    How would Trump react if Obama released a video depecting him as an anal wart and Melania as the pool boy’s pole dancer? I would pay money to find out.

    doesnt really matter, he trafficked, tortured, and raped hundreds, if not thousands of women and children during his lifetime.

    and may have also commited cannabilism, it seems.

    Everyone who would have posted something racist and vile like this just 2 years ago would have been expelled from school or college or lost their job.

    This is absolutely insane.

    Also this guy is a pedofile and rapist without any morals.

      This is what undoing decade worth of progression in less than a year looks like. With such progressive movements, people who oppose it go into social hiding and come out when the time is right. If the progression hasn’t lasted enough to become a societal reflex then it can be toppled easily. That is what we are seeing with things like LGBQT+ rights, DEI, inclusivity etc in the US

      So essentially a sex offender, lets not forget there is a word specifically for this purpose.

          There are sex offenders who don’t touch kids

          I think you meant pedophiles, since its an attraction. Sex offenders are people who already offended; therefore, touched kids.

          I can agree with the last part, there is no excuse he can make to change the situation for him or others. Also he might be a nepophile, which really highlights the vile part.

            I don’t think you know the definition of sex offender, it doesn’t always mean someone’s done something to kids. You can be a sex offender and only attacked adults. Hell, you can be a sex offender without even touching another person. So “sex offender” isn’t enough here. A “pedophile sex offender works”, but even then it doesn’t show that he has done the worst sex crime that can make you a sex offender, so I’d say it’s still not enough. A “child rapist” is really the best way to ensure everyone knows exactly what he’s done.

      I don’t… What? If Biden posted this they’d call it based, racism is literally one of the right’s only actual principles. And Biden did have Ice kidnap people off the streets, he just didn’t give them mea culpa to execute people or celebrate the cruelty.

      They WOULD tear into him for being in the Epstein files, though.

    I remember seeing Obama sworn in on the break room TV at work. People still didn’t say the quiet part out loud back then, but you could tell they were fucking seething about him getting elected.

    “Look how smug he is.” “She’s ugly.” “Just a disgrace.” “I bet they’re all happy now.”

    The people who would go on to become the MAGA of today, as well as Trump and so many others, will never let Obama’s victory go. They’ll never forgive him for being black, successful, and worst of all, more popular than they are.

    Even if Obama disappeared from the public consciousness today, or it was discovered that he’s committed some horrible crime and he goes to jail, they’d still feel that his getting elected was an unforgivable insult towards them on a personal level.

    That’s the kind of mentality we’re dealing with.

      His election complete broke the minds of a lot of people. We’re in the situation we’re in in part (most of this started long long ago) because their hate finally boiled over.

        I think it stole a sense of security from them. It’s like they assumed that because MLK day was a bank holiday no one needed to be upset about anything anymore, we could keep electing old white guys until the sun burns out, and no one would ever think they’re the bad guys for maintaining the status quo.

      Trump saying the N-word is so expected that it would barely make a ripple. He obviously shit himself on camera the other day, and it barely made the Internet.

              You use the Epstein Files to distract from the Foreign Invasions, and Federal Death Squads employing spontaneous firing squads against American citizens to distract from the Epstein Files, but what to you do to distract from all of it?

      In this case I think it’s distraction.

      It’s amazing how easy it was to subvert all checks and balances and criticisms by just always having a few more awful things ready to go.

      Video showing your paramilitary murdering citizens, boom release some Epstein files

      Credible evidence that you are a pedophile, boom racist meme

      People upset about racism, boom attack trans kids or something.

      As long as there are a couple outrage plates spinning he can always just wander over to another one if people start getting too upset.
