Remember that every single one of those creatures are going to vote.
I just want to say for the record that if anyone is on trial for brutally beating a KKK member and I’m on the jury I will never ever convict you. That is not a crime.
I would never say something like that on record.
Unrelated fun fact: having that kind of record come up in voir dire would immediately get you kicked off the jury.
If a lawyer can find this they deserve to kick me off the jury. Although I will say I’ve never been picked for a jury I think I’m Kryptonite the most lawyers.
On the jury, being shown some video evidence…
“It doesn’t look like anything to me.”
Why would I convict him? He just whooped that ghost’s ass.
Leave it to a place called Mystic to have it’s own Grand Wizard.
Parts of CT are KKK strongholds.
I have a friend who used to live there and he told me his town had some prominent klansmen there, and there were rallies a town or two away.
I don’t normally pick at the physical appearances of people just for the sake of it, but I’ve noticed that Trump attracts a certain type of follower. Take a look at the people in the background of the next Trump rally and tell me what you see.
Those people and these people are the same. Just a bunch of trashy hillbillies. These klansmen are not the fringe supporters of Trump’s cult, they’re the ones down in the front. Like wax statues melting in the sun, their eyes glazed over enraptured as word salad pours out of Donald Trump’s mouth.
And don’t say “well that guy wearing the klan outfit is just a troll, the other people there are not associated with that!”. If you’ve got one Nazi in a bar full of people, you’re in a Nazi bar. If you’ve got one klansman at a Trump rally, you’re at a klan rally.
Other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people. This is exactly the kind of elitism they talk about encountering.
oh don’t mind him that’s just Freddy, he don’t like 'em colored folk and gays, he’s a good kid, I knew his momma
Are you fucked în the head? “other than the presence of the Klan, those are normal people” what in the shit does that mean? Why the fuck is the Klan present there? Why is nobody chasing them away? How the shit are you doing anything in your life and you see goddamn nazis next to you waving the swastika and you don’t stop to think “yo, maybe I shouldn’t be here”? How do “normal people” end up mixed with Klan members and just roll with it, motherfucker? HOW?
Because the comment I replied to called all Trump rally goers hillbilly trash in a general sense. Yeah the people in this picture have an issue. Calling everyone who supports Trump hillbilly trash is exactly the elitist take the far right feeds on.
If you have no problem hanging out with Klan members, you are hillbilly trash.
Okay. Find me the picture of klan robes at a Trump rally. If you want to color the entire movement you need that evidence. Not 5 people in the middle of nowhere.
Slightly different than what you’re asking, but in the same line of thought:
You can also search “nazi flag at trump rally”, and get loads of pictures of people at his rallies carrying flags of hate. Just because they’re not necessarily allowed wearing clan hoods does it mean everything is a’ok.
No sir. I’m not seeing that with “Nazi Flag at Trump Rally” and CPAC isn’t even on the radar of the average voter. Most people have their interaction with Trump at his rallies and via conservative news. I’m not saying everything is okay. The man brought back 1800’s xenophobic myths on the national debate stage. But again the average voter isn’t thinking about it that way. They’re engaged with it in a fearful way because that’s how Fox News gave it to them.
And you guys are still massively missing the point. This is a third of our country. Alienating them plays into the hand of extremists. They need to see they’re wrong. Not be shunned out of a society that killed their jobs, left them in broken towns, brought them the opioid crisis, and ignores their needs. They are the epitome of believing government is broken because the Republicans broke it. And you can’t fix that by calling them trash. You have to find a way to bring them good governance again. Get them back into mainstream stuff.
This entire flipping thread has been nothing but a project in othering. And you can’t do that to 33% of your country without severe consequences.
You get judged by the company you keep
So I’m assuming you’re okay with being accused of supporting China and tankies?
And you got that from what?
Normal people don’t hang out with klansman, we beat the shit out of them.
These people are far from normal. They’re downright weird.
