Yay! At last, united around an explicitly racist agenda.
I wish people understood that. The disdain and scorn people in most of my universe rain down upon Trump supporters is the nastiest, most condescending, elitist shit you can imagine. It's no different from racism, but without the race aspect. The Trump supporters I know actually don't fit the model of the banjo-twanging rabid redneck retards that the Snooty Dems think they are.
The only redneck banjo player I know personally (and very well) correctly thinks Trump is a racist beast. That is because he understands English, including the debased English used by Donald Trump, which is quite explicit and clear to everyone except his apologists when they happen to traffic with people who do not like him. It's like that. Most people who play instruments well also have a bit of those curious qualities known as empathy and the ability to understand communications, which, in regard to Trump, you clearly lack, no matter how clearly he tells you what he is about.
This is perhaps the most embarrassing and ridiculous statement you have ever made on this board. White man, man who has always been identified as White or as "just a guy" by strangers when he walks down the street, man who has no clue, it is so sad and disheartening that anyone needs to explain this to you. And I know also how pointless it is of me to do so. But let's do it, for the record:
Two years ago, Trump supporters were not Trump supporters. There wasn't a single one, because there was no Trump campaign. No one was ever born a Trump supporter. "Trump supporters" were not born with exterior characteristics that identified them as members of this group to the society in which they grew up, from infancy forward. They were not subjected to systemic and socially approved prejudice on the basis of exterior characteristics, unless of course they happened to be born black or something comparable, in which case they were, but not because in some future they would make the CHOICE to be Trump supporters. No one ever knows someone is a Trump supporter if they do not identify themselves as such. They never have to fear automatic attention and possible violence from the police on the basis of their exterior characteristics, before even doing anything or opening their mouths. They were never offered higher interest rates on a loan, or denied for one, on the basis of their exterior characteristics.
Trump supporters were never owned as chattel slaves, murdered in lynchings as a regular festival event, had their leaders targeted for assassination, or had their churches burned, all because they happened to be born with certain exterior characteristics, and independently of their other qualities, opinions, beliefs, actions or affiliations. Other than that and about a thousand other things, hey, thinking Trump supporters are stupid based on the things they actually say they believe, voluntarily, is just like racism. Something of which you obviously know nothing, which is inexcusable.
The first person I can remember from my youth who made a statement that prejudice against men with moronic opinions and moronic voluntary associations (with groups that engage in systematic mob violence) was "no different than racism" was, for the record, a skinhead. He was trying to defend the brutal beating of a friend of mine by his fellow skinheads the day before. (He may have been among them.) That's your associate here. I often think you can do better than this, but no more. The KKK that just endorsed Trump, that's your associate now. Own it, or show some fucking minimum of class and acknowledge the awesome horribleness of what you just said, and maybe actually think and revise before you post your racist trash here.
