The Problem With Trump
This is as coherently as I can write with the phone, and I'm posting it here because I couldn't post it to Wheelus. It's a story illustrating why I'm not concerned about the reports of Trump's racism.

Thought for the day, OS: I think I've mentioned R before. American of Mexican descent who I subcontracted stuff to, back when I was a person.

About four or five years ago some political group had put up a billboard on hwy 90, right by the turnoff to the shop. It featured Ronald Reagan in a denim shirt and white cowboy hat and a gigantic smile, with "Remember real hope and change!" next to the picture.

R. being conservative in nature, took a picture of it on his phone, and posted it to his Facebook page.

A niece of his in Fatlanta posted back that she thought it was racist. Apparently seriously.

If Mexicans are going to adhere to the great leftist suicide religion by a 4 to 1 margin, and dismiss any deviation from that as Racist!eleventy, then non religious leftists are going to dismiss their opinions as "they're just a bunch of la raza stooges..." which I understand is closer to what Trump said than "he's just a goddamn ______..."

The real problem with Trump? If I post numbers, facts and figures to certain allegedly mainstream websites, say, links to Anthony Watts' site, they'll be censored as 'denialism' and memory holed as just another nazi.

Trump can blast through that shit by not caring, and he gets airtime while doing it. If he really is a racist, he's been empowered by the people who called me, R, and The Huntress (who I later found out helped put up the sign) racist for not being devout little socialists

#3 Shouting 'racist' is just the Left's way of letting you know they are losing an argument. If Hillary is elected this will morph to 'sexist'.

#5 Since when is "Mexican" a race?

Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid, Mexicoid? One of those got left out in the school I went to.
