    “I’ll shit myself so others will need to smell it”

    That’s incredibly on-brand for Trump in so many ways.

      That’s also White America in a nutshell. Racists will shit themselves just so the black person would smell it. Makes sense though, trump campaigned on racism and hatred… and won.

        White America

        Can we not overgeneralize an entire race-based demographic when we’re trying to make fun of racists?

        Seems kind of, I dunno, racist?

        For fuck’s sake people.

        Edit: To be clear, this is on brand for Trump and his band of sycophants, magats, whatever you want to label them. Just don’t try to label an entire skin tone as belonging to his support group.

          I’m using the term in the same context that F.D. Signifier and Tyler, the Creator use it (and likely lot’s of other people). As far as I understand it, not all white Americans are part of “White America”, but “White America” is necessarily all white (excluding “Latinos for Trump”, et al.). These are the people, through ignorance or directed hate, take full advantage of their privilege based on their skin colour; hence, “White America”.
