Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

People have forgotten...

"The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son."

Never ending cycle of hatred is being forced upon everyone, because this tenet has been forgotten. And I'm not even religious, this is just common sense and the way a society survives.

Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, all failures on the part of Republican presidents to intervene in countries in the midst of civil wars without any possible chance of success. To the tune of trillions of dollars and thousands of Americans dead.

Shame on conservative media.

Noticeably absent in your rant is Obama's military action in Libya which helped to overthrow the government and now slavery of black people is rampant in the country.

But like the rest of your alt-left brethren you don't really give a single shit about black people, or women, or gays, or Muslims, you just use them as pawns to push your backwards and hateful political agenda. Fuck you.

And yet it was Bush who got us started in said wars. Obama failed to end our involvement, it's true, but let's not forget it was Bush and his cronies whose lies got us into Iraq to begin with

Because the sins of the parent are easily passed to the kids. Physical and sexual abuse to name a couple. Racism is another. I'm not saying it's set in stone that they will do these things obviously but I would definitely be watching closely.

You're talking about something different, but I see what you were trying for.

Essentially it's someone else should not be punished for the misdeeds of others.

That's not at all what that quote means.

Your bigotry has made you say some really stupid shit lately.

Watching someone who votes Republican call other people bigots is mindblowing.

You've quoted Tucker Carlson in the past, and he's a straight up white supremacist who just interviewed an ethnonationalist hungarian dictator and told everyone we should be more like him.

You don't support any measures at all to help people of color specifically, nor are you willing to acknowledge that people of color face huge structural disadvantages. The GOP has been passing laws that specifically work to depress turnout ("Turnout control" they call it) of people of color and has been removing polling locations by the thousands from predominantly minority neighborhoods to make it harder for them to vote, has specifically targeted Sunday voting to stop "Souls to the Polls" from happening, and has engaged in such extreme racial gerrymanders to dilute the minority vote that a metric ton of them have had to be thrown out in court.

You heard people say "Black Lives Matter", and you had a conniption calling large groups of black people protesting "thugs" and "criminals" for the largest set of protests in US history, 94% of which were completely peaceful while having very little to say about a bunch of white guys who attacked Congress and broke into our Capitol causing legitimate violence and running around tying to find and kill elected officials.

You were so freaked out at the notion of black lives mattering that you had to change the subject to "All lives matter" because "Black Live Matter" was apparently just too offensive a for you.

You "really care about illegal immigration", but all you ever talk about are illegal border crossings from Latin American immigrants. Even though Visa overstays are responsible for the majority of undocumented immigrants- 62% vs 38%. You really only care about brown people being here.

And you supported a man who ran on a Muslim ban in the US and railing against those foreigners (brown people from Latin America) who were criminals, rapists, etc.

You belong to a party that's 80% white and refuse to listen to what actual people of color are telling you they need.

You are so damn racist that if we hit you with a stick, a bunch of Klansmen would come falling out.

In other words, not only did you shut off your brain when you encountered an unwelcome fact, your tribalist mindset caused you to be proud of doing so.

Thinking someone can’t be a bigot if they vote Democrat is perhaps the most bigoted and dumbest thing I have ever read.
