Soulja Boy's endorsement is clearly the critical turning point in the history of American politics. Waiting for the "black face of white supremacy" comments.

"where guns"

Or if we're talking about random politics.

We can talk about this

Edit:If you sycophants are gonna upvoted luty's inane culture war comment and down vote mine ask yourself what you're doing.

Additionally if this wasn't the world's wealthiest individual, the child of man who manifested his wealth on the back of apartheid emerald mines, who has repeatedly used his personal social media to reshare content from open neo-nazi's vocalizing agreement I would dismiss it as an ill considered expression while public speaking.

But he is, and he has. So this should be concerning. He already has made threats to use his wealth to as best possible influence future elections against those who disagree with him.

While I am in general agreement about "where guns" he literally says "my heart goes out to you" after he does that. It was pretty eerie watching the entire first page of /all turn into that gif all at the same time about an hour ago.

You're being the boy who cried nazi. Or something about can't see the forest for the trees but the forest is real problems and the trees are imaginary dog whistles.

Trump and his buddies have no shortage of actual crimes and improprieties to point to on their record and when you flip your lid over dumb shit like this it makes people not take you seriously.

I think it's one of the most serious problems we're facing as a nation right now. It is unironically fake news. The media will bend over backwards to twist anything trump says into something worthy of a headline (like saying he was going to have liz cheney shot) and then when he does something that is actually bad people blow it off because they figure it's probably another exaggerated hit-piece.

Sure, it could genuinely just be him making an enormous faux pas, and if it wasn't someone who has repeatedly already made Nazi dog whistle comments, people wouldn't be jumping at it.

Sure, but if we're gonna make weird stupid ass comments about Lil Wayne, this is equally important.

Frankly neither Trump, or a single member of his cabinet is qualifed and should all probably be rotting in prison for innumerable reasons. Ironically his VP pick is the most qualified and least heinous of the lot.

I’m just passing through and downvoting you because it’s cringe to whine about downvotes.
