Comment on CNN data reporter predicts Trump will win ‘historic’ number of Black and Hispanic voters

It’s still doesn’t change that the Republican party coddles white supremacy and their behavior aligns with that ideology. One could say it has been a consistent trend.
So, it’s not really a “false flag operation” if that is actually the real nature of the right and far-right. These events just just help “Unite the Right”, as it were.

There’s just not that many racists around, liberals have to fake most hate crimes to keep the boogie man alive. There’s no advantage to courting such a small group at the expense of losing people from so many other groups.

Did you really just use the “It’s fake, but it’s not really fake, so blame someone else”, line? Holy fuck, you’re cracked.
Hate crimes have been on a rapid increase since (surprise) 2016, which aligns perfectly with trumpisim giving racists permission to come out of their closet.
Even in this community, rhetoric is amplified with the number of anti-immigration posts during election cycles and anti-muslim posts for filler. That is very on-brand.

No I used reason to show why it makes no sense to court a very small group at the expense of other groups.
A study of hate crimes in 2019 found over 2/3rds of hate crimes have been confirmed to be hoaxes.
It’s anti illegal immigration, and immigration reform that benifits the US. What’s wrong with that. I have not seen these anti Muslim posts you claim.

You literally launched into a “bUt thE lIbrUls” line.
Lol. “A study.” A guy who wrote a book on it disagrees with your 2/3rds number.
