I think you are imagining things. I don't know anybody having to fear being accused of racism if they aren't. It's really simple. Behave decently and everything is fine. If they feel pressure then there is going to be a reason for it. Whether you recognise that, or accept it are other questions.

Are you feeling OK? You have swallowed so much bs that it seems to have affected your ability to think straight.

The ONLY reason that the media report bad things about Trump is because he does bad things. The answer to that is, and always has been, in his own hands. Trump has always wanted enemies to rail against. It's his MO. The MSM, immigrants, Democrats, anyone who argues with him, are always the problem. Never him.

Everything you say is straight out of the Trump playbook. None of it is true. Not one thing. It has been fact-checked and shown to be untrue. Only those infected by Trump's ability to charm, and then enrage, the gullible believe it. I feel sorry that you remain infected and hope that in time you recover.

Examples of disingenuous and baseless claims of fraud come thick and fast from Resident Trump. These falsehoods are repeatedly stated as reality; not the actions of someone professing a genuine concern. Such false claims would be funny if not for the fact that they probably get domestic terrorists putting their finger a little closer to the trigger..

[Tweet Link]

"Donald Trump - who has made numerous allegations of voter fraud without providing evidence - has tweeted a video that media reports have already confirmed as showing officials collecting ballots according to their normal procedure.

Mr Trump tweeted the video, saying: "You are looking at BALLOTS! Is this what our Country has come to?"

The video began circulating on 4 November, the day after voting. It shows officials collecting ballots from a drop box. Some social media users claimed it showed evidence of fraud.

However on 6 November Reuters quoted a spokesman for the LA County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) as saying that the ballots in the videos “are valid ballots and will be processed and counted in our Official Election Canvass.”

They were being picked up by RR/CC staff, the spokesman said. “All vote by mail ballot drop boxes were closed and locked at 8 PM on Election Day. Ballots from all boxes throughout the County were picked up the following day,” he added.

The California Secretary of State's website says that mail ballots have to be delivered to a ballot drop-off location by the close of polls at 20:00 local time on the day of the election."

Countless failed legal challenges already, where the actual claims being made ended up being completely detached from what was earlier asserted anyway [Link] . Still, throw enough stuff at the wall and eventually something might get a hearing. No doubt the reality averse will cling onto that for dear life until it fizzles out like the rest of this nonsense.

Resigning is voluntary. I doubt that he would have been sacked. You think the words are innocuous, and they don't offend me, but that we aren't offended doesn't mean they aren't offensive. In his position he ought to have known that and he has realised that, even if you don't.

I include myself in the need to try to understand people's feelings better rather than seek to impose our previous understanding on others.

Put tribal loyalties aside, ha ha.
Like in the last 4 years!

When your worst fears about having a mentally unfit President trying to cling onto power winding up his gun-toting base are being played out in plain sight it's time to appeal to the common sense of those who supported him for either political or religious reasons.

Not every Trump supporter is a gullible idiot. There are many decent Republicans who could never vote Democrat so swallowed hard but still voted for Trump. Some switched but not all and it's them that I am talking about. They will be appalled at this behaviour and know how pointless and dangerous it is.

It's not tribal loyalties which have been the problem in the last 4 years. It's been Trump.
