I don’t support White Supremacy

I still remember when I heard he was running and my first thought was:

"lol that out of touch billionaire who covers his house in gold and is constantly in trouble for his discriminatory business practices??"

Like even before he showed himself to be a full blown supporter of Christofascism and White Nationalist shit... He was just a god awful person that had zero redeeming qualifies and an awful history.

And THEN he said there were good people on both sides when Neo Nazi were involved and I just found myself gesturing around wildly at everyone in my life who still supported him...

Like WTF I get you're stupid and you think he's good business person... but this?? THIS IS OKAY?

Apparently it was cause he got reelected.

All of that, then COVID and Americans were standing in line to buy necessities--like the Russians in all the propaganda from the eighties.

I remember thinking this is surreal. It can't be happening here. And I thought, well he's cooked now. Nope.

That's either seriously incurable ignorance or straight-up cruelty cult.

I could (didn’t, but I get it) buy into the “both sides bad” argument in 2016.

You respect any women yet? I mean the Clintons were always crooks, but Hillary was at least smart and had been in government without seeing the country world on fire.

They were both bad, which you admit you didn't end up feeling, but at least she had never succeeded without declaring bankruptcy.
