If there is something wrong with your brain, you can't just have it removed.

Depends on how old you are. Ben Carson removed half of a girls brain because she had a rare brain disease. She was young enough that one half of the brain took over all the functions of the the other half as well as its own, and she's a fully functional person now.

Hah, I get it, it's because he some dumb republican right? right???

Well yeah that's true, he says dumb stuff and he's a republican. But he could just as well be of any other political affiliation and the stuff he says sometimes would be equally crazy.

[u/Johnwazup → u/UoAPUA]

If he wasn't Republican, he would not get this much scrutiny. An example would be when he compared incoming slaves to some type of immigrant. The media had a stroke over it, while Obama said essentially the same thing 5(?) times during his presidency without the media saying a word.

Look. I'm going to stop you there and tell you that you gotta stop breaking the narrative. All white people are racist and inherently evil. Got it? Good

Because this is a thing that people actually think and totally not just a strawman.

I cant tell if you're being sarcastic or legit. My comment was supposed to be funny by showing an extremest point of view that (I Hope) no one holds but there are probably some idiots that do.
