As said a bit ago on a different post, I saw an awful racist thing that Trump posted overnight. It was, and I’m not posting it, about the Obamas AND posted during Black History Month. Now, I don’t know if it’s dementia kicking in, or some worrisome part of hit brain not functioning correctly or, as some Republican try to say, he is just joking and thinks this is funny. IF that were the case, what the fool is wrong with any adult who finds this funny? Imagine is there’s any parent that wants their school age children to be made fun of and bullied without speaking to the school’s administration. More than that, the PRESIDENT ought to be above this as a LEADER of our country and not just some crass shmoe. A lot of us fit into that latter category but we aren’t trying to have the power to lead the nation and set an example, except within our own circles. And generally, the type of Nazi or KKK people who are racists are avoided by decent people. That shows you that Trump is NOT a decent person in case you somehow could not figure that out besides a plethora of examples.
If every Republican elected official does not condemn the truth social post of Trump they should be seen as likewise racist sacks of shit and will be shunned in history.

According to The Daily Beast, that racist meme wsa up for 12 hours and Trump has still not apologized for posting it. Ugh.
But many critics didn’t buy the fact that a staffer was responsible.
“They really think we’re stupid,” said Brian Allen, founder of Allen Analysis.
“This “oops, it was a staffer” excuse might work on MAGA, but anyone with a functioning brain past the 5th-grade level sees it for what it is: They posted it. They defended it. They got backlash. Now they’re lying. Same playbook. Every time.”
Donald Trump is a racist.

Trump’s White House, including Leavitt initially defended this horrible video, but finally took it down by blaming it on someone else Still have not heard John Cornyn, Ted Cruz or Roger Williams denouncing this.
is there ANYONE besides a degenerate who enjoys this? If you can’t speak up by actively denouncing this type of thing, then your affiliation with the Republican party, of which Trump is the head, marks you as someone to be avoided.
First up, Christian Nationalists not only do not understand the history of this country (or maybe they do, they just don’t like the Constitution, but are actively trying to proselytize everyone into being bigoted people like them. Read this.
the founding documents prioritize religious freedom and do not create a Christian nation.
Does the U.S. Constitution establish Christianity as an official religion?
No.
What does the Constitution say about religion?
“(N)o religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” (Article VI)
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” (First Amendment)
…“Christian nationalism has traditionally employed images that advocate an idealized view of the nation’s identity and mission, while deliberately ignoring those persons who have been excluded, exploited, and persecuted,” said a 2021 statement from the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA, an umbrella group that includes multiple progressive denominations.
Therefore, anyone who wants to demand that everyone must be christian, no, farther, their particular sect of Christianity based upon the constitution is pushy and wrong. I can remember when I was younger that Catholics were attacked by bigots as not being the correct religion and therefore deserved to be on the outs. That has changed over time but apparently still holds true among christian bigots, like the current speaker of the House in Congress, Mike Johnson. Johnson apparently did not like that the current Catholic Pope wants to show mercy to migrants and decided to attack him.
Speaker Mike Johnson just tried to mansplain the Bible to the Vicar of Jesus Christ. It’s the latest in a long MAGA campaign to smear Pope Leo XIV — and it falls apart under any honest reading of Scripture.

So Johnson does not believe in mercy, which at least in the way I was raised, was a quality that was a hallmark of christian religion. What is happening right now with thugs in ICE is denounced by many wonderful people, so why in the world is political Johnson trying to speak for Americans that, basically, if you don’t agree with Republicans that border security that includes concentration camps, lack of rule of law, etc he is the voice of speaking for everyone. He is not. I personally am not Catholic and do not believe that one man can speak for everyone, but the same goes for Mike Johnson. Who remembers that, for example, the Southern Baptist sect started because that group of people wanted to have SLAVES. Do people still think this and if they do, they’re pretty scummy right?
Here’s Stephen Colbert on that
Here is a cartoon I think shows that happens to the bigots that believe the following.
They got the Christian nationalist America they always wanted. And now they get to enjoy it alone.

Anyway, no one honest believes you are a good christian if you defend this or think that you just won’t say anything about it and it will go away while you can pretend you are a good person.
