Exactly. Coming from a brown person, this is fucking racist.
Comment on Uncle Dad voted for him right before he went to get the meth from Aunt Grandma!

What the fuck is this low effort orange man bad content. Half the reason they are going running to a strongman is all the hill billy bullshit like this. Treat them like humans, not stereotypes.
I am not saying they are good people but this literally helps no one. Get fucked.

I think the avrasive, comical take here is well-earned. Anyone who thinks this guy is anything like Jesus is just as ridiculous as this picture, if not more so.
I don’t think it’s meant to solve anything… I think it’s just a comedic vent for the absurdity we’re all experiencing.
There are swarms of people directly comparing Trumps extra-marital affair with a porn star to the literal condemnation of Christ from Pontius Pilate. This brings the image above into a pretty accurate light.
It’s not saying every Trump supporter is this person, but it is saying anyone declaring him Christ-like at this stage is just as dumb as the image above appears.

Economically comfortable (until very recently maybe), smug middle class lefties using harmful stereotypes to punch down on conservative voters has been a long running embarrassment to the political landscape.
The demographic these jokes target often have the least amount of freedom to spend on being politically engaged and figuring out who is actually in their best interest, which is why they usually end up voting for a strong personality like Trump and the right’s bias towards the Christian inspired philosophy.
When the left space fills it’s self with explicitly elitist, classist, and exclusionary rhetoric like this just so they can all sit around a jerk each other off about how much more smarter they are, they only end up pushing them furtherer away from learning about the left and developing a more nuanced and informed political world-view. If you don’t have a lot of time to spend on yourself, are you going to waste it surrounding your self with people who constantly blabber about how much they hate you and think your a incestuous degenerate drug addict invalid?
