    At this point I’ve come to understand that he enables their racism and that is all that matters to them. The world could burn, but as long as they could let their racism feel accepted they’ll do whatever it takes.

      I think you are right. I saw them absolutely besides themselves over “PC” back in the early 90s. Even with all the so-called “tyranny” of political correctness, you’d still see some dickhead say something egregiously racist, homophobic, sexist, whatever, and then say, “oops, I guess that’s not PC!” and think that was delightfully cute or something.

      And then I saw their bullshit grievances reach fever pitch when they bitched and whined about conservatives being “censored” or “cancelled” in more recent years - lol, yeah, right. And then they cheered when Elon bought Xitter for the “free speech”, roftlmao.

      But they really just want to be able to say the n-word. To tell racist jokes again, in public and without anyone giving them side-eye. I’m sure they were positively giddy when Pete Hegseth used the word tr__y.

      But this really, really, really seems to be the primary motivator for them, and none of them have ever really been “censored” or “cancelled”.

      I’ll tell you what’s at the bottom of it. If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.
