Hard to imagine being a black republikkklown. Not only are you selling out your family, you’re selling your soul. It’s pretty pathetic to be honest.
But sooooo lucrative.

It’s a complex issue.
Some are self hating, some are of a house servant mentality, some believe they will be spared if they kowtow hard enough, some even legit believe in segregation SO HARD they are welcome amongst old rich white men as almost equals.
Some just want lower taxes and don’t care about fascism.
This year GOP groups started making the argument that Kamala Harris and Vivek Ramaswamy are ineligible to be president because you have to be white to be a citizen.
That should be every minority dropping the GOP like a hot rock. For notes on what it looks like if you help the people who want to take your rights away win, watch the first season of Handmaid’s tale. Specifically the subplot of Serena Joy, the commander’s wife. They do not care. The person next to you might care. Your husband might care. Your white friend might care. But the people in charge are going to strip your rights anyways.
Maybe he means politicians? He doesn’t have a good track record for recognizing people are black.
/s he’s racist as fuck.
He’s talking about GOP Reps, right? Right?
Trump’s not racist. He has never said a racist thing in his life! /s
Perhaps he is talking about JD
Trumpanzee Repubs still need to see a signed and notarized affidavit of racism before they’ll own up to it.

Does “Trumpanzee Repubs” imply black republican (given the post’s context)? If so, that’s offensive as fuck. Even if it doesn’t imply black republican, I’d still avoid ever using that term ever again, just in case.
You think that’s meant to mean black Republicans in the context of a comment complaining about Donald’s racism?
No, I think it’s a poor choice and one that you can easily avoid in future. It skirts really close to racial if not fully over the line.
I really hope none of the 11 or 12 black Republicans in existence ever come across this post because they’d be piiiiissed.
Why does your mind immediately jump to black people at the mention of chimpanzees? Sounds like you’re the one with bias that needs unpacking.
Because it’s been a way to dehumanize black people for literal centuries. And it hasn’t gone away as doctored pictures of the Obamas can attest to.
Maybe as a person of color I might be a little sensitive to racial slurs being thrown around. You know, a lifetime of that shit does tend to get to you after a bit. Is that enough unpacking for you or does I need more justification for you to grace me with your blessings?
“Trumpanzee” or any other possibly racially charged bullshit, especially when we are talking about racism, is not something that needs defending.
No, it implies his cult are as smart as a chimp, and about as docile.
And even then they’ll act like it doesn’t matter.
Dude come on. We’re literally talking about racism. Black people have been compared to monkeys for centuries, this isn’t new.
I don’t recall comparing black people to monkeys. You don’t want anyone comparing Trumpers to apes?
I think I recall respecting some of your other comments, so I will definitely take it under advisement, though.
I like the term because it is rude and describes that they are outrage- and fear-addicted Fox News watchers who don’t care about long term success for the country. I wish there was something comparably derisive to replace it with.
I’m going to respond to both of your comments here since it looks like Lemmy hiccuped somehow.
There’s plenty of terms off the top of my head, sheeple, orange cultists, Ya’ll Qaeda, idiots, etc.
Using references to monkeys, especially in a discussion about racism doesn’t need anyone to reference black people. That is the reference. Here’s some good reading on the subject.
If you want to use the ancient form of it I would make sure to declare a noun as being ape-like. “Trump supporters are a bunch of scared apes.”
Incorrect. They would then disbelieve the validity of signatures and affidavits. Lol
This reminds me of a trump impersonator i talked to at a kendrick lamar concert. I asked him what he thought of kendrick, he responded with oh hes one of the good ones, very talented very talented.
nailed it
I heard it the moment he said it
You could almost hear him say the silent words… out loud
“You see, some negroes can be nearly as smart as white folk. It is hard to believe, I know, but it can happen. Then of course you have the rest who act as god intended them to; in a manner to test the strength of the white man’s tolerance.”
– Trump’s not so subtle subtext.Checkout the fake blue collar workers behind him. Nice clothes are hair + a hard hat. Also, who wears a hart hat to a rally speech? Are they expecting debris to fall from above?
It’s always such a fake ass clown show from this weirdo.
(Edit: that said, the guy on the far left is legit, but the two guys in white dress shirts, and the woman who just hit up the styling wand are hilarious. All those hats are brand new)
To be fair, you can say the same thing about white people. Some of us aren’t smart.
You can say the same thing about almost any group of people. But you shouldn’t.
what! gladys! vernon is over here with his gibberish! can you tell him to tell her to tell that internet person to SPEAK LOUDER
But you CAN say it about ALL people, and it rings true even there.
Across all classes, ethnic groups, political ideologies, religions or lack thereof: A good chunk of humanity is just pants-on-head stupid. More than we want to admit.
I’d rather quote MIB: “a person is smart, people are stupid, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.”

my thoughts actually jumped to “scummy politicians” but your explanation also makes sense
If you really wanted to squint and put your fingers in your ears and hum, you might possibly be able to interpret him as talking about congresspeople.
But he was actually talking about black people, so that isn’t necessary.
Thank you for explaining it. I have been confused about this for hours. I thought he was talking about congress members. I don’t think I could have ever figured it out.
This was my take from this as well.
I mean, it’s possible he could have been talking about politicians or government people or something… But he certainly wasn’t. He could have, he did not.
It’s only vague enough to convince those living in a trough of disillusionment to be convinced that he wasn’t blatantly being racist here.
Maybe Republicans would be a reasonable take, although I don’t know anything about this guy to say he’s smart, but Republicans tend to be “not quite so good.”
Obviously, this is not what Trump meant, but also he was a Democrat before he realized how easy Republicans were to dupe, so he is aware of this fact.
Is Trump aware of anything at this point?

One Of The Good Ones™.
That’s not even a dog whistle. That’s just out in the open racism.
I didn’t even connect the dots with his skin colour damn wtff. I hope every black American turns against him for this. Show trump how smart they really are…
