1. Mouth breathers.

2. Donatella Versace is a Trump fan? Mind blown.

ETA:

3. These same people are pro-life but they are COMPLETELY FINE with putting collars or bracelets on every Mexican citizen and using an invisible fence to keep them contained.

What the actual (&*^????

I won't clutter up the board with yet another bit of Trump insanity, so thought this fell under the "Trump supporters" realm and am posting here.

Another example of our favorite soon-to-be-extinct dinosaur (idiosaurus?):

He's been offending people for YEARS, damn it, and this was just for laughs! And guess who agrees with him? The town policeman!
This is why we are up shit creek without a paddle, people.

I couldn't watch but a few seconds of that. I just spent 4 days in S. Carolina, experienced a tidal wave of racism that was utterly appalling. S. Carolina is a Trump state. Seeing the mindset in action made me ill and I couldn't wait to get out of there. The people I met hate Obama with a vengeance. One woman told me she "couldn't even stand to see him on TV, could't look at him." When I asked her if it was because he was Black, she just said "call me a racist if you want to." So I did.

Good for you Matata! We had Sourh Carolina as a retirement possibility. I'm realizing that won't be an option.

South Carolina has always been the absolute worst in the racism category, all the way back to the lead up to the Civil War. Unfortunately, their history is still in play - they're running true to that history. Old cultural modes of thought die very very hard. Safe to say they don't ever go away completely.

Even without the heat and humidity, I wouldn't touch that state with a 10-foot pole. And that's something, considering where I'm from - Oklahoma hardly being a beacon of enlightenment. But by comparison....

I thought I had adequately prepared for the visit. I expected to encounter several modes of thought that differ markedly from mine. I think it was the insidious subtlety of the racism in the groups I was meeting with that so disturbed me. These were highly educated successful very wealthy people who are prominent in their communities and they were masters at the polite dig. And their blatant sense of superiority was galling. At least with overt racism, it doesn't appear so hypocritical to me -- you put it all out there and take the consequences. But that constant undercurrent, mockery, and condescension was a challenge for me. And yes, it goes generations deep. I was hoping that the young members of these families would be different but when you still live on a plantation with a confederate flag flying up the pole....
