This leaky headed geriatric piece of shit can go fuck himself

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 22 points 2 years ago

Never ceases to amaze me how US politics is so full of incoherently babbling clowns.

Electing ~~Obama~~ Trump has 'taken us back 40 or 50 years on race relations'

fixed that for ya, Rudy

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 39 points 2 years ago

Like, this is the laziest attempt at projecting I've seen in a while. It's like watching someone become more bigoted as their facilities deteriorate from dementia, and it's just sad to watch.

Yeah, because all those tiki torch marches happened under Obama? Hmmm... good people on both sides? Well all the Black Lives Matters protests... no? Not Obama either?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 50 points 2 years ago

See, if you just hadn't scared those white people by electing a black president, things would've been so much better!

[-] schema@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago

It's basic abuser mentality. "Because a black person has dared to become president, you forced us to be more racist and divisive."

[-] sndmn@lemmy.ca 68 points 2 years ago

Does he think Obama is still the president?

I think it’s time we send Rudy to live on a farm upstate.

[-] TacoNissan@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

I live upstate and we don't want him up here

Even from a right/conservative view of things this makes no sense. Obama was a fucking legal scholar. He'd learned CRT in the context of law and brought it to bear not at all in a social context.

Thats not fair. Theres more to conservatism than Racism.

Theres also the misogyny, and xenophobia, hatred for the lower classes.

Maybe it took Guiliani back 40 years. He was at about 1920 before but he seems closer to 1880 now.

This feels like an onion article

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago

Yeah, because all the creepy weirdos on the right absolutely FREAKED OUT that a "Kenyan usurper" was selected by We, The People to run the country.

Remember how ecstatic all these freaks were when OJ won just the EC? The memes of showing how OJ - King of the Birthers - was eclipsing Obama?

I'm sure none of those feelz from the right had anything to do with racism.

“We would have all stayed under our rocks if YOU hadn’t forced us to freak out by electing a black guy”.

[-] athos77@kbin.social 31 points 2 years ago

The right-wing reactionary response to Obama's election set race relations back.

So his racisism is Obama's fault.

Why does Rudy think he has an opinion worth listening to on this matter?

Or anything else, really.

"Trump gets into I think a psychological illness they have about Trump," he said. "Trump derangement syndrome is real — so obsessive."

The only people who suffer from TDS worse than the far left liberals who froth at the mouth at the mere mention of his name ...are his supporters.

[-] HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee 36 points 2 years ago

the far left liberals who froth at the mouth at the mere mention of his name

You mean the people who fear living in a theocratic dictatorship roughly twelve months from now? Yes, god forbid we're a little upset at the idea.

The right suffers from Trump Delusion Syndrome

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Hey Rawstory, less reporting on what they say, more reporting on what they did, thanks.

[-] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago

Wait...it was just about ten years ago that they were saying racism was over because we had a Black president. Make up your mind, Rudolph.

[-] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Translation: when we elected Obama it upset the racists so badly they had a great big meltdown about it

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
