    Let’s not overuse weird, a ton of what he does is super weird but this isn’t really; it’s just racist which is pretty in character for him and his base

      To be fair, racism is weird. It’s not normal, and most Americans are not racist. People need to start talking out and letting everyone know we don’t support that nonsense, and hopefully we’ll eradicate it.

        I absolutely agree racism should be called out whenever and wherever possible, I’m just not sure calling it weird is the right way to do that.

        Also most Americans may not be explicitly racist the way trump and right wingers are but the majority certainly have internal prejudices or biases. Many left leaning people I know have had to put work and intentionality into unlearning patterns of thought or biases

          It’s working. It has been getting under their skin more and more.
