  Just trash. Many of them aren’t white, just fucking brain dead / religiously indoctrinated / mentally ill.

    Huh? Elected US Republicans are overwhelmingly white and mostly men.

      Not them, but it’s important to be aware that white supremacy is not only limited to white people. As tempting as it is, we trick ourselves by oversimplifying, and it’s just plain tactless to use racial insults (regardless of how one means it, what matters is how other people interpret it).

        You can’t be racist towards white people, calling a bunch of racists ‘white trash’ is free game.

  Hey, don’t insult trash like that. US Republicans are far, far, far, far worse than that.

    You’re right, at least you can recycle some trash, these guys are just toxic waste: Useless, harmful and actively making the world a worse place for everyone else.

  A lot, if not most, poor white people are good people. Poverty doesn’t make people evil. That is class based propaganda and anyone who believes it has been fooled.

  The Trumpist alliance of fascists manipulates people with populist appeals and will use them as foot soldiers. A lot of white people feel alienated by the pace of change around them and that makes then susceptible. Just like the alt-health crown whose brains were broken by the pandemic. Or the young men who were brought up in digital cages and never learned social skills. Their leadership doesn’t give a fuck about those people. They are a means to an end.

  Also everyone needs to stop blaming boomers. Most are poor and worked hard all their life for fuck all and many are living out their days in miserable sub-standard aged care.
