Trump kills broadband grants, calls digital equity program “racist and illegal” - Lemmy.World

This is the guy who just recently, through overt, barely coded dog whistles, called Buttigieg a “f@**0t,” riding with his husband on a bike, and Crockett a “uppity n1@883r b1%&h” from the Oval Office. I’m a 53 year old white male from the rural South. The message was loud and clear. Believe what I’m telling you. I’ve heard this garbage my entire life, and hear the shit that’s said when it’s just us white males. The real hateful shit.

This is real. This is serious. They’re starting with “Illegal Immigrants,” and to them, deviant"Transsexuals." RFK Jr. is reported to be compiling a database of Autistic people. Before that, it was the homeless. Remember what the Nazis did to those “Undesirables.”

Just like the Nazis of 80 years ago, they’re starting with the defenseless, and the poorest.

Yeah and it’s hard to get people to believe you. I go to a church made of immigrants. Like the whole congregation except me and children. They are solid Trump supporters. When I tell them what I hear being said it’s dismissed as ‘will never happen’ , ‘that’s not what was meant’,‘it’s only gong to be the bad ones.’

They really think that they are in the ‘in’ group; being represented and that a 50 ish year old white man raised ‘conservative’ just doesn’t get it.

What gets me is the other poor white people I know.

They think they’re “Special.” They’re on “The Team.” Trump would have a beer with them. He’s looking out for them.

The truly dumbest, deluded, ignorant, and just irredeemable humans on the planet.

And maybe most importantly, lacking any empathy for others. Even if they were right and they were on The Team while others suffered... to be happy about that with no compassion at all towards other human beings is a terrible way to live a life.
At least in my case, they are truly caring people. They actually care when others are doing bad. There are very different sets of messages being sent
