What if you're not white and vote for him, or if you're white and not a SuPrEmAcIsT? I'm not voting for him but I am curious on where the answer stands with these two scenarios.
If you watch someone piss in a milk carton and then offer you a bowl of cereal the next morning, and you accept, it’s because you’re either into it or really, really out of it.
I like this answer best.
Well this didn't have to do with either and didn't happen so I can't really respond to this fake scenario.
Nobody expects you to understand a metaphor. It's for the rest of us to lol at.
Fake scenarios like asking 'what if I support a bigot without being a bigot?'
FFS, use your fucking brain, man!
Some republicans aren't hateful bigots. Some of them are ignorant morons.
I can agree to this, you make a very good point. I'm neither dem or repub I just like to ask questions.
You sound like that dumb fuck Alex Jones.
Yes, we know your type.
why the fuck are you voting for someone who made his own private militarized police force to protect his interests like a stereotypical cold war era dictator
If you saw a house burning down and you did nothing to stop the flames, wouldn't you say that that person wanted the house to burn down?
If you are not actively against white supremacists, you are allowing them to spread and flourish. It's like a weed. If you don't pull it, it's going to take over your beds.
People who aren't into white-supremacy are not the target audience of his imagined fond recollections of some ancestor's plantation.
Fair enough point.
Lol
