Any black person supporting an outspoken racist like Trump is just fucking stupid.
Straight up. He’d already been openly racist, specifically against Somalis….and everyone fucking else.
At this point we should just admit we fucked up…conservatives are an incurable cancer, and just nuke the fucking thing from orbit. I have no hope when people are this stupid.
I know a gay Trump supporter. He's ecstatic about what's going on and I know I have better people to give a shit about if he ever gets hauled away.
This doesn’t surprise me.
I got a job as a chef at a queer piano bar a few years back. Up until that point I had kind of put gay people on a pedestal…like…I thought all the adversity made them innately virtuous.
But while working there I had the stupidest revelation I’ve ever had: Queer people are, in fact, exactly like other people. What I mean by that is my big eureka was that some gay people that are terrible people, some are great people, and every shade in between. Some of the most openly transphobic people I’ve met, for example, are from the gay community.
This person is a family friend who I've, unfortunately, heard talk about his life. His family is incredibly toxic and he just normalized it. About two years ago, I heard him ranting about how Metrosexuals ruined his gaydar and I told him I hadn't heard anyone use that word in over ten years. He also hates lesbians, but trans people haven't come up. I doubt he cares for them.
Oh yeah…in my experience gay men can be very mean to lesbians. I had a drag king dishwasher who was continuously sexually harassed by staff and customers…they said vile things to her on the daily. Some refused to call her by her “stage” name…despite having no problem with drag queens.
Why the racist comment?
Any person supporting Trump is just fucking stupid.
I don’t think it’s racist to point out that someone who is a member of a group that Trump has been explicitly racist against is extra dumb for supporting them. I don’t think anyone should support the guy but I only oppose him out of a sense of empathy and sympathy. This guy is extra dumb because he shouldn’t be a supporter out of sheer self interest.
because anybody non-white was obviously being targeted
It's now literal US government policy that if you talk about "Equality" you will be fired by the government.
There's a word for somebody that doesn't support equality of rights: its a segregationist.
Well, I wouldn't directly call it racist. It would have been the same if the Orange would have promised to sell Alaska back to the Russians and an Alaskan still voted for him.
Or a person who likes democracy and freedom voted...oh well..shit..I show myself out.
