    He’s saying the quiet part out loud. And all the monkeys in his teabagger base that are supposedly all for “freedom” and “the Constitution” beat off to it.

      This, I think, is one of the largest changes Trump instilled in his followers.

      They aren’t scared of being outed as a racist because the former cheeto in chief was always saying the quiet part out loud. Then his supporter politicians. Then his base.

      I’m balding, horribly, and as such shave my head. Otherwise I wind up looking like I spent a vacation in Chernobyl.

      The amount of people who are openly racist around me has quadrupled since 2016, easily.

      Makes me wanna see if there are any SHARP groups around locally.

        Are you saying that because you look like a skinhead that more people are outing themselves to you?

          It’s a real thing. My brother shaved his head for a couple years, and then allowed what he could to grow back in because right around 2017, people started just engaging him on the WILDEST topics. I remember him telling me that one plant worker at his glass plant just started talking to him (a top-level manager) about the Great Replacement and how we needed to “be ready to get rid of those types” just while he was walking around doing safety checks for the day.

            Yeah, I’ve heard far too many magabrained just casually reference the “need” to cull the herd, purge liberals, get women back in the kitchen and under the boot of their husbands, put “those” people in their place (if not just outright murder/imprison them), and so on…

            There have always been people like this, but I’ve noticed quite an uptick in the number of them and how emboldened they seem to be since donnie came down that escalator.
