Casey Finnigan posted:Nah, that's the one magic line that white racists can't cross. White people are able to justify literally any level of racism as long as they don't say "I'm a racist." Openly stating that they're racist is the one thing that I think will not happen with Republicans. How can you even say this, at this point? For 3 years we've all been saying, "sure, this is bad, but they won't do X" and like a month later Trump does X. At this point, nothing is off limits, nothing is off the table, and he will continue to push the envelope as long as Fox & Friends and the rally crowds approve of it. No joke, in the very near future I see this exact scenario playing out: *Someone at a rally yells the N-word about Omar (or whatever PoC he is targeting that day)* Trump: *Smiles, tilts his head as if to say "welllllll....when you're right you're right" and then says "You said it, not me.......but......." *Crowd cheers* edit: cat and dog tax https://twitter.com/purpleunicorn55/status/1150766565761011712

On top of the reasons everyone else gave, I think a big part is so that they can deny being anti-Semitic while copying the Nazi playbook and ranting about Soros.

If there is solid evidence Trump was a pedophile rapist with Epstein that would get the "establishment" to turn on him, but the party is dead The base is a cult and would refuse to believe it, just like the rest of reality

He had gone out of his way to accommodate liberals and moderates, and to accommodate the Kremlin. He was raising taxes, spending like crazy, welcoming wetbacks, pursuing arms control. One common cry from the right was, "None of this would be happening if Ronald Reagan were alive." Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. quote:I explained that, in the offending passage, or allegedly offending passage, I was reflecting or parodying a mindset: the mindset of certain Reagan critics on the right.

FizFashizzle posted:That would do nothing. Yeah see that's the thing. I feel like we missed our window for that to have an impact. Like the virus has taken over the bloodstream now, and I think we're way past the point where a shocking event like that would have caused our cultural system to reject him like a rogue virus. Now we're just used to it and such a tape wouldn't even really be a level jump from where we currently are. Its shock value is nil. I'm really just sick about all of this. Sick to my stomach and my depression and lack of hope for the future are switched all the way on right now. These are really bad times and I do wonder if we're able to pull out of them. My hopeful side thinks that despite any infighting, 2020 will be this huge, strong rebuke of his bullshit because in my heart I know he's speaking to maybe 30% of the country tops, but yeah in the darkest parts of my psyche I wonder if it's too late for that now. I don't know. Gotta keep fighting to the last either way though.

twice burned ice posted:https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1151842309320904704 It's a range of things. Mostly he's a dumbass and they are also dumbasses so they aren't really hearing what he's saying, they're just assuming it's what they want to hear, which also works well with bigotry. They also assume Trump can't come right out and just say some stuff, even though he is coming right out and saying it. It's like glossolalia, it's gibberish but true believers understand it, because if you don't understand it then you aren't a true believer. Got it?

Right. 100% agree. And the true believers working for him (like Miller) do know this and are actively working to gently caress the system from within. That's what scares me too.
