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.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Rusticus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Omnificer@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] blazera@kbin.social 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

oh wow a racist republican

[–] speck@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They only do it for the alliteration

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

So that's why they're conservative

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 46 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Zippit@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The ridiculous thing is, Africa is doing way better now, I would like to visit myself one day.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 31 points 1 year ago

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

I've got a better idea: Let's have all the white people move to Narnia.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oo! I want to live in Narnia! I want a talking badger friend! I'll take that offer!

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Talking badger my ass it's probably Milhouse

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cylusthevirus@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Yes in retrospect the Turkish Delight Diet never really got off the ground for a reason.

And that reason was Type 2 Diabetes.

[–] milkjug@lemmy.wildfyre.dev 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

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 points 1 year ago

Narnia sounds cold, does wakanda need a token by chance?

[–] Eggscellent@kbin.social 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So he's been dealing with way too many black people...in North Dakota?

[–] kaitco@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Everybody knows Larry and Shalonda…

[–] Stanwich@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

These people are proud to be racist. Quit giving them the screen time.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 year ago

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?

[–] Reality_Suit@lemmy.one 9 points 1 year ago

So he stands by his ignorance?

[–] iHUNTcriminals@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

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

The wolves can take what's left.

[–] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I bet he thinks he's an Alpha wolf too, without realizing no such thing exists.

[–] theodewere@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

and he needs to get the fuck out of the Home of the Free and go live in 1930s Nazi Germany with the other cowards like him

[–] Tathas@programming.dev -1 points 1 year ago

So he's pro immigration?

[–] weeabooextract@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Wakanda nutz are deeze?
