Late Thursday night, President Donald Trump posted a short video which included a horrifically racist image portraying former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes.
This was ugly and inexcusable, but not exactly a surprise. Trump has been a vile racist for his entire adult life and has said and promoted vile racism over his last 10 years in and out of the White House. This time, though, was different — not really because of the content, but because of the backlash from within his own party.
The video and its racism were denounced by a wide range of Republicans, including staunch Trump allies. As far as the GOP is concerned, the disgusting video seems to be the worst thing Trump has done since the 2021 insurrection.
The only reason he posted it was so people talked about it instead of Epstein.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they told Republicans to pretend to be offended just so it would become a story.
Stop falling for obvious distractions
The GOP have been silent during this entire Epstein saga. This has to do with them losing in special elections. That’s why they finally woke up.
They haven’t “woken up” that’s the entire point I’m trying to make.
trump posting this video distracts from Epstein, but what’s more distracting is some Republicans who are in the greatest threat of losing their seats getting a chance to distance from trump. Which starts another cycle of people talking about it instead of Epstein.
Oh my god, it was a figure of speech.
One that you used incorrectly…
Who gives a shit? This was my point that you ignored: “The GOP have been silent during this entire Epstein saga. This has to do with them losing in special elections.”
Right…
And there’s even more wrong with that comment than what I pointed out…
But if explaining one thing is this difficult, why the fuck would I try explaining multiple things at once to you?
Hell, at this point I don’t think I’ll ever be able to help you understand anything.
You’re on your own bud, best of luck
I don’t think he opened up his laptop, created the video, then posted it himself. It’s best to keep in mind that there are other people behind this. Someone had the idea, someone produced a few versions, someone approved one, someone posted it. And he got to reap the reward while dodging responsibility. They’re all guilty.
The regime is more than one person
I think it has more to do with people not talking about him trying to nationalize the elections. Using ICE to intimidate voters in democratic centers, Usng the SAVE act disproportionately disenfranchise groups more likely to be democrats: women, people of colour, low income, or young voters. These are key issues which need pushback on this year.
