Sometimes I have to stop strangers on the street just to show them when I just read on my phone, because I don’t fucking believe what I just read on my phone. This is one of those times. Three other people just said, “what the fuck” because they couldn’t believe what they just read. I just shared shocking disbelief with three strangers.

This is been happening for 8 1/2 years because of this asshole. I’m sick and tired of it. Also the fascism. Especially the fascism.

Did you see the actual video of him saying it? Unhinged!

sorry, I deleted my instagram, like, 5 years ago along with FB and Twitter because they’re garbage and hate funneled directly into your soul to drain it for corporate profit. do you have a link that will play without be covering myself in spyware an literal poison and shit just to watch a tiny video clip?

Every time I hear his voice, a piece of me dies.

[-] PhAzE@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

What do you think will actually happen if he wins the election? I'm not American, and that scares the shit out of me that he could win.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

there’s waaaay too much that could happen between now and then to know if that’s even a possibility at this point. I really don’t know what to think at this point. shit, either or both Trump and Biden could die suddenly, and if could be Harris vs Haley, and who the fuck knows what that would be like?

all I know is that I’m terrified.

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 59 points 9 months ago

Every so often, something makes me take a step back and just wonder how the fuck we got here. Like, really, him? He's a former president? That happened? What the actual fuck.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 21 points 9 months ago

I do the same, but mine is: He's the frontrunner? Really? WTF?"

[-] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Yeah I gotta say I don't 100% believe he's really the frontrunner. I say it's all "magical thinking" but that would imply, you know, thinking.

[-] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 4 points 9 months ago

I guess I should have noted Republican front runner.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

We never hold anyone accountable for terrible shit. That and lack of education.

All with a heavy dose of lead.

[-] sturmblast@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Every single day.

[-] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 40 points 9 months ago

You know that old trope of black people who owe $350 million from decades of corporate fraud. So relatable.

[-] hOrni@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago

Next time he'll just say "Black people like me, because I'm a criminal. And they are also all criminals."

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 18 points 9 months ago

Black People: "We're constantly under threat of being killed by police and denied services because of our skin color. We're being discriminated against!"

Racist White People: "I'm being indicted for crimes I committed. I'm being discriminated against just like those black people!"

[-] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Meanwhile enjoying the wealth they accumulated as a result of their crime. Freely given positions of power. With an army of lawyers paid for by other racist rubes.

Yeah, just like a person of color.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 9 months ago

Might as well keep it real

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 24 points 9 months ago

JFC, the mental filters are long gone.

[-] fox2263@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

I’m just waiting for him to drop an N bomb. It’s got to be coming.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

he won’t because

  1. he loves playing the game of dancing around the word and issue of racism because he thinks it makes him look smart, but it just makes us all see how racist he really is
  2. he doesn’t need to because he is able to employ (and even invent) a litany of racist dog-whistles instead to get his points across.
  3. the man is such a blistering boil of pus and hate that the N-word is… forgive me for saying… beneath him. His racist rhetoric operates at a much higher level than simple slurs.
[-] droans@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

I'd say that's too far even for him... But he's literally claiming black people like him because he's a criminal.

He's showing that he's more racist than we gave him credit for. And we already thought he was crazy racist.

[-] TechNerdWizard42@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

He'll play it off that he was speaking Chinese to his Asian voters and saying "that one".

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago

That's pretty racist ~~Colin~~ Donald.

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Well, if he actually believes that shit, let him.

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
