This is the guy who just recently, through overt, barely coded dog whistles, called Buttigieg a “f@**0t,” riding with his husband on a bike, and Crockett a “uppity n1@883r b1%&h” from the Oval Office. I’m a 53 year old white male from the rural South. The message was loud and clear. Believe what I’m telling you. I’ve heard this garbage my entire life, and hear the shit that’s said when it’s just us white males. The real hateful shit.
This is real. This is serious. They’re starting with “Illegal Immigrants,” and to them, deviant “Transsexuals.” RFK Jr. is reported to be compiling a database of Autistic people. Before that, it was the homeless. Remember what the Nazis did to those “Undesirables.”
Just like the Nazis of 80 years ago, they’re starting with the defenseless, and the poorest.

What gets me is the other poor white people I know.
They think they’re “Special.” They’re on “The Team.” Trump would have a beer with them. He’s looking out for them.
The truly dumbest, deluded, ignorant, and just irredeemable humans on the planet.
And maybe most importantly, lacking any empathy for others. Even if they were right and they were on The Team while others suffered… to be happy about that with no compassion at all towards other human beings is a terrible way to live a life.

I go to a church made of immigrants.
Sounds like a rough job, even when the weather is good.
Call ICE. If just a few get deported, the rest will get the message.
This is so fucked but also probably true

Once they get rid of all the immigrants and trans people, does anyone really think they’re going to dismantle the infrastructure, bulldoze the detention centers, and fire all the excess agents? Or is it more likely that they will just find new out-groups to throw on the pile?
It blows my mind that people see this happening in real time and just go “that’ll never happen to me”.
Getting a lot of mileage out of these Run the Jewels lyrics recently
Funny fact about a cage, they’re never built for just one group
So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you
The newest lowest on the totem, well golly gee, you have been used
You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you toonew out-groups
Better yet, same out-groups, just new assignments. Straight person criticized trump? Call straight person gay, now free to persecute them.
Trump dropped a hard-r when it comes to Jasmine Crockett? Honestly, given the good work Crockett has been doing, I kind of love that it’s pissing off Trump so much, and making him show his true, obviously racist (and homophobic, etc.) colors.
What I don’t like is that this is probably going to make the hard-r “more acceptable to say” for MAGA folk, not that they didn’t already say it in more private settings already.
They were talking about subtext
Yeah, I missed the “barely coded dogwhistles” part of the sentence.
Giving rural old white farmers broadband is racist?
let them eat starlink!
This is probably the whole point.
This should be written down for the saying of this time in history
Stupid is as stupid votes.
GodDAMN! This has been getting a shit tonne of mileage lately!
Did he just look at the word “equity” and assume it somehow helped minorities? That’s the only reason I can imagine him calling it racist.
He read “equality” and that was that…
Yes, yes that is exactly what has been happening. This is not the only example of them doing Ctrl+f and ending grants.
calls digital equity program “racist and illegal”
I don’t see why he would kill anything over that. Those are like his two favorite things.
And this predominantly benefits poor white people. I think he just saw “equity” and assumed it helped brown people.
I suppose this means he hates the Rural Electrification Act and wants to retroactively rip out the bumpkins’ power lines. I should probably shut my pie hole before I inadvertently give these malicious assholes ideas.
Or do give them ideas, so the rurals can have the day they voted for and maybe, just maybe, figure out billionaires despise them.
So it went from socialist to racist to offer incentives to companies to put broadband in rural areas. Boy sure I’m glad there’s somebody at the top to tell us these things. Here I thought it was just a sensible thing to do all this time. Silly me.
internet access is woke too now 😎
Of course! They might consume something that isn’t Fox “News”
This will be just great for the Appalachian region J.D. Vance was playing up as his homeland.
They could have really used that money to get some broadband deployed and a workforce trained up: https://communitynetworks.org/content/connect-humanity-project-aims-bring-broadband-rural-appalachia
A child who has access to internet, might cut their hours at the coal mine.
But… but… rural is white Trump country. They need the interweb tubes.
Musk is rolling out a new tier of cheap starlink, lower bandwidth but also zero-tiers certain providers (think Fox News).
I wish I was being sarcastic. They’re worried they need to bridge the gap from talk radio.
In Canada, we just give them the money, they twiddle their thumbs for a few years then say they’re abandoning the project and keep the money. Then we wait a few years, and decide to give them more money for the same thing again.
They’ve already done that here once before in the US, too.
10 billion dollars to redefine 5g as 1/10th it’s original bandwidth and then not meet the standards of providing it anyway.
Heh, and here I thought it was just the 5g in my town that was wonky
BS. US has NEVER had universal health care. US has NEVER had maternal/paternal leave. Stop lying!
Are you okay dude?
Are you referring to our health care? Are referring to our minimum wages? Are you referring to our maternal/paternal leave? Is that what you’re referring to, NotMyOld RedditName?
I believe they’re talking about our telecommunications? The topic of the entire thread?
His boyfriend must be complaining because it doesn’t benefit Starlink or something
Have fun watching diabetes commercials on cable while the rest of us enjoy what we want on streaming platforms.
Not even going to bother addressing the veteran stuff. Trump hating the military and its personnel is old news and his voters couldn’t give a flying fuck.
All those red counties can keep enjoying paying over $100 a month for terrible local cable company “100mbps” (20mbps in reality) download speeds with 56k upload. That’s the great America they wanted after all. Meanwhile in my very blue city I pay $60 a month for symmetric gigabit.
How quaint.
I take care of my Mom who has dementia.
She has to have cable. For her “stories.” The Comcast bill for her cable and internet access is TWO HUNDRED AND 60 FUCKING UNITED STATES DOLLARS. For dogshit megabyte speeds. Which I pay the majority of.
But hey, for $15 more, we could have “free” Peacock, Spotify, and Apple+!
What a bargain…
And there are literally no competitors except for the town municipal service, which is the same price, since they’re buying bandwidth on cable, and internet.
I used to have $120/month wireless net (dish aimed at a tower on the mountain) that was 15gbps. Then the city seized the abandoned fibre Comcast ran and abandoned. They brought in another company to run the internet (despite saying they were going to make it a utility run by the city). I suspect my $55/month bill for gigabit net is fixing to at least double now.
It must literally just be the word “equity”.
Internet access is racist and illegal! Thanks conservatives!
If they only know twitter then you could understand a bit the confusion.
