Yā€™all whine about Trumpā€™s racism constantly. Got any proof of it?

Is that really the best you can do? Here, let me give you something that fits right in with that line of thinking: the collusion probe actually turned up something the other day. It seems that about three years ago, Trump put Russian dressing on his salad. ---

In his mind, everyone _has_ to be on a team. You _have_ to pick a side, and you _have_ to ardently believe everything that side says. So, that means he believes utterly fucking stupid shit such as ā€œI donā€™t like Donald Trumpā€ means ā€œI think the sun shines out of Hillaryā€™s butt.ā€ Heā€™s utterly incapable of understanding that someone could dislike both Trump and Hillary. I guess itā€™s easier for people like him who have decided not to bother with that whole ā€œthinkingā€ thing. Just pick a side and be a parrot. ---

Instead, the right wing elected a moron. They own this. ---

I dislike Hillary as well but for sane reasons. She epitomizes the Washington insider. Nothing would ever change on her watch unless she had 17 polls telling her to change it. I donā€™t believe she has ever held an opinions which wasnā€™t approved by a focus group and two law firms. She was the second worst candidate in 2016. ---

> [@DrFidelius](#): > > ā€¦She was the second worst candidate in 2016. Yep. But instead of choosing a flat tire, the republican tribe chose a burning car wreck that takes out everyone else on the highway. Just 'cause. They could have put someone like John Kasich or even Jeb up. But no, they want to burn the whole thing down. And they are going with it. Electing Trump is using a hand grenade to clear up a clogged toilet. And what is very disappointing, to me, is how this has embolden the racists in this country. I had thought they were a dying breed. Perhaps this may be good in the long run. Sometimes you must shine a light in the corner to find pests. Trump supporters show us just exactly what they are. ---
