It sucks that he's having to deal with all that, but seriously I have to wonder what did he expect would happen when he chose to support an organization that has made it clear that they despise his entire race?
If you only ever watch Fox News and newsmax, then you think dems are the racists
He may be trying to help all the poor oppressed white folk. I doubt it, but if he's gone clear around the bend he might believe it.
I have a theory that some don’t realize they are the token black man/woman or just enjoy the attention of the role
I have no sympathy for opportunists like this guy. I just don't buy that they don't know who they've gotten involved with. They know full well, but are so unscrupulous that they would sell out their own mother for the prospect of power and influence. It was people like this that helped Hitler to power in his day: The Nazi terror regime was only possible because Hitler was supported by conservatives and influential businessmen who saw him as a means to an end and thought they could control him. We all know how that went.
What you are saying is a reasonable take on all points. I do think that there are those people who sign on to an idea or cause and can never shake it. Similar to a gambling addiction or conspiracy beliefs like Flat Earthers. Being called a slave by his conservative mates isn’t enough to break through, I hate to think how much pain is required before his reality shifts.
Yes, this attitude is also widespread among cult members, who often allow themselves to be excessively exploited by their leaders. I assume that the "teachings" they adhere to have somehow become part of their personality, an identity-forming factor. Realizing that they are being taken advantage of would mean that they have dedicated their lives to a lie, which is of course difficult to admit. These mechanisms are certainly complex and often built on elaborate scams. Nevertheless, I have to say that I also have little sympathy for such obviously instrumentalized people when they actively and often aggressively try to recruit others for their misguided ideas - all the less so when it comes to ideas that seek to restrict other people's personal freedom, as is the case with the racist and mysogynistic beliefs of the Trump cult. These people are dangerous, even if they have no insight into what they are actually doing.
In other news, face-eating leopards still eat faces.
Sorry, I missed the sub I'm in
Something something leopards and faces.
I'm assuming still voting for Trump
Oh, of course! Because "Trump isn't like that."
Narrator: But he was.
Was his name Clayton Bigsby?
Well it's not Cunnulingus Rice!
Are we talking about Cumulus Bunderpants ?
AFP, which has been around since 2004, gained prominence after Barack Obama was sworn in as president. It has traditionally focused on hollowing out workers’ rights, blocking Medicaid expansion, kneecapping green energy initiatives, and pushing down the minimum wage. Since 2010, some 42 percent of AFP’s ads have been rated “false” by PolitiFact, the nonpartisan fact-checking website; none have been rated “true.” The group backed Trump’s UN ambassador Nikki Haley in the 2024 presidential race before the former South Carolina governor bowed out in March.
Terrible policies, as expected, from the Koch brothers. These guys have been harming society at a massive scale for years.
The lawsuit says Baxter still has not received the wages AFP owes him, nor has he been paid back for any of his mileage. By the same token, Baxter claims in his suit that AFP paid its white employees without issue. The suit accuses AFP of race discrimination, retaliation, and wage theft, and demands back pay and legal fees, as well as exemplary, punitive, and compensatory damages “for Plaintiff’s emotional pain and suffering.”
It's tough for me to feel bad for you when you joined a thieving ring and then got robbed.
surprise surprise. like the conservative women complaining that their husbands dont respect them
The leopards— They ate my face!!!
Even after all that, I bet he's still voting Trump.
he's surprised an organization filled with unrepentent confederates are racist?
This reminds me of a Key and Peele skit where the blind right wing racist who didn't know he was black.
That was Dave Chappelle my guy.
Sorry different numbers of people all look the same to me.
Oops!! I forgot. Thanks for the correction.
Clayton Bigsby
Dave Chapel skit, I'm pretty sure.
Oops you're right
Weird whiny bitch loser.
He chose...poorly.
Deal with it, dude. You chose that crowd.
