Then clearly you understand why unprovoked and baseless insults of people who you know next to nothing about (like either you-to-me or me-to-you) are easily interpreted as offensive.
Offense was intended. I thought that was obvious.
You spew right-wing talking points, led by one Donald Trump who's rhetoric is so filled with racism, that anyone blindly following him has to, on some level, be racist. Not every racist is a card carrying member of the KKK. Some racists are just comfortable with racism, and choose to ignore it as a matter of convenience. It's easier that way. It doesn't affect them, so it doesn't matter. And the racism on the right didn't start with Trump. Saint Ronny used the same rhetoric. Nixon too. They were just a lot less overt about it. And people can say "They weren't racist! They didn't hate black people!" but that's just a load of bullshit. Just like all the other right-wing talking points. They were comfortable with using racist rhetoric in order to get the votes of racists, and people on the right just didn't feel the need to call it out. Not then, and certainly not now. They make their excuses and use whataboutism.
But I'm sure your concern trolling jab about Biden being held in contempt by a foreign government in an entirely political move was, entirely, your own thoughts and not the sheeping of the party that's been going on about stupid shit like this all the time, while having ignored everything Trump did.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.
