It was a remarkable moment Monday night at the Republican National Convention, surely creating some amount of confusion among longtime Republicans, when Sean O’Brien, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, delivered a stemwinder of a speech in prime time. He called former President Donald Trump a “tough S.O.B.”

Even the teamsters are showing up.

          I just don’t get what is in it for you to pretend he isn’t a racist. We all know he is a racist, that’s a fact, you can read all sorts of evidence. We all know the major reason for Trumpanzees to join the cult is racism, there is evidence for that also.

          Are you trying to fool yourself into believing that Republicanism isn’t about racism? Or is it some sort of trolling effort, like you think it makes people angry that you deliberately ignore objective reality? Seems childish either way.

              All you post are sources widely recognized as unreliable. Dinesh and Heritage, lol. And pretending that if Biden has made racist statements then Repubs must not be racist.

              Repubs are catering to racists and have been for decades. Dogwhistling, stoking racial tensions, nakedly racist leadership like Donald. It is very obvious and overt. That’s what the majority of your fellow Repubs are voting for. Maybe you are voting primarily for different reasons, but you are a-okay with the blatant white supremacy.

                  Did Vox not provide links sources for their claims? I also posted the NYT, maybe they did? Lol. What source will you accept regarding Donald’s racism? (Nothing, of course.)

                  And here you post an op ed about one dude’s opinions with no sourced evidence and accept that as gospel.

                  Quite frankly, you are brainwashed. Until you are willing to look at your sources critically and check their veracity, you will remain brainwashed.
