I keep writing about my RW "Friend" here on DU.
After sharing an extremely racist post then stating "I hate when people call me a racist, after posting a normal post", I cut all ties, and have not spoken with her since late August/early September. She has reached out a couple of times, but I just ignore them.

As I see it, these people have no clue that they are racists. They think they are just proud about their whiteness and a typical American.
We will never get to them, so I've stop trying.
I kept telling her that I was trying to make her a better person, to no avail.

I go back to Steve Schmidt's letter,



and I completely agree with the statement

"... We won't be reaching out, and we won't be mending fences.
It's not up to us to apologize for the wounds you have gleefully inflicted upon us and our friends.
You poured the gasoline, you lit the match. You burned this to the ground. ..."

You almost never meet a racist who isn't either fooling themselves, or faking it too well to spot the difference. They're the least honest political faction there is, and that's saying something next to the fake libertarian corporatist greedhead wing.

The covert racism is hidden well, to the point you think they're normal.

But once in a while it becomes overt, and their true colors appear.

That happened with Pendejo45 in charge.
Racism was mostly covert, then their overtness appeared.

Sorry, I couldn’t resist but I get your point.😉

Tucker, here is a clue or two...

If you don’t get up every day and think about how your skin color will impact your day then you suffer from white privilege.

If you whine about “Western Civilization” or if you think that because you have light skin you are owed something then you are a white supremacist.

And if you are poor white and whine and think the world owes you something because of your skin then you are a fucking idiot who has been completely played by the power holders and spewers of hate and agitprop.

be more absurd or words to that affect. Little did Stewart, or any of us know, what was coming down the road. My kids saw me flipping out for 8 years of Bush and when Trump came along they accused me of crying “wolf”. We thought Bush was the absolute worse president ever and his incompetence could never be match. Trump comes along and achieves a new low. Is it possible that in the future there could be a president worse than Trump? Literally, I cannot say one good thing about Trump as a president of a man. As flawed as “W” was I never saw him as an inherently evil person. As a man I could see Bush was a decent man who was in way over his head and was lead around by the rw chicken hawks. At least at the end, Bush tried to move separate himself from Cheney and retained at least a modicum of decency as he sprinted out of office. From a historical perspective, Trump was the best thing that ever happened to George Bush.

from nixon to reagan to both of the bushes, trump has shined up their images a lot just by being so terrible.

i don't think we could have worse than trump. at least, and not survive as a democratic republic. He is so severely damaged psychologically, psychiatrically, intellectually, every which way. he's Caligula. he's hitler. the likes of trump do not come down the pike on a regular basis.

Yesterday my son and i were celebrating our new President (I feel like capitalizing that now!), and of trump he asked me, "Has there ever been a worse person in history?!"

i was so naive that i thought the republican party would dissolve after gw. he was not a good president, no not at all, and he lied to us all the time. just not nearly as much as trump. he put us into a disastrous war on false pretenses. i could go on, but you get the gist. trump is worse.

Tucker acts confused and asks questions as a way of getting the message out without actually stating it.

He’s at best second team (anyone remember the flagship host O’Reilly?) who benefited from the structure of nepotism - his father gave him his first job at CSPAN.

White supremacists promote the false belief that white descendants of Europeans are superior to other populations because their ancestors colonized and tamed the wilderness of what would later become a wealthy and powerful country and therefore they somehow should be privileged, first-class citizens of that country while other groups should accept second-class status. This first-vs-second-class citizens model has numerous inflections, including voter suppression, immigrant banning, fundamentalist Christian theocracy (which seeks to codify fundamentalist taboos like homosexuality and abortion), redlining in housing, police harassment of non-whites, etc. I don't see what's so hard to grasp about this as it's basically what groups like Identity Evropa have openly espoused, and what our founding documents generally aspired against despite including specifics (slavery, Electoral college, 2nd Amendment, etc.) that seem to support it.

When one finds himself in his most comfortable environment without a black or minority around him, even if the N word never crosses his lips - he may well be racist.
