      I find myself contemplating this exact same sentiment at least once a day at this point. I just have to wonder how representative I am of the general populace here. Am I some weird outlier, or is this common? If this is common, I just don’t know how the country can sustain itself, or if it even should.

        It shouldn’t. It’s a lost cause.

          Oh, the billionaires who funded The Heritage Foundation, and The Federalist Society definitely have a plan.

          Neo-Feudalism, with slavery from for-profit prisons via the 13th Amendment.

          Until they completely abandon the Constitution, and declare a new Techno-Theocracy of America.

      Without the nazis, Democrats would be the right wing party and we could have actual leftists. Is it the country you hate, or the nazis?

    Just to be clear, this “white genocide” in South Africa is entirely fictitious. It’s not even an exaggeration of some small trend. The rate at which white people are killed in South Africa is no higher than for other population groups.

    And yet, on the basis of this racist fiction, Trump’s regime is giving “asylum” to white South Africans.

        Well, roughly 1/3 of the US population is that racist, and some are less so. I’m a white male, I hear it when these dumbasses think I’m on The Team.

      Gotta feed your hounds if you want to sic your attack dogs on someone. At this point there is going to be some sort of judicial or legislative confrontation whether it be meek or consequential. Midterms will be here sooner or later and he needs his constituents to feel like they are being attacked, he needs to feel like they need him to defend their ways of life.

      He’s trying to bully them into conceding favorable terms for him. It’s Mafia tactics. He thinks he’s a badass, and everyone will back down to his demands. China didn’t.

    If we are suddenly concerned with genocide, there’s much bigger (and legitimate) fish to fry in the world currently.

    Trump is just trying to show off to putin to be like that genocidal putin and his nazi wagner group to justify an invasion.
