Does “Trumpanzee Repubs” imply black republican (given the post’s context)? If so, that’s offensive as fuck. Even if it doesn’t imply black republican, I’d still avoid ever using that term ever again, just in case.
You think that’s meant to mean black Republicans in the context of a comment complaining about Donald’s racism?
No, I think it’s a poor choice and one that you can easily avoid in future. It skirts really close to racial if not fully over the line.
Why does your mind immediately jump to black people at the mention of chimpanzees? Sounds like you’re the one with bias that needs unpacking.
Maybe as a person of color I might be a little sensitive to racial slurs being thrown around. You know, a lifetime of that shit does tend to get to you after a bit. Is that enough unpacking for you or does I need more justification for you to grace me with your blessings?
“Trumpanzee” or any other possibly racially charged bullshit, especially when we are talking about racism, is not something that needs defending.
Because it’s been a way to dehumanize black people for literal centuries. And it hasn’t gone away as doctored pictures of the Obamas can attest to.
No, it implies his cult are as smart as a chimp, and about as docile.
And even then they’ll act like it doesn’t matter.
Incorrect. They would then disbelieve the validity of signatures and affidavits. Lol
Dude come on. We’re literally talking about racism. Black people have been compared to monkeys for centuries, this isn’t new.
I don’t recall comparing black people to monkeys. You don’t want anyone comparing Trumpers to apes?
I think I recall respecting some of your other comments, so I will definitely take it under advisement, though.
I like the term because it is rude and describes that they are outrage- and fear-addicted Fox News watchers who don’t care about long term success for the country. I wish there was something comparably derisive to replace it with.
I’m going to respond to both of your comments here since it looks like Lemmy hiccuped somehow.
There’s plenty of terms off the top of my head, sheeple, orange cultists, Ya’ll Qaeda, idiots, etc.
Using references to monkeys, especially in a discussion about racism doesn’t need anyone to reference black people. That is the reference. Here’s some good reading on the subject.
If you want to use the ancient form of it I would make sure to declare a noun as being ape-like. “Trump supporters are a bunch of scared apes.”
That’s not even a dog whistle. That’s just out in the open racism.
I didn’t even connect the dots with his skin colour damn wtff. I hope every black American turns against him for this. Show trump how smart they really are…
Trump’s not racist. He has never said a racist thing in his life! /s
One Of The Good Ones™.
This reminds me of a trump impersonator i talked to at a kendrick lamar concert. I asked him what he thought of kendrick, he responded with oh hes one of the good ones, very talented very talented.
I found the video of me meeting and asking the question.
nailed it
If you really wanted to squint and put your fingers in your ears and hum, you might possibly be able to interpret him as talking about congresspeople.
But he was actually talking about black people, so that isn’t necessary.
This was my take from this as well.
I mean, it’s possible he could have been talking about politicians or government people or something… But he certainly wasn’t. He could have, he did not.
It’s only vague enough to convince those living in a trough of disillusionment to be convinced that he wasn’t blatantly being racist here.
Maybe Republicans would be a reasonable take, although I don’t know anything about this guy to say he’s smart, but Republicans tend to be “not quite so good.”
Obviously, this is not what Trump meant, but also he was a Democrat before he realized how easy Republicans were to dupe, so he is aware of this fact.
Is Trump aware of anything at this point?
Ivanka
damn, same
Very aware
Thank you for explaining it. I have been confused about this for hours. I thought he was talking about congress members. I don’t think I could have ever figured it out.
“You see, some negroes can be nearly as smart as white folk. It is hard to believe, I know, but it can happen. Then of course you have the rest who act as god intended them to; in a manner to test the strength of the white man’s tolerance.”
– Trump’s not so subtle subtext.Maybe he means politicians? He doesn’t have a good track record for recognizing people are black.
/s he’s racist as fuck.
Obvious racism aside… is this like “bring your hard hat to the rally” day? Get a free mustard dog? Or is he handing these out to people sitting behind him? Or did he hire a bunch of Village People impersonators as extras to increase his crowd size that he cares so much about?
You joke but literally they hire people to be behind him. Usually it is attractive women, POC, working class appearing folk or elderly women. The hard hats probably fit wherever he was speaking trying to claim he’s talking to the working class or something
do they have a web site or something where I can apply? it’s in the name over here lady! I’m a professional clapper!
Last I heard they went through things like local modeling, and talent, casting agencies for most of these. Sometimes you will see ads in papers to appear in political publications, commercials, etc. and it ends up that you are in stuffing a rally, they do use images, and video clips, of the rallies, for promotion, and you will likely be in there, somewhere, so it technically isn’t lying. It is a lot like how movies get extras.
i can’t even bring myself to post my face on dating apps, so nah.
Probably a rally at a construction business or something similar.
Source https://youtu.be/iioIRryc4_o Yikes… I think in context he was referring to politicians but he might have mentally been thinking “black politicans”.
Yeah he “might have been”.
saving that
He’s talking about GOP Reps, right? Right?
Checkout the fake blue collar workers behind him. Nice clothes are hair + a hard hat. Also, who wears a hart hat to a rally speech? Are they expecting debris to fall from above?
It’s always such a fake ass clown show from this weirdo.
(Edit: that said, the guy on the far left is legit, but the two guys in white dress shirts, and the woman who just hit up the styling wand are hilarious. All those hats are brand new)
Perhaps he is talking about JD
I heard it the moment he said it
You could almost hear him say the silent words… out loud
did trump ever apologize for anything?
I’m sure he’s said the equivalent of ‘I’m sorry you feel that way’ several tens of thousands of times
not sure if that’s accurate, but probably not. the tiny orange chungus can’t form a coherent sentence any more than I can, and that doesn’t bode well.
No but he doubled down and said they should be executed anyway and strangely no one cared…
That rancid walking chunk of miskept afterbirth has been skating along his entire life doing things 100x more horrible than any normal citizen can get away with and I am so fuckdamn tired of it.
He needs to be imprisoned for life with no parole and a 24/7 webcam feed so we can mock him till he dies alone in his own steaming shit of old age.
