At the rate these lawsuits from Trump's legal team are going, some of his lawyers might lose licences. Tbh, I'm shocked he even has a legal team. If I was a lawyer, no way in hell would I touch this. 50% chance he doesn't have the money to pay legal counsel (Probably using donations if he is). If he does, 50% he'll try and sue you out of getting paid.
Actually I believe two of the lawfirms who were representing him in various cases pulled out last week because they saw the writing on the wall and didn't want to waste their time and have their image damaged too much by going along with these largely pointless lawsuits that they knew would end in defeat.

I agree with you that Republican policies are immensely harmful to minorities. But I don’t think voters actively want bad things to happen to minorities generally, it’s much more low key, like they don’t see anything wrong with the status quo, or believe it’s poor people’s own fault for not working harder and smarter. Not so much that they want to have stormtroopers kill poor people or black people, or even Muslims.
Originally posted by ArtolI'm talking domestic policy, but I still feel there is a fringe of the Trumpers especially who just think brown people are naturally violent terrorists. They hide behind terrorism because, well, nobody likes terrorism, but there are Trumpers who think being brown makes them more inclined, which I never really understood.... dumb rednecks.

How can you denounce hate and ignorance but call someone a dumb redneck? Lol can you not see the irony?
Most issues come from lack of education. What you don’t know you fear. You ultimately want to destroy what you fear.
Joe Rogan #1419 Daryl Davis: A black man who converted over 200 KKK members. I recommend you give it a listen. A great dude.

It's really my feeling that a lot of white people in the US see black people as different, as in, a different species (most of them deny evolution)..........................................................the irony, I know.
It's retarded, if anything, but whatever, I'll google your Daryl Davis and watch.

Wait what? Wdym who Joe Rogan is? Are you implying he’s somehow racist? Or worse, involved with White Supremacists? Black KKK members? Lol Jesus wept.
You just said you feel like a lot of white people are racist. How is that different than someone in the KKK saying he feels like a lot of black people are on welfare and are criminals? You’re judging someone based on their race and nothing to do with their personal identity.
Both of those statements, can probably be supported with some superficial data. In fact, I’d have a lot easier time proving that in 2020, black people are criminally oriented etc. That however is just nonesense. Perpetuated by racist policies, terrible policing, and reinforced by a prison industrial complex that has modernized slavery.
Thank you for keeping an open mind. Mr. Davis devoted his life to seeking out KKK members, learning why they hate, and just having a conversation with them. It grew into something big.
P.S. The US is one of the most, if not the most diverse countries in the world. It is staggering how well integrated some people are. A lot of European countries are incredibly homogenous in comparison, and the influx of migration in the last decade has created a lot of problems. Expect those to come to a head in the next decade. If people in the US turned off media and Twitter, you guys will realize the American experiment is amazing. The ideals the constitution aspires to are so strong, that the main identifier of a multiracial nation is that they are American, no matter the country of origin. That is very ****ing rare and should be applauded.

You're missing the point, I was trying to make. I'm still watching the Daryl Davis interview anyway. I'll get back to you.
"in every sense of the word", eh?
that would mean that he's also mediocre at being mediocre, so his mediocrity cancels itself out; which makes him the greatest. reply to this post if you agree. If you choose not to reply, I'll also know you agree.
oh crap I think I caught gdf-covid, I just tried to lure someone into baby games, so that I could manufacturer some artificial personal triumph. sorry everyone!

It's incredible. Why don't they just flat out say "we want to rally up a lot of troops, and kill brown people"
Bush Jr. Obama, and Biden did that for 16 years. Trump did it a bit for 4 years but seems to have started to wind down those activities (good direction but no excuse to just stop all of it when he took office since he kind of ran on that promise in 2016).
Dems and GOP overwhelmingly supported the murder of brown people. Bruh.

Always viewed this is another cancel culture intimidation tactic. It has no teeth. Just trying to scare them into stopping.

Hmm
I suppose. Can't really think of anything that stands out. Other than him knowing obscure news stories during his interviews. Sometimes, they are only tangential to the convo and it makes him seem a bit scatter brained.
