Girl. There is no turning point. This is who they are.

“We the People” have the power. Not “them.”

I’m responding to the point that Republicans are going to turn on trump. No they will not. His voters won’t either.

And yet he is losing support.
"they" are becoming "us"
That is how you win in democracies.

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer but here goes:

Pp points out jokes aren’t the problem. The prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow- that’s the problem.

If you are ok with the damage racism has done to society and draw your line at a video, that’s not great. The fact that 30% of people voted for this guy is a continuing disaster. Quite frankly I don’t care if they see the light, they’ve already done tremendous damage and will continue to do so by virtue of being too stupid to live in an advanced country and dragging us down.

I see the video posts as text balloons to determine if he’ll get away with more. If he hears silence from the masses and media helps to protect him by downplaying coverage, and of course Congress does the ostrich, it will get worse. He laughs, says the plebes don’t care, and will push the envelope further.

So the bulk of the video purports to prove that Dominion voting machines were tampered with in an effort to help Joe Biden win.

The producers of this video, I assume, want to be taken seriously, and yet, they tack on that cartoon with the Obamas.

Pretty major disconnect there.

Don’t worry. NYT will post a “live” update at 3 pm. Here’s a preview:

“Last night, President Trump appeared to have posted a video that may or may not portray Barack and Michelle Obama as non-human primates. Some critics of the President called the video ‘racist’ and compared it to once common historical depictions of Black people that have since been deemed discriminatory. When asked for comment, Karoline Leavitt responded, ‘Our great President is not racist. You are. Go to hell and die.’”

Well now, those pregnancy hormones are really kicking in!

Was this before or after she responded "Your Momma!"

This is one of his go-to moves when things are going against him. He wants to remind the racists that make up his base that he’s one of them and the reaction from democrats will remind them the democrats are not their friends.

I noticed this too. Nothing on CNN or WashPo. Maybe they’re vetting its authenticity or maybe, at least for WashPo, they don’t care. I guess the paper is truly dead.

It’s astonishing that a president would post this and even more astonishing that at every level of this video being produced and posted, the Trump team said “Obama’s as monkeys, perfect!” Not one voice of reason thinking this is a terrible, and very racist, idea!?!?! I would be fired from my job if I did something like this!

CNN and the washington post are no longer independent news organizations, so you are barking up the wrong tree there.

I'm not seeing anything about it on the homepages of the major US news orgs. They have stories, but they're burying it. Scared of the squealing poopy piggy.

I am so ashamed and embarrassed that he is the President. And that extended family voted for him. There is no bottom apparently for racists.

I'm laughing. There are far worse things like murders. This joke isn't worth an ounce of outrage.

I am not because I have Black friends, coworkers, family members who are angry about this and I actually care about them. It is clear you don't.

As a Black person, this does not anger me. It's par for the course, and not even actually funny. Anyone who finds it funny exposes themselves as not only racist, but having the sense of humor and intelligence of a 12 year old boy.

You want to get up in arms about racism? Let's talk about the prison industrial complex, over policing, wealth disparity, education disparities, the generational damages done by slavery and Jim Crow. I do not care about monkey jokes.

Don’t you think that monkey jokes coming from POTUS feed into legitimizing all those other things?

From Trump himself even?

Well my 12 year old kid actually called out the racism of another kid in his class making fun of kids with darker skin by calling them "darkies" and "monkeys" last year (not kidding, this was in FCPS), so I would still say this kind of sh*t from our POTUS - which yes, even kids may see - enables racism at young ages.

Trump’s entire Truth Social feed is unbelievable. And his executive orders. Everything will be archived and published in history books, documentaries, etc. Can you imagine what future historians will say about his legacy? Once upon a time, Americans voted for a president for a second time AFTER the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol, and then with his blessing, his administration hired Elon Musk to unleash DOGE twenty year olds (who didn’t save any money actually), killed dozens of people in international waters accusing them of being drug dealers without due process, terrorized Minneapolis with untrained personnel who killed two citizens, stuck his name on the Kennedy Center, whitewashed history, was publicly upset about not winning the Nobel Prize, kept threatening to take Greenland, killed clean energy projects in the United States allowing China to lead in clean energy, alienated US allies thereby encouraging them to foster closer ties with China, invaded Venezuela and spirited away its president, planned to turn Gaza into a luxury coastal resort and invited PUTIN to the Board of Peace, overwhelmed US businesses, including farms, with higher costs due to an erratic and sometimes vengeful tariff roller coaster…..all while Trump, his family and his inner circle pocketed billions of dollars.

This is terrible. Didn't they get enough hate when they were in the White House?
