“Oh Trump is a conman, he’s pulling the wool over peoples eyes” Yeah to some degree, but the main core reason he was President and might well be President again is a lot of people fucking love being racist

Yeah, he's a conman but where most conmen prey on their mark's greed he's preying on the mark's racism. The mark isn't innocent here.

More than the racism I think is the cult of the me, and the cult of the I want to be rich and not be taxed, and a deep culture of incuriosity and anti-intellectualism

i think a big part of this is people thinking folks believe in racism as some kind of philosophical position and it’s not, it is a pleasure, a thrill. folks don’t just believe in racism, they get off on it, and that’s a different kind of attachment than most the rest of us have to our politics

You mean "bigoted". French people don't care about race/skin color, they accept mostly only secular western culture. That is bigoted, but not racist.

And it fucking sucks because I’d love to believe in the idea that if everyone voted and had their say we’d have good enlightened leaders and I don’t know. I don’t know looking at the history of our country why that would necessarily be the case.

Also, too: conmen con people into believing what they already want to believe. If they didn't already want to be racist dirtbags, no amount of wool over no number of eyes was going to make that happen.

He pulls the wool over some people's eyes and frees others from their pointy hoods. It's all about the hats with him.

"They will hurt people I don't like" is the simplest answer that neoliberals don't want to accept, globally. And, my God are we worse off for it.

Like, Biden's two worst policies (Gaza and Immigration) are justified by politicos under the guise of not wanting to lose moderate racist voters.

Being racist gives a shot of endorphins, so there's a reward mechanism for it. Unfortunately.
