Unhinged Republican candidate calls Kamala Harris a "little wh*re" as GOP descends into misogyny
I’d also challenge “unhinged” - the oppressive systems we all live under are designed to make this shit the norm, they not only breed and encourage racism, misogyny and the rest, but reward those with the privilege and sense of entitlement it gives who do them “best”, it’s why people in such positions can and do say such things, and suffer absolutely zero consequences.
(to be clear, I’m not condoning the behaviour or saying it’s ok in any way, just that these people are not “unhinged”, they are actioning exactly in the way white supremacist patriarchal capitalism normalises and encourages them to)
This is what I was waiting for.
Faced with a black/asian woman, the Republicans just aren’t going to be able to help themselves - their hateful bigotry is going to keep rearing its ugly head.
The key moment is going to be when Candidate Lardbucket himself lets some of his own racism and misogyny fall out of his festering gob. That’s going to be glorious.
Honestly, I am too.
I fully expected it, but not this soon.
Looking forward to more though. Every one of these is just more votes against Trump.
We’ll never change the base. Their investment in Trump and conservatism is more akin to religious faith than ideology, and just as with religion, to question it would be to undermine the basis for their (clearly unjustified) conviction that they’re decent and moral.
I don’t think we really need to worry about changing their children either. Their children are already changing, which is an awful lot of the reason for their egregiously anti-democracy panic. They recognize at some level that the tide of history is turning against them, and they can’t stand it. They think they can stop that process through force and fraud, and don’t seem to understand that all they can do that way is maybe postpone it a bit, or that bybtrying to save their justly dying ideology that way, they ensure that a day of reckoning will come - that they’ll go down in history as not just an abandoned ideology, but a justly destroyed one.
“they”
Little fish are taking these early bites. Don’t play along.
I hear you and want to believe this too, but I am forever surprised at how much pro Trumpers are willing to ignore and just how many of them there are. His base will cheer him on and the rest will make excuses or turn a blind eye.
I hope I’m wrong
willing to ignore
Ignore? I have it on unfortunately good authority that at least a decent chunk of his base agree with what he is spouting and are loving how he “speaks the truth” or “says what they’re all thinking”. Sadly he’s enabling more and more of them to feel comfortable saying the quiet part out loud and acting on their impulses.
He’s losing extremists to his VP pick having a immigrant wife and mixed race kids, and he’s losing moderate with his VP pick who is an extremist.
He’s soon to lose a huge amount of women over bodily autonomy, he’s promised to build concentration camps for Latinos, he’s literally citing ‘operation wetback’ as a mission statement. He’s gonna really eat shit when he’s the old idiot that can’t talk right versus the average mental acuity displayed by an opponent who is too young to retire, and has public speaking skills beyond the average 12 year old.
This is blowing up so severely, he’s already panicking.
operation wetback
Come again?
Also, why did my keyboard let me swipe “wetback”? Racist-ass keyboard.
I have no doubt his base will ignore it at best, and an awful lot of them will cheer it on.
But the base doesn’t matter. They’ll vote for him absolutely no matter what.
What matters is all of the moderates and independents and such - all of the people who could go either way. They’re the ones who are likely to decide that Trump and the republicans are just too foul to support.
Republican Missouri secretary of state candidate Valentina Gomez just went on an unhinged rant attacking Vice President Kamala Harris on X, where she called her a “little wh*re,” as conservatives posted misogynist memes and jokes about Harris.
“Kamala Harris slept her way to the top, and Tulsi Gabbard already destroyed and exposed her in 2020. Kamala is just another DEI hire, and President Trump is going to eat her alive,” she said in a video.
I hate to break it to you but you’re never going to be racist or sexist enough to be fully accepted by them…
I also grew up in Missouri, though I live in Kansas now, and I know several people who fit that description.
The thing that kills me about Missouri is that it used to be a competitive state for moderate Democrata, but the rural chunks of the state fell victim to right wing populism during the Tea Party wave in 2010 and now there’s a whole generation of Missourians whose defining political characteristic is rancorous hate for “liberal” city people. Kansas’ politics aren’t great, either, but at least the rural voters care about farm issues here… In Missouri, particularly south of I-70 where the only real industry they ever had was lead mining, all that’s left is the hate they’ve been fed from right wing assholes.
Keep your powder dry. “Little whore” is going to seem mild compared to what’s coming.
Harris has to run a smart campaign. A competence revolution. An adult is there to take the wheel.
lol come on guys that’s so lazy. Like sure, it’s offensive, but I’m sure she’s genuinely more entertained by the fact that she’s living rent-free in the heads of the racist and sexist portion of America.
And I would like to add: fuck you, trumpians. I am fucking enjoying having the shoe on the other foot. We’ll still give you hurricane repair money or whatever, but I am LOVING that you’re getting even a fraction of what the rest of the country and the world experienced for four fucking years.
This is the same candidate who filmed an ad where she is running with a bulletproof vest, a pistol and a rifle down the streets and then says “in America you can be anything you want, so don’t be weak and gay” and tagged Andrew Tate on it.
Seems she’s amping up the Marjorie Taylor green strategy of saying the most outrageous offensive shit to trigger the libs and rally her bigoted base.
$5 says she calls Kamala’s VP pick a pedophile.
