I definitely think there would’ve been more outrage if it was Obama vs Biden, but this is a tribal thing, Democrats are ‘them’ and any perceived slight by ‘them’ must be countered in the strongest possible terms, so there would still have been plenty of outrage at Biden too.

Sure I get that loads of people really hated Obama for lots of reasons. I sincerely don’t think this is a racial thing though: it’s a tribal thing, us vs them. Republicans are perceived as being on the side of Christianity (us) so they are given a lot more leeway in these matters, where Democrats (them) are the enemy of Christianity and every slight however small must be countered in the strongest possible terms (see: ‘the war on Christmas’ and other stupid shit.)

Would the outrage have been greater if it was Obama instead of Biden? Absolutely, I’m not questioning that at all. I’m just saying don’t think there wouldn’t be outrage against Biden just because he’s not black.

Oh yeah I totally get that, that was my point: it’s not white privilege, it’s just telling people what they want to hear.

Iono about the white part, Biden couldn’t have pulled that off either.

Someone with some photoshop skill ought to change this to be the face from the painting Trump said he hated it and then reply to his post with it. Bonus points if you add some greasy McDonald’s stains to the hat and/or robe.

Yeah daily mail is basically a tabloid as I understand it, so if they’re the only source is sus af.

This headline is inflammatory clickbait (which is not surprising coming from the Jerusalem Post.) ‘Columbia students are working with Hamas’ is a world away from the truth, which appears to be that some student groups are alleged to have possibly received funding indirectly from Hamas through a labyrinthine network of organizations that even reporters are having a hard time tracing. All of this, of course, is according to an Israeli citizen and former hostage who definitely has no reason to be biased against his ideological enemies and former captors whatsoever and a lengthy chain of ‘evidence’ that is circumstantial at best, and frequently just amounts to guilt by association.

Oh I’m well aware. This is pretty much straight up Kill the Poor only without the satire.

I have been on disability for 13 years. My doctors and the SSA said I will never work again. I would complain about a missing SS check, but only, you know, until I couldn’t afford my medicine and died.
