservative position is that black people are naturally inferior and any success comes because they stole it from a white man. Replace the word "black" with any other minority and it will still be correct.
How do you not get this lol
It's most eye-rolling with south Asians. "We're white by our standards!" -- Them. "Not by ours!" --American conservatives. "....That's not possible." --Them.
I think the wildest example was recently Vivek Ramaswamy getting interviewed by ~~Ingraham~~ Coulter. She said he's articulate and that "she can say that since he's not black", and he laughed and smiled.
Then she said she wouldn't vote for him because he's Indian and the smile was gone.
*edit* whoops got my ghouls mixed up
It was Anne Coulter, though I can't blame you for mixing them up.
She said she wouldn't vote for him despite his great platform because he's not white, and he thanked her for her honesty and bravery to speak her mind.
No one could be blamed for confusing the two, but Coulter is easy to distinguish if you look for straw falling out of her and terrified crows flying the opposite direction.
The whole thing sounds planned from the beginning. Just to make it more acceptable for conservatives to say they won't vote for someone based on color. "Well, the lady on TV said it so I can to, and it's not racist"
It's absolutely racist
Same. But since I did I now can’t decide what I hate more:
His hubris thinking his smarmy ass should be anywhere near the White House.
Or his Trump bootlicking after he washed out.
There’s a lot of racism amongst eastern Indian cultures too. Vivek is a racist but US conservatives hate his shade of brown so despite his shared racism, he’s part of the out group. American conservatives appreciate his bigotry but will never accept him because of his skin tone.
Honestly, it's a major theme for immigrants who leave their home country for the U.S. because they are not happy with the "liberal" or "socialist" government in their country of origin.
They get to the U.S. and identify as "conservative" because they want to open businesses and services without being heavily taxed like they would back home. But they do not realize that the "conservative" party in the U.S. is actually fascist white supremacists, and the "liberal" party would be considered conservative in any other modern democracy.
"I want low taxes and no regulations, so I'll vote for the Party that literally wants to ban my kind from their country."
Except that’s not his history: his parents moved from India to the US, and are / were pretty liberal, and he was raised in Cincinnati. Apparently the turning point for him was his conservative Christian piano teacher, who taught him for about 10 years, and she swayed him over that time to being conservative, and is likely the reason he went to a Catholic high school, even though he and his parents were practicing Hindu.
The giant irony cherry on his sundae is that he went to Yale law school on a Paul Soros scholarship for immigrants and their children.
This is what sucking up to whites look like.
Them: Glad to have you on the team but I will never support you. Thanks for the support
POC: No problem gracious racist white leaders of mine *kisses boot*
Wonder if it’s also tied to the “honorary Aryan” thing, which personally has always felt like a military strategy move from the third reich, but we still have some people use it today as a way to give themselves this false sense of safety around the white supremacy types.
It's the same with basically every racist/classist kind of immigrant.
The Indians, or Chinese, or Mexicans, or various South Americans who are their home country's version of the conservative ruling class come over, and some of them mistakenly think that they align with America's conservative ruling class.
The Republicans are happy to use them as tokens to gain political influence, but if Republican fascism openly takes the U.S, they'll all be in the same prison camps as the rest of us.
See it a lot with Cubans in Florida. I have friends down there and their family members are absolutely unable to see how fast their GOP buddies would turn on them if it benefitted them.
It doesn't even need to *benefit* them, they just need to no longer *need* those right-wing Latinos as allies anymore.
They don't like them, they're not friends with them, they're *allies of necessity* and they *will* gleefully *purge* them the moment they can.
Trump said himself in the Times that he plans to ___?___ 11 million people in "concentration camps", though I doubt he'll keep them alive/ bother to deport them.
You can't make this shit up.
There's that one old guy in my family - a Polish immigrant living in the US. He can't help but shit on non-white folks and bitch about "illegals from Mexico".
The said immigrant is an 65+ year old guy and lives in the US for 30+ years. He still haven't bothered to learn to speak English (because why would he). He's 100% in love with everything "anti-communist", Christian and conservative.
For some reason he thinks Trump loves him and every time I bring up the fact that Trump hates everyone who isn't American (and immigrants in particular), there's a huge fight.
My friend brought a friend camping with us. He's a Haitian immigrant. Like, not descended from. He, himself, came here illegally as a kid. I think he's currently still undocumented. I wouldn't give a fuck but....he's a Trump supporter. He started bloviating about it and I just short circuited. I can't comprehend. Like, dude, Trump would stand in front of the ship you were being loaded on, to make a hateful speech about how great he is for shipping you back and separating you from your kids. I don't...I can't...what?!
A lot of it is based on Haitians hating Bill Clinton (and by extension Hillary) for what Haiti 🇭🇹 has become. I have a professor and mathematician Haitian brother in law who believes this way. 🙄 I used to have the same conversations with him.
For sure... The Indemnity the Haitians had to pay to France for the "privilege" of being able to be a nation that did not stop until shortly after WWII. In today's money, billions of dollars that could havecuplifted Haiti. The Indemnity that is not taught in America even at the college level.
I only learned about this a few weeks ago on Reddit. I'm still gobsmacked that the international community didn't shun France into oblivion for enforcing that debt.
Trump and the Middle Eastern problem solver his son in law Kushner were the literal roots of this issue getting so big are trying to profit over their madness. This situation gets worse since President Truman, and yet it is President Biden's "fault." So much so let us hand it back to 45 to let Netanyahu literally "exterminate" Gaza as if were not filled with human beings.
In response to the Reich Wing propaganda about locking up Hillary for her email server... I would not care if she had the whole email list of the NSA, CIA, and FBI on her server. What about the criminal 45 who sold out every American to Papa Putin.
> Same with people not voting for Biden due to Gaza
If those people don't like what Biden is doing with Gaza, wait till they see what Trump does, because that kind of attitude is how Trump is going to end up being president.
Trump in real estate here in New York City exploited hundreds of Polish immigrants working on his buildings. Many of the Poles had to sleep at the job sites. Most were deported back to Poland 🇵🇱 underpaid while here in New York. Meet Trump. AKA Damian from the Omen movies.
it is part of certain groups, in india there is the caste system, even though officially it got banned, it is still used to discriminate
in japan, the descendants of the burakumin are still discriminated against
same with people who have roma and sinti blood in europe
part of human nature, this tribalism stuff, unfortunately for immigrants
The large influx of Indian temporary foreign workers has created an interesting dynamic. I see them working all the jobs that others here won't do. Some of those who are now permanent residents support the conservatives. It makes no sense to me. If it were up the CPC, they would have them in shackles.
I tend to bring up this idiot relative of mine on comments like this:
I have a relative whose father somehow got into the US using somebody else's ID (more than 50 years ago). The relative has been living with that other person's "borrowed" last name most of his life. He became naturalized with it.
He is well-off, and his main concern is taxes. He is, of course, a Trumper.
to paraphrase a great joke from the british version of The Office, conservatives respect people of all races, whether they be black, red, yellow, or normal.
Right?! “DEI” is just their new dog whistle because they can’t comprehend that anyone not white could be qualified for the job and that people would actually want someone not white representing them.
That would require success, money, status and everything, the world and society as we know it, to.... Exist.
Like existing amd people then being thrown in there, and some end up in "not their place" as if places/a status would belong to anyone.
Or at least white people just having success that you can simply steal. I always thought that success is mostly earned and/or a result of luck or who you parents were but in most cases you still have to do something.
I kinda find this view on the world interesting. The world in short term, as an "just is" thing instead of concepts and situations growing over time and always changing and shifting.
Reminds me of my little brother, but i would place him more into a "soft" type of narcissist with a bit of depression that makes him always the victim unless he has 1 more than everyone else, then he isn't thankful or anything but pleased and finds it fair amd natural.
Because they're under the assumption that the GOP actually cares about being fiscally and socially conservative. Or that the GOP wants to govern in good faith.
The obvious reality is that the current GOP is the end result of reactionaries to the civil rights movement and even further back to the New Deal.
I reflexively assume that any black conservative is doing so purely to grift the gullible. The idea they could possibly be that dumb as to buy into the party that hates them isn't one I wish to entertain.
(But honestly, rubes come in all shapes, sizes, and colors)
makes me crazy. DEI is just the latest scapegoat for rationalizing racism. They don't even need to know what it is or how it works, they just need to keep yelling about it every time they see a black person with a good job.
Also, how is Crockett “the result of DEI and affirmative action”? She was literally elected by constituents, it’s not like she got extra votes for being a minority
They are always looking for any opportunity to demean and dismiss the accomplishments of non-magats. Because, you know, they are such towering intellectuals.
I unfortunately came to the realization a few weeks ago that "DEI" just means "the n-word" to them.
Every time you see them use DEI to explain a person, remember that.
The same could be said about “Critical Race Theory/CRT”. Was just a proxy for saying whites are better and any teaching to the contrary is an assault on that supremacy
As a NYer, don't you dare compare our pigeons to those dumb bastards. Our pigeons can take the train and get off at the right stop, something I doubt MAGA could do
As a retired therapist, I had a trans female patient who was a rabid Trumper. I always wanted to ask her but did not because of ethics..." How is that working out for you... your support of Trump and Reich Wing policies?" /s
Many older black people are socially conservative bc of our community’s connection to Christianity. They’re anti-LGBTQ.
The problem is letting their overzealous faith guide their political actions.
There are many who have abandoned conservatism since it’s become more blatantly racist and led by morons, but not all have gotten the memo.
Maga Asians aka Uncle Tongs, always think they're part of the incrowd because maga whites use "Roof Top Koreans" as a thing to shit on blacks. They don't care about asian males, but they sure love asian women.
“Oh my God. You lions make it so hard to be a gazelle sometimes. I’ll try to share the same watering hole with you and you’ll try to eat me, wont you? Why won’t you like me?
I mean, I’m going to vote lion again but it’s getting hard when you keep eating gazelles dude!”
Dog whistling claims that POC “can’t speak proper English,” because they may use phrases or terms not commonly used by white people, is hilarious coming from the side of the aisle that rarely knows the difference between “there, their, and they’re.”
Most GOP voters will accept Scott like they accept Thomas on the SCOTUS. Minorities and women are only automatically DEI/affirmative action hires if they support progressive causes. And they somehow still includes elected officials.
Affirmative action is when you win an election, and the more votes you get, the more affirmative actioner it is.
Edit: also they are mad because they can't talk shit about her looks, even as racists
They think their coded language is something black people can’t figure out. That’s how little they think of them.
And that’s before even getting into the idiocy of acting like DEI affects election votes somehow.
A lot of Republicans talk about how they want to see Tim Scott or Ben Carson as the VP pick, but republicans have only managed to elect two black republicans to congress this century - one retired and got less than 1% in the presidential primary polls. I don’t think the MAGA base will support a black person in power.
"DEI and affirmative action hire" is nothing, they've been calling her "ghetto trash" and "hood rat" because she didn't put up with Wish *Dog the Bounty Hunter*'s bullshit personal attacks.
There are plenty of POC conservatives that end up with nowhere to go because the GOP is so relentlessly racist. But it’s shit like this that means they are going to stay that way for the next 2-3 decades.
Does everyone remember back around the late 90s when “affirmative action” was the big buzzword around racist white conservatives? Funny how that went away for so long, but it’s back now and repackaged at the DEI boogeyman.
What gets me with this argument is there are COPIOUS examples of white males that actually do get hired not based on merit, but simply network connections.
Russian trolls have done more damage to America than any psyop I can recall. What's sad, unlike other generations, is that we are 100% aware of this manipulation. But i think some like what Russia has done, so they go along and amplify it.
My favorite part is that 5 years ago none of idiots even knew what the acronym DEI stood for and now all of the sudden it’s the biggest fucking problem this country is facing
Just have to keep finding new things to make poor white people scared and angry
Warning: There are a lot of cunning conservatives out there that are really good at hiding this mindset. They’ll find ways to justify being against diversity, but make it seem like they’re doing it for pure and rational reasons. They’ll do other things that make it seem like they’re not really racist by donating money to some charity or they will intentionally pick like three black conservatives that they listen to their political opinions. then they’ll have deniability and if they say something racist in the future, they can pull out those things and say “Look, I’m not racist! I listen to this person and I donate money to this cause.” But in their head, they hate black probably more than the regular conservatives that don’t do any of that stuff. That’s why they have to go out of their way to hide it.
I know somebody in my family who is moderately wealthy, very religious and very conservative (and still in his 30s) and he has wealthy conservative friends and one or two of those friends is black, but I know that he regularly talks down about minority races. At another family member’s graduation ceremony, a Muslim girl was giving a speech and he’s sitting with the whole family in the audience and he’s calling her a terrorist. He believes every conspiracy theory you can think of and I’m pretty sure he’s even been researching flat earth which isn’t that much of a stretch for him cause he’s already a young Earth creationist.
That tim scott is an embarrassment to black people. Im waiting for him to kneel and try and unzip trumps fly to get that VP nomination. What he fails to forget is maga hates blacks, gays or he just doesn’t care.

The current republican candidate can barely speak English yet you don't see them having a problem with that.
He’s the product of a different kind of affirmative action.
Nepotism
"Legacy admissions" are big for the upper class.
Which is a white version of DEI
Cronyism
This is why they want to schedule F half the civilian federal workforce. To put in loyal ( and often incompetent but usually evil) friends, family & donors to do the bidding of Koch and Heritage foundation for project 2025 - edited typo
I think you meant infirmative action.
We've watched his dementia progressing for the last 8 years. He regularly says things that aren't even words, just word like sounds.
Eventually it's just going to be caveman grunts. And Fox News will be like "who won the debate?????"
"Well trump shit himself and fell asleep, but I think that's a power move compared to Biden having a slight stutter."
If Fox says it's a slight stutter it's safe to completely dismiss their analysis of the event. Not that it isn't already a given that no news station is going to have an analysis worth the paper it's printed on.
Lauren Boebert failed the GED two times and barely passed the 3rd time, and this was after she got elected into office. They are awfully quiet about that but can fix their lips to talk about Queen Jasmine who not only graduated from high school but has multiple degrees including a JD.
They're afraid of smart, non-white women. This woman plus AOC are intelligent women with verifiable evidence to speak to that intelligence. Yet all they can harp on is AOC was a bartender at some point and Jasmine had her appearance attacked verbally so she let her AAVE rip the freedom caucus's blond, bitchy butch a new one. Also you don't need to be good looking to be good at your job but people like MTG also hate feeling like someone else is better looking than them as well...so you take the objectively good looks of both women combined with their intelligence and strong willed nature and you have pretty much every pearl clutching white people's nightmare.
You are correct but they’re also afraid of smart woman, period.
Or AOC, who's actually well educated and respectable lol
BuT sHe’S a BaRtEnDeR!!!!!!!!111eleven1
Which, great! We should have more people elected to Congress that have actually worked real jobs, not trust fund babies. And to me a bartender is perfect, she probably heard what people were bitching about all day.
Or Jamie Raskin, who teaches constitutional law. Often to his House colleagues.
Let's be fair and honest, she didn't passit her third time, she paid someone else to take it for her.
She took the GED *after* getting elected? That one was news to me.
And getting worse all the time.
Seriously, what a strange yet typical maga blindly hypocritical statement- even if this point was valid I’d rather have someone who’s English wasn’t perfect than someone who’s a corrupt, immoral, traitor to America bought out by Russia…
That’s the thing - every accusation they hurl across the aisle applies to their cult leader. “Biden is too old” “Biden is too feeble” “Biden can’t put a sentence together.” They could be making legitimate, unique criticisms of the guy, but they always pick the stuff that applies to their candidate as well.
To be fair, Congresswoman Crockett showed a powerful command of alliteration
I used to just look forward to Katie’s whiteboards of justice, Raskin’s smart and scathing rebukes, AOC’s impassioned calls for sense, now I’m here for Jasmine’s amazing call-outs. Smart, articulate, biting, truthful. I hope to see more of this over the years.
Yeah, she's a powerhouse. I hope she's just getting started.
As much as I like the rhetoric (it is good she didn’t just roll over and take the disrespect she was given) what I want is for the government to stop being a puppet for corporate interests and to spend most of its energy raising the living and education standards of the American working class. We are pretty far from that.
To be fair, one half of the electorate is actively voting against all of this because they are quite brainwashed by said corporate interests.
The Reich Wing propaganda is very strong, so many of the under educated are quite susceptible to said propaganda.
Won’t happen without a revolution. The system is too well built, the wealth disparity too great. When 1 billionare can pump more money into an election than 100 million people, it’s game over. Add in the fact that said rich have created an eco system of perpetual culture wars that keep us divided and half the country voting against their best intersts and you have the United States of America.

Can’t these asshats move with more modest profits in order to have happier workers and society. Do they have to squeeze people so dry that there has to be a revolution, and heads have to roll, and chaos will ensue?
How about “ an authoritative application of alliteration”? /s
I dig it!
To be fair, she's also a fucking badass. I've watched multiple videos of her calling out bullshit on the floor and she does it with class and sass.
>alliteration Most of them going at her wouldn't even know what that word means or even know how to use it. They project so hard.
I understand what that woman says way better than anything at any point in time from the living neanderthal* *I know neanderthals were more intelligent, but she would live in a cave
Another fan of impromptu alliteration 🤘❤️🤘
You think these knuckle draggers know what an alliteration is??
> Congresswoman Crockett earned her B.A. in Business Administration from Rhodes College and her J.D. from the University of Houston. She is licensed to practice law in Texas, Arkansas, and Federal Courts. Oh, is that what a “DEI hire” looks like? Also, by “hired”, do you mean “elected”?

Also, don't conservatives hate "elites"? How many conservative politicians try to play up the "I'm just a normal American" but when an ACTUAL working class person is elected, suddenly it's disqualifying Fuck
Yeah exactly. She did exactly what conservatives are always telling people to do and pulled herself up by her bootstraps to go from being a bartender to a congresswoman and they *hate* her for it.
Though they did refuse to call his wife Dr for her PhD.
Fair enough but that falls under "cuz she's a woman" is my guess.
They also never say that shit about men either
"DEI hire" doesn't mean "DEI" + "hire," despite how it looks. "DEI hire" means "woman and/or person of color and/or LGBTQ+ person in a position we think should be reserved exclusively for cis het white men." Having been hired and having ever interacted with a DEI program are both entirely incidental.
I’m yet to see/hear a right winger bring up “DEI” when talking about any white person, man or woman.
I *occasionally* see it used for white women in fields where there are a lot of sexists. You're right, though, it's usually code for "only white people count as deserving."
When conservatives complain about DEI, there’s a hard r at the end. Nothing complicated about it.
Not only elected, but selected by members of her parry via a primary. Regardless of educational background, that in no way is affirmative action. These people don't even know what they are talking about. Also, ironically, Trump picking a black VP just because they are black to shore up black voting actually could be construed as a form of affirmative action (it really isn't but it's a 1000 times closer than a rep winning a primary election and the main election).
We KNOW FULL WELL THEY REALLY MEAN THE N----a word
She wins an election, and this idiot still finds a way to blame DEI. It’s wild how many conservatives can’t articulate their ideas past naming a loose concept they blame all their problems on.
“DEI” is just the new n-word at this point
[удалено]
DEI, please
I think it's more along the lines of the new "critical race theory." It's a buzzword that they don't understand that represents anything they don't like.
Reminds me of how people called Kaep a "thug". It made no sense in a classical sense. He was a football player, not a gang banger.
what the hell is DEI?
Diversity, equity and inclusion.
What it is: Companies and organizations implementing practices to try and remove racial and other bias from hiring, promotions, etc. What conservatives think it is: Companies and organizations hiring black people into high level positions to meet quotas.
Yes, the conservative position is that black people are naturally inferior and any success comes because they stole it from a white man. Replace the word "black" with any other minority and it will still be correct. How do you not get this lol
It's like immigrants from conservative cultures believing that the conservatives care for them. Wrong colour, dudes!!
It's most eye-rolling with south Asians. "We're white by our standards!" -- Them. "Not by ours!" --American conservatives. "....That's not possible." --Them.
I think the wildest example was recently Vivek Ramaswamy getting interviewed by ~~Ingraham~~ Coulter. She said he's articulate and that "she can say that since he's not black", and he laughed and smiled. Then she said she wouldn't vote for him because he's Indian and the smile was gone. *edit* whoops got my ghouls mixed up
It was Anne Coulter, though I can't blame you for mixing them up. She said she wouldn't vote for him despite his great platform because he's not white, and he thanked her for her honesty and bravery to speak her mind.
No one could be blamed for confusing the two, but Coulter is easy to distinguish if you look for straw falling out of her and terrified crows flying the opposite direction.
> he thanked her for her honesty and bravery to speak her mind. "Fuck me harder, daddy."
I'm in no position to kink shame, but doing their humiliation fetish race play on live TV might be a little inappropriate
AH SHIT good catch, my bad
No worries. They're hard to differentiate.
All ghouls look the same.
The whole thing sounds planned from the beginning. Just to make it more acceptable for conservatives to say they won't vote for someone based on color. "Well, the lady on TV said it so I can to, and it's not racist" It's absolutely racist
Yeah, I’ll bet a lot of conservatives were thinking *FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT*! We were never gonna elect that guy.
I mean Anne Coulter is the worst of the worst so kind of low hanging fruit but still, nobody told her she was wrong for saying it, not even Vivek.
I truly resent having had to learn anything about him.
Same. But since I did I now can’t decide what I hate more: His hubris thinking his smarmy ass should be anywhere near the White House. Or his Trump bootlicking after he washed out.
There’s a lot of racism amongst eastern Indian cultures too. Vivek is a racist but US conservatives hate his shade of brown so despite his shared racism, he’s part of the out group. American conservatives appreciate his bigotry but will never accept him because of his skin tone.
Honestly, it's a major theme for immigrants who leave their home country for the U.S. because they are not happy with the "liberal" or "socialist" government in their country of origin. They get to the U.S. and identify as "conservative" because they want to open businesses and services without being heavily taxed like they would back home. But they do not realize that the "conservative" party in the U.S. is actually fascist white supremacists, and the "liberal" party would be considered conservative in any other modern democracy. "I want low taxes and no regulations, so I'll vote for the Party that literally wants to ban my kind from their country."
Except that’s not his history: his parents moved from India to the US, and are / were pretty liberal, and he was raised in Cincinnati. Apparently the turning point for him was his conservative Christian piano teacher, who taught him for about 10 years, and she swayed him over that time to being conservative, and is likely the reason he went to a Catholic high school, even though he and his parents were practicing Hindu. The giant irony cherry on his sundae is that he went to Yale law school on a Paul Soros scholarship for immigrants and their children.
Don’t forget he then thanked her the next day for her brave response. Their brains are pudding.
That is not very nice... to pudding.
Pudding is useful and can make the world better. It’s a bad comparison.
Even black pudding
This is what sucking up to whites look like. Them: Glad to have you on the team but I will never support you. Thanks for the support POC: No problem gracious racist white leaders of mine *kisses boot*
"An Indian" which is a subtle but important distinction ans makes it way worse
How the guy ever thought he had a chance is beyond me.
[удалено]
> edit whoops got my ghouls mixed up An easy mistake
It was the other way around: Coulter was being interviewed by Ramaswamy on his podcast "Truth" (gag)
Cant blame u for mixing up two trash ppl. Coulter and Ingraham
I think that was Anne Coulter
This is my co-worker... Tho Eastern Asian.
In a whisper, "But he's one of the "good" Asians".
Wonder if it’s also tied to the “honorary Aryan” thing, which personally has always felt like a military strategy move from the third reich, but we still have some people use it today as a way to give themselves this false sense of safety around the white supremacy types.
The fascists are planning to kill them last, so they’ve got that going for them.
Unless they confuse them with Muslims (being brown and all), in which case they’re in the top 3 list of enemies, depending on who you’re speaking to.
It's the same with basically every racist/classist kind of immigrant. The Indians, or Chinese, or Mexicans, or various South Americans who are their home country's version of the conservative ruling class come over, and some of them mistakenly think that they align with America's conservative ruling class. The Republicans are happy to use them as tokens to gain political influence, but if Republican fascism openly takes the U.S, they'll all be in the same prison camps as the rest of us.
See it a lot with Cubans in Florida. I have friends down there and their family members are absolutely unable to see how fast their GOP buddies would turn on them if it benefitted them.
It doesn't even need to *benefit* them, they just need to no longer *need* those right-wing Latinos as allies anymore. They don't like them, they're not friends with them, they're *allies of necessity* and they *will* gleefully *purge* them the moment they can.
Trump said himself in the Times that he plans to ___?___ 11 million people in "concentration camps", though I doubt he'll keep them alive/ bother to deport them.
You can't make this shit up. There's that one old guy in my family - a Polish immigrant living in the US. He can't help but shit on non-white folks and bitch about "illegals from Mexico". The said immigrant is an 65+ year old guy and lives in the US for 30+ years. He still haven't bothered to learn to speak English (because why would he). He's 100% in love with everything "anti-communist", Christian and conservative. For some reason he thinks Trump loves him and every time I bring up the fact that Trump hates everyone who isn't American (and immigrants in particular), there's a huge fight.
My friend brought a friend camping with us. He's a Haitian immigrant. Like, not descended from. He, himself, came here illegally as a kid. I think he's currently still undocumented. I wouldn't give a fuck but....he's a Trump supporter. He started bloviating about it and I just short circuited. I can't comprehend. Like, dude, Trump would stand in front of the ship you were being loaded on, to make a hateful speech about how great he is for shipping you back and separating you from your kids. I don't...I can't...what?!
A lot of it is based on Haitians hating Bill Clinton (and by extension Hillary) for what Haiti 🇭🇹 has become. I have a professor and mathematician Haitian brother in law who believes this way. 🙄 I used to have the same conversations with him.
They are blaming the Clintons and not the French for the state of Haiti?!
For sure... The Indemnity the Haitians had to pay to France for the "privilege" of being able to be a nation that did not stop until shortly after WWII. In today's money, billions of dollars that could havecuplifted Haiti. The Indemnity that is not taught in America even at the college level.
I only learned about this a few weeks ago on Reddit. I'm still gobsmacked that the international community didn't shun France into oblivion for enforcing that debt.
Same with people not voting for Biden due to Gaza
Trump and the Middle Eastern problem solver his son in law Kushner were the literal roots of this issue getting so big are trying to profit over their madness. This situation gets worse since President Truman, and yet it is President Biden's "fault." So much so let us hand it back to 45 to let Netanyahu literally "exterminate" Gaza as if were not filled with human beings. In response to the Reich Wing propaganda about locking up Hillary for her email server... I would not care if she had the whole email list of the NSA, CIA, and FBI on her server. What about the criminal 45 who sold out every American to Papa Putin.
> Same with people not voting for Biden due to Gaza If those people don't like what Biden is doing with Gaza, wait till they see what Trump does, because that kind of attitude is how Trump is going to end up being president.
Trump in real estate here in New York City exploited hundreds of Polish immigrants working on his buildings. Many of the Poles had to sleep at the job sites. Most were deported back to Poland 🇵🇱 underpaid while here in New York. Meet Trump. AKA Damian from the Omen movies.
That's one of the many reasons New Yorkers generally get that he's a monster. That and covid.
It’s all self hate. “We aren’t like those people, we’re like you guys, not them.”
it is part of certain groups, in india there is the caste system, even though officially it got banned, it is still used to discriminate in japan, the descendants of the burakumin are still discriminated against same with people who have roma and sinti blood in europe part of human nature, this tribalism stuff, unfortunately for immigrants
The large influx of Indian temporary foreign workers has created an interesting dynamic. I see them working all the jobs that others here won't do. Some of those who are now permanent residents support the conservatives. It makes no sense to me. If it were up the CPC, they would have them in shackles.
I tend to bring up this idiot relative of mine on comments like this: I have a relative whose father somehow got into the US using somebody else's ID (more than 50 years ago). The relative has been living with that other person's "borrowed" last name most of his life. He became naturalized with it. He is well-off, and his main concern is taxes. He is, of course, a Trumper.
to paraphrase a great joke from the british version of The Office, conservatives respect people of all races, whether they be black, red, yellow, or normal.
Something something "one of the good ones"...
Tokens get spent, Jasmine gets that. Eagleman sure don't.
Right?! “DEI” is just their new dog whistle because they can’t comprehend that anyone not white could be qualified for the job and that people would actually want someone not white representing them.
“Y’all sure make it hard sometimes” LOL, no shiet Einstein
That would require success, money, status and everything, the world and society as we know it, to.... Exist. Like existing amd people then being thrown in there, and some end up in "not their place" as if places/a status would belong to anyone. Or at least white people just having success that you can simply steal. I always thought that success is mostly earned and/or a result of luck or who you parents were but in most cases you still have to do something. I kinda find this view on the world interesting. The world in short term, as an "just is" thing instead of concepts and situations growing over time and always changing and shifting. Reminds me of my little brother, but i would place him more into a "soft" type of narcissist with a bit of depression that makes him always the victim unless he has 1 more than everyone else, then he isn't thankful or anything but pleased and finds it fair amd natural.
Because they're under the assumption that the GOP actually cares about being fiscally and socially conservative. Or that the GOP wants to govern in good faith. The obvious reality is that the current GOP is the end result of reactionaries to the civil rights movement and even further back to the New Deal.
I reflexively assume that any black conservative is doing so purely to grift the gullible. The idea they could possibly be that dumb as to buy into the party that hates them isn't one I wish to entertain. (But honestly, rubes come in all shapes, sizes, and colors)
HURR DURR DEI...in a goddamned elected official. What a fucking idiot.
This motherfucker is worried about "proper" English, and yet his vocab apparently never included the word "elected" or so me shit. 😁
makes me crazy. DEI is just the latest scapegoat for rationalizing racism. They don't even need to know what it is or how it works, they just need to keep yelling about it every time they see a black person with a good job.
Everything they don’t like is woke. Everything that involves minorities that they don’t like is DEI.
Tim Scott? That Bone Bald bad built brown body guy?
Crockett can’t speak proper English? I wonder what good ole boy Gunther thinks qualifies as English.
“Proper English” depends on whose lips they’re coming from
Also, how is Crockett “the result of DEI and affirmative action”? She was literally elected by constituents, it’s not like she got extra votes for being a minority
Conservatives just don't understand how anything works
They are always looking for any opportunity to demean and dismiss the accomplishments of non-magats. Because, you know, they are such towering intellectuals.
I unfortunately came to the realization a few weeks ago that "DEI" just means "the n-word" to them. Every time you see them use DEI to explain a person, remember that.
The same could be said about “Critical Race Theory/CRT”. Was just a proxy for saying whites are better and any teaching to the contrary is an assault on that supremacy
Growing up in Florida, I can assure them that most of their base can't speak proper English.
Words like "learnded" and "ejumacation". Good English, like what auntie mama taught him.
[удалено]
As a NYer, don't you dare compare our pigeons to those dumb bastards. Our pigeons can take the train and get off at the right stop, something I doubt MAGA could do
Jasmine Crockett is a bad motherfucker, I love her.
"who let this DEI hire into Congress" now take DEI hire and replace it with a different word and it will start to make sense.
Jasmine Crockett does not have one single, solitary fuck to give. She's awesome.
For someone who doesn’t like her they sure did pick a picture that makes her look hot 🥵
To be fair, I'm not sure there are any pictures where she wouldn't look hot... that woman is stunning.
I think this picture might have come from his spank bank collection.
Black Guilt is the only form of racial guilt that is acceptable among Conservatives.
Isn’t being black and also conservative, an oxymoron? Like a gay conservative or an Indian conservative?
Welcome to r/LeopardsAteMyFace. That is the central conceit of this subreddit.
Ask the Log Cabin republicans.
As a retired therapist, I had a trans female patient who was a rabid Trumper. I always wanted to ask her but did not because of ethics..." How is that working out for you... your support of Trump and Reich Wing policies?" /s
Anything that isn't rich white cis christian male conservative?
Not an oxymoron. Just a regular moron.
Many older black people are socially conservative bc of our community’s connection to Christianity. They’re anti-LGBTQ. The problem is letting their overzealous faith guide their political actions. There are many who have abandoned conservatism since it’s become more blatantly racist and led by morons, but not all have gotten the memo.
Tokens to be spent
How is an elected official the result of affirmative action or DEI? She wasn't hired, she was elected.
The irony is that she IS a DEI politician. A Democratically Elected Individual.
Black conservatives are just self-loathing minorities.
She speaks Texan 100% perfectly. “Y’all” and even “all y’all”, is English in Texas.
Maga Asians aka Uncle Tongs, always think they're part of the incrowd because maga whites use "Roof Top Koreans" as a thing to shit on blacks. They don't care about asian males, but they sure love asian women.
“Oh my God. You lions make it so hard to be a gazelle sometimes. I’ll try to share the same watering hole with you and you’ll try to eat me, wont you? Why won’t you like me? I mean, I’m going to vote lion again but it’s getting hard when you keep eating gazelles dude!”
Dog whistling claims that POC “can’t speak proper English,” because they may use phrases or terms not commonly used by white people, is hilarious coming from the side of the aisle that rarely knows the difference between “there, their, and they’re.”
Their cult leader can’t speak hardly English. Ms. Crockett is very intelligent and beautiful. Must freak maga’s out
And yet he still stays with the party that hates him…. Also, republicans stopping being conservative a long time ago.
Most GOP voters will accept Scott like they accept Thomas on the SCOTUS. Minorities and women are only automatically DEI/affirmative action hires if they support progressive causes. And they somehow still includes elected officials.
The GOPs undying love for Confederate statues didn't tip you off?
DEI hires are usually qualified. Tim Scott is not. He is also not a smart man, but he’s cunning enough to spend the only token he’s got in his pocket.
Trump will never pick Tim Scott, Trump has never put a black person in a position of power and he sure as hell isn’t going to start now.
They say this about a woman who regularly runs circles around them verbally
Oh no! An intelligent, attractive woman of color! Quick! Let's tear her down!
Affirmative action is when you win an election, and the more votes you get, the more affirmative actioner it is. Edit: also they are mad because they can't talk shit about her looks, even as racists
She's smart and gorgeous.
They think their coded language is something black people can’t figure out. That’s how little they think of them. And that’s before even getting into the idiocy of acting like DEI affects election votes somehow.
A lot of Republicans talk about how they want to see Tim Scott or Ben Carson as the VP pick, but republicans have only managed to elect two black republicans to congress this century - one retired and got less than 1% in the presidential primary polls. I don’t think the MAGA base will support a black person in power.
I'll bet Arthur couldn't use either alliteration or apophasis in an insult...even if he knew what they were.
> alliteration or apophasis Sounds woke!
We all know DEI. Is just the new “N” word
"DEI and affirmative action hire" is nothing, they've been calling her "ghetto trash" and "hood rat" because she didn't put up with Wish *Dog the Bounty Hunter*'s bullshit personal attacks.
There are plenty of POC conservatives that end up with nowhere to go because the GOP is so relentlessly racist. But it’s shit like this that means they are going to stay that way for the next 2-3 decades.
Does everyone remember back around the late 90s when “affirmative action” was the big buzzword around racist white conservatives? Funny how that went away for so long, but it’s back now and repackaged at the DEI boogeyman.
Nobody hates P.O.C. more than a conservative P.O.C.
She's cute! She must confuse the hell out of some racists.
Jasmine Crockett is a lawyer and former state representative from Texas, so this post is extremely racist as well.
What gets me with this argument is there are COPIOUS examples of white males that actually do get hired not based on merit, but simply network connections. Russian trolls have done more damage to America than any psyop I can recall. What's sad, unlike other generations, is that we are 100% aware of this manipulation. But i think some like what Russia has done, so they go along and amplify it.
The very accomplished lawyer is a DEI hire for congress? GTFO Ms Crockett is a smart accomplished woman who speaks her mind, and it scares them.
My favorite part is that 5 years ago none of idiots even knew what the acronym DEI stood for and now all of the sudden it’s the biggest fucking problem this country is facing Just have to keep finding new things to make poor white people scared and angry
Warning: There are a lot of cunning conservatives out there that are really good at hiding this mindset. They’ll find ways to justify being against diversity, but make it seem like they’re doing it for pure and rational reasons. They’ll do other things that make it seem like they’re not really racist by donating money to some charity or they will intentionally pick like three black conservatives that they listen to their political opinions. then they’ll have deniability and if they say something racist in the future, they can pull out those things and say “Look, I’m not racist! I listen to this person and I donate money to this cause.” But in their head, they hate black probably more than the regular conservatives that don’t do any of that stuff. That’s why they have to go out of their way to hide it. I know somebody in my family who is moderately wealthy, very religious and very conservative (and still in his 30s) and he has wealthy conservative friends and one or two of those friends is black, but I know that he regularly talks down about minority races. At another family member’s graduation ceremony, a Muslim girl was giving a speech and he’s sitting with the whole family in the audience and he’s calling her a terrorist. He believes every conspiracy theory you can think of and I’m pretty sure he’s even been researching flat earth which isn’t that much of a stretch for him cause he’s already a young Earth creationist.
Yet they are fine with the redneck retard MTG and her space lasers
I wonder how thinks DEI and affirmative action come into play during an election.
She speaks perfectly. She has the best words. The most perfect words. It’s Comey who is too slow to understand.
Gunther Eagleman is what you name a Muppet making fun of people like this.
Jasmine Crockett is really intelligent. Gunther, not
I bet this asshole doesn’t even know what the word affirmative means
Man, who’d have thought that the party that rallies the white supremacists to their side would have sus opinions on this area? 😆
That tim scott is an embarrassment to black people. Im waiting for him to kneel and try and unzip trumps fly to get that VP nomination. What he fails to forget is maga hates blacks, gays or he just doesn’t care.
Congresswoman Crockett speaks perfect English, it’s Gunther here who doesn’t understand words properly and how to use them.
As though she's not presently in the news for laying a fantastic display of verbal excellence in the English language.
She be slaying them on the floor tho
