In general, I like to read viewpoints that are different than mine, it's challenging. Listening to people who agree with me is boring. Dog whistle politics is certainly pervasive in politics on all sides, and it is an important thing for people to recognize.
Yeah, me too. I just like it when the writers are at least a little insightful. I never get that sense from Scott Adams.
It reminds me a little of being back in high school when I read his stuff, a few decades ago, when my pals and I were starting to, tentatively and sloppily, feel out bigger philosophical ideas about the world.
"Trump has never mentioned race beyond pointing how how many African-Americans and Latinos support him. Ask your anti-Trumper to offer evidence otherwise. Then point out…"
Do people actually buy this absolute bullshit? Just unbelievable. Good one. I guess he hasn't called migrants from Mexico rapists? I guess his discussion of the judge's race and nationality wasn't racist either? yeah?
And yes, separating out his xenophobia and religious discrimination against Muslims is much better than lumping that in with his other racist speech. Now I'm dying to support him.
His fellow GOPers are calling him a racist and yet somehow I'm expected to just ignore reality? Scott Adams is really a piece of work in this blog post of mental gymnastics. The little pity party he throws for himself at the bottom is a nice touch. God forbid someone hold those voting for fascists accountable. It's almost like minorities and LGBT folk have more at stake or something.
Regarding Donald Trump's racism, this is how he can be racist without saying "black people are stupid and smelly" on national TV:
