One example I’ve seen is someone talking about being coconut-pilled.

      I don’t even care. The right is floundering right now because they focused all of their attention on Joe, so they’re going to just throw random insults at anyone attached to the campaign now, and it’s because they are realizing they don’t have an actual platform to run on. They were just predicated on loving trump and anti joe, and now they actually might have to come up with some ideas, and of course they don’t have any.

      Whatever, let them hurl racist insults. She won’t care, and neither will I. I’m busy telling voters what the actual issues are.

        You’re right. They can’t run on it and they’re trying to disavow it, but they do have a platform. Its Project 2025 and we can’t let folks forget that.

          The absolutely have a platform: Greed. The platform it’s always been. All the culture war bullshit is to distract from them robbing the taxpayers blind via tax cuts.

        Hell, the more racist insults they fling, the more chance they scare away more moderate voters. Sure, it doesn’t mean they may vote for Kamala, but they may vote a write in or even stay home

      There are already facebook groups and memes going around claiming that she is not a US Citizen and wanting her birth certificate.

      They evidently do not know how citizenship works or where she was born (Oakland), but uh she’s brown so obviously she is some kind of illegal immigrant or something, I guess.

      Vivek Ramiswamy (sp?) and JD Vance’s wife were already treated horribly by Republican racists, of course there is going to be a racist rhetoric against Kamala.

      call Harris a monkey as a not-at-all-subtle racist dog whistle.

      Is it relly a dog whistle though? I mean, this is a big regular obvious whistle if I’ve ever seen one
