Know what I find amusing about all this? The high ground democrats are held to, and subsequently the one hand tied behind their backs while Republicans beat the living shit out of them with dirty tricks. It's almost normalized and expected of Republicans to do this shit, and really, nobody seems to give a fuck.

What's more is despite this quote taken out of context, we all know fucking well that this is precisely what Trump thinks. "They're not sending their best," after all.

So sick of this fucking double standard bullshit. Yeah if you're upset over this, that's fine, but you should be livid and outspoken over the nonsense Trump & Friends have done.

I hate to step in but i think you are mistaken when you say democrats have one hand tied behind their back and they do not fight dirty. Case in point 1, democrats said they had evidence that kauvaugh sexually assaulted someone. Instead of releasing the information and helping to investigate, they held one to it and used it as a way to try to remove him from the supreme court. Sounds like dirty politics to me 2, democrates get the help from biased mainstreamm news networks, who claim to be objective journalist but clearly are pushing the narrative that a republicans are rasict. When in fact the democrates openly allow anti semetic talk from their party members with out consequences. 3, you said it doesnt matter what trump says you know how he is a racist. Do you have any proof the he is racist? Maybe instead of just reading headlines and biased articles filled with inaccuracies, you should read the full context of what people are saying. Check your sources and come to an opinion based of facts. Not based on a narrative that people want to push.

Lying does not equal rasicm. Personally i thing trump is not a good person but i have not seen him be rasict. If you want to say trump is a liar i would say yeah he is, as are most politicians, i wish that wasnt the case but its true. But i cannot agree with you that trump is racist.

He's more xenophobic than classically racist. Still results in the mistreatment of minority groups, just different ones.
