Just wait until you hear what trump just tweeted about the jews…
I mean, he didn’t, but you were already prepared to say to yourself “Oh god, what NOW???”
Mostly because him, and controversial shit are just on brand for him. Like I could say he reverse pardoned the central park 5. That’s where you force a conviction even if the crime isn’t true.
And some people would believe me. And a reverse pardon isn’t even a thing. And even if it was, he doesn’t take oath until tomorrow.
Some people could still believe me. That’s just how shitty of a person he’s historically been, and how often he’s been shitty, that you could make up any obviously false claims, and it would still seem plausible.
I like to think I’m not any more gullible than anyone else, but every time I’ve heard something horrible from the orange convict, it’s beyond preposterous and somehow even worse than I was dreading. Yes, I’m prepared to hear and believe even worse. Yes, I can no longer enjoy political comedy because reality is more ridiculous
I thought so too, but then reading the article actually made it a bit less racist than initial thoughts. They had been celebrating Lee in January a good 70 years before MLKJ got his day in January. Still racist, but I can see politicians being like “fuck it. We’re not having two holidays a week apart from each other”.
Also, wouldn’t it be just as upsetting to racists in support of Lee as it is to non racists in support of MLKJ?
Funny, I’d have thought that celebrating a failed insurrectionist leader who fought for slavery is racist, regardless of how long they’d been doing it.
But if you’re going to get rid of the two holidays and only have one and celebrate it on MLK day, why not just call it MLK day instead of insisting on still celebrating Lee? Hell, it’s almost worse the more I think about it. If they had some random holiday that celebrated Lee and kept it around mostly just to get a day off you might have a point.
If that’s not the most racist thing I’ve heard in a while…

Trump just ate a cat.
Bullshit, he’d never eat pussy
I knew he was Hatian! How has he hidden that do well
/ducks and runs
Actually that would have genuinely suprised me considering how much Trump shills for jews and Israel.
This feels like serious doublethink

Well sure it’s racist, but it’d be more racist if they created the day and put it there solely out of spite.

Are we caring what upsets racists?
Also, that doesn’t make it better.
