Just, wtf
(lemmy.world)
Elect a racist. Get racism.
About 4 or 5 years ago, I was at a relative's house -- The relative was one of those people that basically watch Fox News 24/7. So, unfortunately I was exposed to the literal propaganda that is Fox News. Calling it propaganda is literally and understatement.
Anyway, at one point during the 5 o'clock "news", they aired a segment that featured Democrats in congress. They played the audio feed from whatever hearing or whatever was going on, but the video feed was a bunch of chimpanzees in a zoo setting.
So, what happened today is nothing new. This is who conservative Republicans in the USA are and have always been.
More importantly, reach out to people in your life, and especially people of color. What happened today is absolutely disgusting, and a lot of people are/were already struggling with things. A bit of kindness, connection with others goes a long way. Community and connections are especially critical in these times, and checking in with your friends, family, and neighbors is basically the least you can do, but also one of the most impactful things you can do right now.
You're not wrong, and playing a video feed of chimpanzees while Democrat representatives are speaking is dumb, but I imagine it was a mix of colors and genders. Putting the former PoC president and his wife's faces on fucking apes is another level. It's a very old, very specific, and very intentional act of racism...
No point carrying water for racists. Regardless of the skin tone, racism is the point.
I don't understand how any rational person could fall for the ploy that "some of those politicians had pale skin!!!"
Black Republicans: "I sure hope that's fake or you guys apologize"
How the hell could it be fake and you know he won't, but keep towing that party line.
Can Mother Nature PLEASE remove him asap. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Can Mother Nature make it start raining men? Well, one man in particular…
Just shows how much you can extend someone's life with modern medicine.
If they are rich.
And an asshole, that keeps people alive more than any medical science.
Bruh....
Is that a real post? That can't possibly be real.... Is it?
But also, hearing both Barack and Michelle speak and then seeing their faces like this still brings me positive, constructive joy. Seriously. Go listen to an interview with either of them and you'll feel your whole body stop tensing.
😔 it’s real. He posted it, then took it down after outrage and claimed “a staffer” made it.

That was cute, we could always use more wholesome content like this on here.
that was good, thank you
The Supreme Orange Turd is a complete imbecile, what did you expect?
I'm old enough to recall Bush political cartoons, he was constantly a monkey clown for our amusement. I'm fine with any President being portrayed as a monkey, personally.
But this struck me immediately as deeply racist. I think it's because of the attack on the former first lady? It's a visceral reaction.
What did she ever do to anybody?
Be black?
I mean who knew electing a disgusting racist paedophile would result in that? Better elect him again.
But I just didn’t know enough about her! And she had a weird laugh!
The racist loser who is mentioned "38,000 +" can f-himself.
Do you think Obamas will go to Trump's funeral? Do you think they should?
I hope they don’t… but I also know they probably will because “the high road.”
Agree. I think everyone should skip to make a point but my guess is most politicians will go to 'show respect for the office'. Most of them are spineless PR machines.
I have a two part question:
I’m not familiar enough with the Lion King. Can you tell me the names of these ape characters they’re supposed to portray?
And the follow up: Do these names appear in the Epstein files as much as Donald Trumps?
There are no apes in the Lion King. There is a monkey named Rafiki, the colorful-faced mandrill who holds Simba up at the ceremony in the beginning.
Everyone knows this is what he's doing, and it's still working.
Doing shit like this without consequences is a virtue to his base. Same with hypocrisy. They know this was vile, if they didn't it wouldn't be funny to them. They know when he's being hypocritical. But has the power to do it anyway, and that makes him godlike to MAGA chuds.
"You know who isn't in the Epstein files? Barack Obama. You know who actually improved the economy as president? Barack Obama," he added.
He is mentioned in the files several times, but negatively i.e. the pedo elites didn't like him. Which, ironically, only paints Obama in an even better light.
Not to mention, Donald looks like an old Doctor Zaius.
It says a lot that this somehow makes him look more normal
The beard is doing a lot of heavy lifting here
That's why Ted Cruz wears one. It's a load bearing beard.
Only when he's on vacation.
Hides the nussy
Love the little hand. Manitas Trump.
