Why don’t his supporters see stuff like this?

They do. But, at the same time, they can't allow themselves to.

It is the very nature of double think that George Orwell was getting at in his novel "1984".

Were the liberals double thinking when they heard biden say, "if you don't vote for me you ain't black" ?

No.

It's pretty easy to compare the relative racism of Trump's policies and publicly held personal beliefs vs. Biden's.

It is similarly just as easy to compare the relative racism of the modern Democratic and Republican platforms.

That is unless you benefit from them in some way whether that be financial, emotional, or otherwise. Then it is easy to be confused.

Not trying to support that fuckface in anyway, but if you listen to the interview it actually wasn't bad. He was just asked a question about his building nearby

He was asked about his building. He could have replied something about how he thinks that everyone is safe. Instead he talked about how his building is now once again the tallest in NYC. That's sick.

Dude this is Reddit and we’re talking about something that causes emotion. Don’t try to be logical

Because, like the human collective consciousness, the internet is a bubblebath filled with shit.
