I bet they’d be the first ones shouting “lock him up!” if Biden had released this video depicting black republicans.

I think you're right, and they'd be on Foxnews EVERY DAY screeching about how this country can't survive with a leader like Biden.

Typical Republican racism and excuses to downplay it.

Basically "it doesn't affect me, so I don't care."

The crazy part is it absolutely affects them, they're just too dumb to realize it.

X@piefed.world · 3 pts · 214d

Not even “Basically”. They aren’t affected, they don’t care, simple as.

That's some Jews for Hitler energy right there.

Man, you really do have to sell your soul to the capitalist (Satan hasn't hurt anyone) if you want to be a republican.

For the love of all things holy, how on earth can people be so damn stupid. I will never understand.

They think their proximity to white will protect them

Surely, in 2026, they knew what they were signing up for to be a Republican.

homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 214d

Yep! And they love it.

Well, to be fair, I think I would vote for a racist pro-choice candidate before I would vote for a pro-life candidate, so it makes sense that a pro-life voter would have similar priorities.
