I don't understand how anyone reasonable would think it's somehow good that he "stands by his words". He's essentially confirming he's a bigot, racist, and general waste of oxygen. Hopefully the "free market" can figure out what he does for a living and make his life suffer as much as he wants others to suffer.

You should see his voters, then you'll understand.

I guess I should have put the word "reasonable" in all caps for emphasis.

It is a little refreshing compared to blanket denial and insisting the "true" racists are the people who call him out. Or crocodile tears and insisting "that's not who I am".
But yea, still not good.

Oh I'm sure many Black folk would be interested in visiting their ancestral homelands, but they have a hard time finding them for some reason. I WONDER WHY THAT MIGHT BE.

I've got a better idea: Let's have all the white people move to Narnia.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 2y
Oo! I want to live in Narnia! I want a talking badger friend! I'll take that offer!

All the Turkish Delight I can eat? Sign me up!

Not a bad deal... on the other hand, all the Turkish Delish I can eat is like three pieces.

Yes in retrospect the Turkish Delight Diet never really got off the ground for a reason.
And that reason was Type 2 Diabetes.

My conspiracy theory is that no Turks would ever knowingly consume Turkish delights, it’s simply a deep state ploy to fatten up the rest of the world for harvesting in the future.

I would better go to Wakanda - it is the most technologically advanced nation on the planet. Narnia is just some Christian crazy world.
ElleChaise@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y
Narnia sounds cold, does wakanda need a token by chance?

At least he stepped down. Most of them cling to their power. See: Clarence Thomas

Dude had only been on twitter for like a year and a half. I wonder how long he had been on truth social before bringing his trash to twitter?

Lol - His soul should stand by his body and he can watch it fade into hell where it belongs.
