Aaannnd...the pretend victory. You should change up your shtick. It's getting stale.
You do realize that, every time I said that I had no alternative but to vote for a racist, I was conceding that Trump is racist, right? Er, no, apparently you missed that.

Then stop trolling threads with nonsense about how trump isn't a racist? In any case, you -did- have a choice, and you made it. You decided that fucking the browns would be worth whatever crumbs you think the party of crooks and traitors is going to leave out for you. You decided that a democratic administration..was worse, than an openly racist one.

Where did I do that? I noted that he's a bad racist, as he endorsed a black Republican over a white Republican. The implication was that racism isn't simply a yes/no thing. I thought people might like to discuss nuances, but no one took that up, even when asked directly.

Yep, and you wimped out and didn't make a choice. Unless you agree with Rush. How did that go? If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice IIRC.

What browns did I fuck over?
And here you go rooting for the Dems again despite repeatedly denying you have a side. If the democratic administration was clearly better, why didn't you vote for it? ...you still have made a choice...

Indeed. I've chosen not to participate in a broken system. The futility of seeking restitution or representation from a fundamentally corrupt bureaucracy could take years and years to discuss...but I fear that this discussion would be lost on a person who thinks that their having knowingly picked a racist potus, on the theory that he would throw them cookies, is the more courageous and responsible decision.
Even -this- however.,..still doesn't explain why you plump for every bad idea that falls out of said racists head. I don't think you're being entirely honest when you describe your party leaders racism as a bug, rather than a desired feature. After all, it was white fright :ahem: "economic anxiety" that drove whitey to the polls. Yet here we are, playing russian roulette with our economy and influence.

Yep, I knowingly picked between two racist choices, because one choice's positions lined up better with mine than the other's did.

I don't. Space force seems pretty stupid.

Cool, keep painting all Trump voters as racists. "Basket of deplorables" put Trump in the WH, and since then you guys (oops, those Dems - we know you're independent wink wink nudge nudge) have literally doubled down on it. Even Hillary only said that the deplorables were one of two Trump groups, but now libs are saying we're all a bunch of racists.

I categorically reject the idea of "dog-whistles". I cannot say it better than another has already done:
"Any statement about a member of group, whether positive or negative (let alone accurate or inaccurate), made by someone suspected of being racist (i.e., anyone on the Right), may be demonstrated, after sufficiently imaginative interpretation, to have associated categories with each other in an implicitly racist, dog-whistling way. Praising a particular black man as hard-working, for example, could be uncharitably interpreted as a subtle invocation of stereotypes that black people are lazy. With enough bad faith, anything is possible." - Bonevac, Association Arguments: Dog Whistling in the Dark
And that "bad faith" is exactly how the Left formulates their false charges of racism against their opponents. If Trump has succeeded at anything at all, he has made the smear tactics of the Left clearly apparent. Your race cards have expired. Ordinary Americans in "fly-over" country are sick of your slander.

People who look for hidden meanings in everything end up wearing tinfoil hats, Khem. The Left has gone insane, paranoid of its own bigoted shadow.

The point of a dog whistle is that it's not hidden, silly. It's a way to communicate ones racism in socially acceptable terms. Not that I have any idea what hidden messages anyone needs to look for in overt racism?
Perhaps you could clear that up for me. Or maybe alpha can clear it up for you?
