”Whether you're eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to [Kamala Harris'] policies”

Really? So it’s just a coincidence that you also mentioned curry? C’maaan

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vance is referencing curry because Laura Loomer recently said the White House will smell like curry if Harris wins.

Isn't Vance's partner of South Asian heritage?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes, but I doubt a woman who married Vance has any scruples or empathy for even her own people

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I have a distant family member that illegally entered the US with her young child and used a stolen SSN and identity early on to gain employment.

Now that she's got her green card, she's fully in the "fuck everyone else, I got mine" camp. She cries about illegal immigrants and crime from people coming from her home country.

It's legitimately insane to watch someone absolutely stop giving a fuck because they've got fiscal safety and security because they broke all the same laws during a democratic administration that was helping Latino immigrants.

“Obviously she’s not a white person…but I love Usha, she’s such a good mom.”

Why can't he just say "one of the good ones" and rip the band aid off.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Yep. But he's a republican politician - he still to be publicly racist even if it means insulting his partner's heritage. That's the job.

Shay Dee Vance fancies himself as a wit.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And Trump denies he said “suckers and losers”. The “party of personal responsibility” never takes responsibility for any of their actions or rhetoric.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen well-decorated military personnel praise Trump and his presidency. I lose respect for them, and I'll never understand it. Why, why, why do they defend this pile of rotten turds?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it's in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.

How stupid has the populace become that they can't see this high school bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

Who says they don’t see it?

Maybe a lot of the population is actually hateful and racist, or at least tolerating of it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

they can’t see this high school bullshit.

You have to go back to elementary school level, like 3rd grade, maybe 2nd.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago

Right, it was aimed at all black people. His racism is equal opportunity.

This might be too new. For those without a meme IV:

No relevant but is it me or does that lady become more attractive with ever damn movie she is in.

parks and rec has got you:

To paraphrase Donna:

"She can get it. Everyone on that show can get it."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The answer is yes, yes she does.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Idk that's pretty old in meme years.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Holy shit, I never noticed that's the same person. My mind just cracked lol.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

She also played Boyle's insane ex wife in Brooklyn 99

“My obvious and clear racism isn’t offensive! The offended are the enemy!” said the future loser of every political endeavor he’d ever engage in

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You see, it's just a coincidence that he is running against someone who is black and Indian and he just happened to pick the two most racist and stereotypical dishes associated with each.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

The first one was chosen for him, he's reacting to a racist tweet. The second one is his own additional racism. It is an excellent display of how effortlessly racist he can be. Repubs enjoy things like this.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Trump "Kamala isnt even black"
Vance "hey now, just in case she does turn out to be black, ____"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

I only believe that in the sense that he actually means all black people.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I knew I didn't imagine that! Reminds me of when my ex-advisor in a grad program brought up fried chicken during a rant while arguing with a black student about something completely unrelated.

It was... crazy. I have no idea why such a stupid ass stereotype seems to exist in so many people's subconscious, just ready to expose them as an asshole.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Also, doesn’t everyone like fried chicken? I don’t even eat chicken and I make fake fried chicken

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Watermelon, too. Fucking weird that people think only black people are super into watermelon and fried chicken.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

It's fucking weird that people think there is any type of food that you're only into if you're a certain skin color.

I'm as white as can be. Soul food is fucking amazing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Fried chicken is as American as apple pie, for Christ's sake! "African-Americans like an American staple!", uh, yes?? How is that supposed to be a distinguishing mark amongst Americans, much less a bad one??

Racists are not just ignorant and malicious bastards. They're also deeply weird.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

You can certainly tell Harris’ color and varied ethnicity is close to the surface of that campaign. The trumpets can’t help themselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Real class act, Vance. This is who I want representing all of us. Seems perfectly fit to be 1 heart beat away from president.
