I don’t think this is entirely true idk if we get trump without Obama. He completely broke their “brain”.
Their brains were broken. Obama didn't make them anything. This was inevitable. This is their nature.
trump getting roasted by obama got him to run but even before the maga takeover the tea party started to take hold bc of obama being elected it clearly energized the racist vote which enabled the take over
I just dont think this country is ready for the level of racism that this new level of republican shit head will unleash if it's harris
Shit really did change after 2008 though. Might be more due to the rise of social media and all these imbeciles being able to feed off each other now that I think of it
Ok so Obama's election precipitated racist anger, but it didn't cause their insanity. They are insane because they are
I truly believe you’re under estimating how much they hated having a black man with power. I’m not suggesting she shouldn’t be the pick because what racist assholes think and will do, but we have to be ready for the reprehensible shit that’s gonna come out if she is announced.
I really think people have underestimated the permission structure running Biden, who clearly can’t complete four more years, creates with people who don’t like Trump.
Add in her gender too. A black woman will bring out all the worst parts. We had countless women saying Hillary didn't have the disposition to be president b/c she was an emotional woman. Now we've got a black woman and it's going to be 10x stronger and 10x louder.
Didn't some alt right person try to push some story that her relatives owned slaves so she was in fact a slave owner and couldn't talk bad about slavery.....some wild shit
No, I agree with you. I just hate framing it like Obama was the cause. Their own fucked up brains were the cause
There's no Mccain to take the mic back from the unhinged lunatic, they will continue to be unhinged lunatics that look absolutely nuts.
I think it’s a semantics argument with Obama “causing” this. Obviously he didn’t create racism, and it would take too long to explain exactly what I mean. So honestly we are probably saying the same thing or something extremely similar.
There's really no evidence of a racial or gendered electoral tax so I wish people would stop assuming it's real
They were fucked, but if you don't think Obama was the cause of the Freedom Caucus and the the downward hellscape spiral we've been in since 2008 then you're delusional
There have been thousands of elections so unless you're saying they will only show up in national ones which is very dumb no there isn't evidence
The fun thing is that biden stepping aside as president when hes too old means Kamala and that absolutely is something to run on. Trump is too huge of a selfish asshole to campaign on someone taking his place if he falls apart
2008 and 2012 had the largest black voter turnout in any election since 1964. "Race has nothing to do with it"
it's also only that close, in part, because she's a woman or at least that's what I told myself to make sure I didn't think half of this country is as awful as they've shown to be
I'm sorry some of you are either stuck in 2015 or maybe just recently started educating yourselves about politics but this is embarrassing. Embarrassing
or you think you are 900 IQing this when you are vastly overrated the simpleton-ness of this country's voters
The fundamentals of that election were a coin flip. She did average. Did y'all not take stats or probability in college these concepts are simple
