Long before that, actually. Check out the Gilded Age.

why do they keep telling on themselves and think they made a point? just because *they* will categorically hate someone specifically based on race doesn't mean everyone else does. there are extremely pertinent and valid reasons to have MAJOR issues with Thomas. and being black has absolutely nothing to do with any of it.

Want someone competent to create AI images for your stories? I'm available pro bono. Seriously. No, I'm not a pro but apparently you've hired a chimp on meth to create images for you.

Hit me up.

[A]lthough we suspect "effectiveness" in this case measures whether they believe Trump still hates the same people they hate.

Probably, although I suspect it also means "still able to keep pissing off the libs."

The other Republican presidential candidates, and the Republican prez candidates of previous years, offered the Republican base the same old methadone maintenance bigotry. Benedict Donald gave that Orc-horde pure China White bigotry, straight up the mainline, and they adore him for it.

Seriously, that's it. That's his "charisma"; he swapped the dog whistle for a bullhorn.

He's a fantastic salesman. He peddles bullshit but I have to tell you, he is a fantastic salesman.

If the guy had used his abilities for good, he could have been incredible. And I'm not blowing smoke.

But he's not a good guy and he did not use his immense powers of persuasion for anything good. It's a shame but here's what dishonest people figure out way before the honest people do:

You can tell other people anything you want and if it's what they want to hear, they will not care one bit if you're being honest with them or not.

That's true! The QAnon Cretins think it's AWESOME because now there's a precedent for indicting former presidents.

Which means the REAL indictments of Obama, Clinton, etc. are only two weeks away.

Checkmate, libs!
