Remember this shit? Fucking vote.

White nationalist: Trump gives nothing but racist tweets

President Donald Trump’s racist comments about Democratic congresswomen have won him renewed support from white supremacists who had been losing faith that he was the hero they wanted to create a prospering White America.

Trump told the four women of color that they should “go back” to the “crime infested places” they came from, even though three of the four were born in the US and the fourth is a naturalized citizen.

“Man, President Trump’s Twitter account has been pure fire lately. This might be the funniest thing he’s ever tweeted. This is the kind of WHITE NATIONALISM we elected him for,” wrote Andrew Anglin on his Daily Stormer site – one of the most highly trafficked neo-Nazi websites.

Well…yes. That’s one of the reasons they vote for him.

Yes, many people are racist. No, that doesn’t make it any less reprehensible.

I appreciate all the folks who keep posting the Trump of days past, or what he wants you to think is past.

Wanna know a secret? You can just look up articles about trump from any month in his presidency. He's always doing something disgusting and exhausting.

People were completely tired of his antics by the time COVID hit. That's why he lost: he's boring. I'm just reminding people of how annoying it was to hear a new "trump thinks we should nuke a hurricane" every week.

Go to the polls even if you're not in a swing state. Even if you don't affect anything, it's cathartic to tell him to shut up.

It was wild having to wake up every day wondering what bonkers things the president tweeted at 3am the night before.

Exactly. I had to explain to my brother that you don't need to be excited for his opponent. Everyday Trump was president be debased himself, us, the country, by invading our lives with his lies. Every. Day. No shame. How could you not be compelled to steer away from that. Instead my brother is making excuses.
