This week, in an interview with three women journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, Trump wondered aloud about Harris’s race: “Is she Indian or is she Black?” he asked, quickly adding, “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t. Because she was India...

    Is he orange or is he white? Because up until a few years ago he was white, then went orange.

      Yeah that’s like saying “Apple reveals Apple’s existence as a corporate entity alongside new iPhones for 2024.”

    Memo to headline writers: please never put the words “Trump” and “naked” near each other again.

      So, back in the Runup for 2020, and when I still hoped a certain uncle wasn’t a full on cultist, I was trying to explain just how “unpresidential” and how scandalous he was as a president.

      During the conversation, I pulled a picture of Trump in tan suit pants from somewhere, and threw some pixelation like they do on cops, and stuff.

      That was all I did to, just pixelated his pants.

      Then I showed them, saying “he’s so bad you don’t even question if this is real.”

      The stared at the picture then totally thought he was just having some kind of wardrobe malfunction and that people totally lose their pants on stage… all the time

    Who was holding their breath? Do we have to wait until after the Doom Slayer comes for him until we’re sure he’s also a fucking demon?

      The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth. A leader who doesn’t respond with hostility and anger when presented with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us. They are an essential source of our strength.

      Damn right

      That’s a great way Harris could respond to this: "Yes, Donald, I am Indian. I am also black. Most importantly, I am an American.

      An American who loves our country and the strength our melting-pot of diversity brings. "

        The “undecideds” are not looking for measured, reasonable “we go high when they go low” type responses - that’s not the mindset for this moment, unfortunately (even if it’s the decent thing). They are looking for her to dismissive tell him he’s weird and move on. Because he is and she should.

        Realize the weight of this moment, we can stand on principle as the ship sinks, or we can save the boat from sinking and then hopefully work back to civility from there.

          These aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m entirely onboard with kneeing them when they go low. But you can do a one-two punch with mockery and dismissal while injecting some truth in a bite-sized form. That’s literally what satirists do.

            You can’t here - You’re not talking to satirists or the audience for satire. You’re talking to non-college educated mothers from Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, along with undereducated, disengaged young people in Georgia and Arizona.

            If you add the noble point to follow, they feel judged and looked down on. Again, it’s not fair or right, but it’s the reality of this moment.

    It is a tactic that has long been part of the underside of American politics: presenting an opponent as somehow ‘other’ or ‘not one of us’ — someone who cannot be trusted or truly known. But, it is a different time.

      Well maybe this time, instead of energizing and recruiting more fascist it will show them the error of their ways.
