As a Floridian, it was my hope this Governors race would be about the pressing issues facing our state -rising tides, algae outbreak, trade, economy, jobs. I had hoped it would not be one were racism was front and center. That hope lasted all of 10 hours.

(28,270 posts)In the age of Trump, GOP racism is front and center.
The main part of their damn platform.
DeSantis couldn't wait to put his racist hate on blast, first thing!

(129,106 posts)where Atwater's famous remarks in '81 talked about not being able to say "n****r, n****r, n****r" in the '60s and instead using terms like "forced busing", "states rights"...finally completely diluting the code to be a true "dog whistle" by using terms like "cutting taxes".
Now they are going backwards and will eventually start saying ""n****r, n****r, n****r" again.

(25,945 posts)What once constituted the political death penalty is now considered an endearing quality among followers. Deplorables are quite inured to even the most severe of tut-tuttings.

(11,885 posts)And vote to destroy all health care ,and Social Security, and protect a corrupt treasonous criminal like trump? Don't understand people's motives to vote against themselves, and to transfer a lot more wealth to the super wealthy in this country from robbing the rest of us. That doesn't make sense.

(129,106 posts)Because they bought into the hype that people of "other races" were no good freeloaders and do nothing but "take take take" so they want someone to get rid of their "problem".... not realizing that due to their own population being very much in the majority, THEY are also the majority of the so-called "freeloaders".
