Trump kills rural broadband grants, calls digital equity program “racist and illegal”
Trump kills broadband grants, calls digital equity program “racist and illegal”
This is the guy who just recently, through overt, barely coded dog whistles, called Buttigieg a "f@**0t," riding with his husband on a bike, and Crockett a "uppity n1@883r b1%&h" from the Oval Office. I'm a 53 year old white male from the rural South. The message was loud and clear. Believe what I'm telling you. I've heard this garbage my entire life, and hear the shit that's said when it's just us white males. The real hateful shit.
This is real. This is serious. They're starting with "Illegal Immigrants," and to them, deviant "Transsexuals." RFK Jr. is reported to be compiling a database of Autistic people. Before that, it was the homeless. Remember what the Nazis did to those "Undesirables."
Just like the Nazis of 80 years ago, they're starting with the defenseless, and the poorest.
What gets me is the other poor white people I know.
They think they're "Special." They're on "The Team." Trump would have a beer with them. He's looking out for them.
The truly dumbest, deluded, ignorant, and just irredeemable humans on the planet.
And maybe most importantly, lacking any empathy for others. Even if they were right and they were on The Team while others suffered... to be happy about that with no compassion at all towards other human beings is a terrible way to live a life.
I go to a church made of immigrants.
Sounds like a rough job, even when the weather is good.
Call ICE. If just a few get deported, the rest will get the message.
This is so fucked but also probably true
They’re starting with “Illegal Immigrants,” and to them, deviant “Transsexuals.”
Once they get rid of all the immigrants and trans people, does anyone really think they're going to dismantle the infrastructure, bulldoze the detention centers, and fire all the excess agents? Or is it more likely that they will just find new out-groups to throw on the pile?
It blows my mind that people see this happening in real time and just go "that'll never happen to me".
Getting a lot of mileage out of these Run the Jewels lyrics recently
Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too
new out-groups
Better yet, same out-groups, just new assignments. Straight person criticized trump? Call straight person gay, now free to persecute them.
Trump dropped a hard-r when it comes to Jasmine Crockett? Honestly, given the good work Crockett has been doing, I kind of love that it's pissing off Trump so much, and making him show his true, obviously racist (and homophobic, etc.) colors.
What I don't like is that this is probably going to make the hard-r "more acceptable to say" for MAGA folk, not that they didn't already say it in more private settings already.
They were talking about subtext
Yeah, I missed the "barely coded dogwhistles" part of the sentence.
