Where the hell can you go with this?




Reporter @EmmaVigeland: Do you think Joe Biden is a socialist?

Trump supporter: Yes.

Reporter: How would you define socialism?

Trump supporter: I define socialism as when you bring down your own country, your own race, because he’s not black.


Huh? Heh? Good grief

There is literally no-where to go with that...

she doesn't agree with. The answer is based on lazy-minded hatred of liberals.

She’s saying that Biden was a traitor to his race by running and serving with the black guy. My take is, she’s mimicking her Dear Leader’s formula for deflecting questions that expose his monumental ignorance. Just reflexively throw racist chum in the water to rally the mob, create a feeding frenzy of distraction, and voila. Problem solved.

.... to immigrants seeking asylum"? And "do you support forced separation and caging of children".

At that point, I would have fallen back on an old adage, "don't get in a pissing match with a skunk" and then walked away.

They can't be reached so we shouldn't waste our time on them.

She fell back on trump's "fake news" bullshit when she couldn't deal with a fact about trump.

bring down the “white race” by supporting justice for all - that pledge of allegiance throw away line. If you’re not racist, you’re not American because Americans are “white”. Biden is not American, therefore he is a socialist. All pretty straightforward.

She's a girl who loves her presnint who is white and rich, filthy so rich he rolls in dough and loves his white people an women. He likes to grab em and kiss em. Nothin' wrong with that. An' that is what America is here for, why Americans, white Americans, seized the airports and rammed their man parts back in the day -- you know, when the British came.

'Sides, Socialism is communism dressed in snowflakes, you know. And Communism is race mixing, except in Russia where they didn't mix, thank god, which is why, snowflake liberal press girl, which is why our Presnint, Donald Trump, likes to get with Putin whose also white.

An' don't go calling' this girl "racist", 'cause she's got friends who know black people.

that the bulk of racist magats want her to take her accent and get the hell out of their country, as she's obviously one of those latin immigrants. That she's good for nothing other than cleaning dirty hotel rooms due only to her ethnicity. An ethnicity they view as grossly inferior to those of northwestern European origin. Unreal.

Most obviously, she can go to hell.

In the bigger picture, use it and other clips like it to hammer home a point: Republicans call everything they don't like "socialism".

other than in bizarro terms like this person did. It seems to basically always come down to "Socialism is what I call everything that I don't understand or that I don't like or that is different."

So instead of economic system, socialism can be equal to unpatriotic; it can mean gun bans; it can mean voting without having to show IDs; it can mean environmental regulations; it can mean registering people to vote; it can mean not wearing a flag pin; it can mean ANYTHING European: Swiss chocolate, the Euro, English tea, Volvos, Italian food, the Eiffel Tower; it can mean having a college degree; it can mean criticizing a Republican president; it can mean gender-neutral bathrooms...

But never can they explain what it actually is.

a non-compete clause for their entire life. They are fearful that other colors will out perform them. I mean they see brown lawyers, or black doctors, and white people are so offended and scared.

So, we as people of America we won't get the best, we only get the white best. Great, this country standing will keep dropping. Would be an interesting experiment to just put a line down of the lower 48 to white land/we should overcome land. Look at the difference in our health and happiness in 20 years.

Maybe it's me, I want the best doctor, dentist, pilot, lawyer. Customer service representative, plumber, lawn maintenance person, post man. Kennel worker, Vet, teacher, cop and fireman.

No matter the color or sex, or sexual preference. We got to be less scared, that lizard brain stuff. We've been around each other for 100s of years, come on evolution.
