Republican congressman Eli Crane just referred to Black service members **colored people**
In 2023.
In america.
“The military was never intended to be, you know, inclusive. Its strength is not its diversity.”
Something like this used to be career ending. For republicans—it’s a prerequisite
@PollyWaugh right?? Regressives.
Just know that republicans on average are not calculated. These are not smart people. They are just doing the worst possible thing they can: being themselves.
The effect mimics the firehose of nonsense that the Nazis used but these are deeply stupid people.
@flexghost Very sadly my reaction to this went in stages:
**colored people**
(reaction: shock)
in 2023.
(reaction: shock)
in america.
(reaction: oh, right, of course)
@glamelegance oh hey what’s up girl! Lol blocked on the other app since I use a VPN
Tonight is the music thread will we see you there?
@flexghost
Congressman JoeBob needs to sit down.
The military's strength is in how many active members it has. If he's ok with the recruiting numbers for service members of color plummeting, ok, I guess.
It's a weird flex for some pretty predictable unintended consequences.
Absolutely
And those numbers aren’t just plummeting they’re tanking. Because of republican regressives like him and that dunce Comey who is doing nothing short of obstruction of our armed forces
Eli Crane is just going with the flow!
Another reminder in which direction the GOP is headed... Back to the Future: 1950s.
Remember the 1950s public drinking fountains? 2 fountains, 1 always read "Colored Only".
How about public restrooms for men & women? "Colored Only" for both, men & women.
It's all about the GOP & White Evangelical Christianity's efforts to gain power in America!
The Grand Old Party of Lincoln is no more... it's become The Christofascist Party of Trump!
@flexghost 😳 Did President Harry Truman end segregation in the military in 1948? More than a decade before it ended in society at large.
His @GOP views are somehow more than unreconstructed, it is jarring and offensive to hear. Maybe that's the point? They want to provoke a reaction. Who still votes for goons like this? 😢
Next, they'll be reintroducing Jim Crow & wearing white bedsheets.
@flexghost When I served in the Marine Corps during the 1980s we were a brotherhood. There was no white, black, yellow, or red.
We were Marine Corps green.
Lycist
