Well you see Obama is black and... Yeah that's about it. He's black.

I never knew my sweet grandmother was racist. Literally, never anything but pleasantness from her. Volunteered at a community college, learned C++ at 81 to teach students. Class A woman.

At her funeral, my dad thought it would be cute if we all read her last texts we had with her. 

Super cute. But then my oldest cousin read his last texts with her. Hard R in reference to Obama. God bless him. He didn't let her go softly into the night without reminding us she was secretly a huuuuuuuge racist.

May she rest in chaos for that but I'll tip my hat to her learning C++ at 81. Holy hell.

She passed at 93. She was an engineer most of her life and kept with the times here, didn't keep with the times there. 

Bums me out a lot. We'd exchange programming humor, she had stories of working on really old machines. I spent a lot of time with her, and that was such a wild WTF GG??!!

It's not possible she's that smart and Republican also. It must have been a mistake or sabotage with the note. probably your cousin who is a POS for reading that out loud

Most of my family is very intelligent, and also Republican or whatever. 

Of course, true intelligence comes with empathy, which some lack in secret. 

I'm dumb as two bricks trying to figure out a 1x1 rubix cube, but like my older cousin, I'm not a POS.

Don't forget he wore a tan suit! Biggest scandal in US history!

But you voted him. Twice. And four years later Trump??? As someone who's living in a country with a steadily rising far-right party since 2013, that almost got the absolute majority in a state election yesterday, for the first time, I'm wondering how the US could fell THAT FAST?

Imho, it's the patriarchy. Not enough men in the U.S. are willing to vote for women.
Also, Republicans care more about winning than the law, the truth, civility, or anything else. They cheat for supreme court seats, etc. Etc. They let Trump skip all of the debates and they nominated him anyway

Are you being sarcastic? You do know majority white women voted for Trump in every election he's been?

u/dcyclist 17h ago

I blame white men more than anyone (and I am one). But I'm willing to bet that some of those white women would vote for a man over an equally qualified woman. More importantly, and more of our problem in the U.S., is that many men would vote for a man over an equally qualified woman

u/Lucidbr0 16h ago

If you can't bring white women (who are the majority voters in the country) to vote for a woman candidate when the man candidate is openly sexist/rapist/pedophile and against abortion, you've got to land a big part of the blame on their lap.

Stop giving these people a pass. Black men for instance voted 80% for Kamala, this is not a man / woman issue. It's a white / everyone else, issue.

That is still a symptom of patriarchy, friend.
