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 hes not black.
Huh? Heh? Good grief
There is literally no-where to go with that...

(1,730 posts)Shes saying that Biden was a traitor to his race by running and serving with the black guy. My take is, shes mimicking her Dear Leaders 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.

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.

(15,524 posts)bring down the white race by supporting justice for all - that pledge of allegiance throw away line. If youre not racist, youre not American because Americans are white. Biden is not American, therefore he is a socialist. All pretty straightforward.

(2,692 posts)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.

(17,931 posts)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.

In the bigger picture, use it and other clips like it to hammer home a point: Republicans call everything they don't like "socialism".
Rabrrrrrr
(58,349 posts)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.

(9,291 posts)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.
