Why does this guy get to run for president when he appears to have committed millions of dollars in fraud? Shouldn’t that be jail time for anyone else?
Because we elected a black dude and holy shit did that break the right.
Obama really did open the floodgates on all the racists. I guess I was really naive, but I had no idea there were so many racist everywhere.
My favorite is when racists say "We've had a black president so we can't be a nation of racists."
Like....somehow having a black president now makes it okay for all of the shit conservatives want to do.
"Thanks Obama"
They did it on CNN. I remember some Republican prick saying, "you know why we're not racist? Obama."
It just so happened that the racists got outvoted. Their party really seized upon being racists though.
Oh, so did that repub vote for Obama, then? I realize that was on tv, but when I hear that IRL, I'll ask if they voted for Obama. If they did, could they explain why the hell we had the birtherism shit? And why donnie, who is king of the birthers, is the choice of the cons and how did he get into office?
