That's the problem: It should be, if not legally, at least in terms of electability.
But with enough of a proportion of racists in the electorate, it's no wonder racists get elected.
Good bye and godspeed, America; it was nice knowing you.
- rexpop 2y ago> it was nice knowing you. Not sure you ever "knew" America if you think this is the first time racists were ever elected.
- CRConrad 2y agoYeah no, I don't think that. But: 1) Back then, racists were elected everywhere else too. America didn't much stand out just because of that. 2) Back then, America a) wasn't led by a moroniac[§], and b) didn't intentionally alienate itself from the rest of the world. And I'm afraid it's really goodbye this time. I mean, 2016-20 was weird enough, but then we thought normalcy had returned... But then you -- or they? -- went and re-elected him. There's just no way of knowing where America will go; looks like a total basket-case. Seems quite a lot of Americans agree with me on that, BTW. Didn't they ever know America either? ___ [§]: Maniacal moron, or moronic maniac? Can't make up my mind.
