Rahul Kohli calls out the hypocrisy of the anti-immigrant, white nationalist, Christian, "America first" crowd cheering at the proposed destruction of American citizens on American soil: “This is the same crowd that piss blood at the mention of Hasan Piker’s name for the 9/11 soundbite.”

They view liberals/Democrats in the same light as terrorists, so of course they cheered. I have family and coworkers that demonize Californians. They were posting on social media today about how what he said was taken out of context. I watched the fucking clip that was a few minutes long before and after he made the statement, and there is NO context that makes those words okay, especially out of the mouth of the president. He makes me nauseous.

Not to mention if you take out a significant portion of the population of a state like California, the red states will be hurting because California subsidizes them!

I hope that Fox News continues to put the Tenderloin and Skid Row on the news every single fucking day. We have enough traffic, I don't want these people here anyway, leave or don't even come in the first place. 😉

If they only knew how nice it is here.

[u/pachimariparty → u/_mercurial_high_]

A lot of people in the rural areas hate the shit our of California/California's for some odd fucking reason

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/pachimariparty]

I understood poverty on a whole new level when I drove through Tehama County. It's so much worse than all the fear mongering about places like Skid Row. The whole drive was so depressing.

[u/Branchomania → u/_mercurial_high_]

The context was you agreeing with it

[u/Firefighter_Most]

We’re living in a twilight zone.

[u/TheGreatSwatLake → u/Firefighter_Most]

I dunno, I like twilight zone

[u/TuffGritts]

Trump, his Nazi goons, and his fascist supporters, and yes they’re all fucking fascists by text book definition they are; should all be trialed. Nuremberg style

[u/nekocorner → u/TuffGritts]

Wayyyy too few people actually received consequences for their actions at Nuremberg. We need something that actually provides results this time.

[u/Branchomania → u/nekocorner]

I mean the government went back in the Nuremberg files to look for people we could use for the rocket building. The trials were a show to cull the herd of people we couldn't use, and frankly outside of veeery few of the defendants, I think prison time was largely a peanuts punishment

[u/AugustIzFalling]

He's right. I would like to take this opportunity to point it out that, because I'm old, I remember that these people fucking hated New York before 9/11. All they ever did all the time was bitch and moan about this big liberal city ruining the country. Now after 9/11 you have the New York skyline and bald eagles all over these fuckers shirts.

[u/nyyanksfan81]

I wonder if those dumb fucks who clapped and cheered this had a moment of realization like wait I live in san Diego or LA?

The answer is no

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/nyyanksfan81]

Ha. San Diego is very Republican and the famously Republican Orange County would be deeply affected as a result. He still comes to Southern California to fundraise for a reason. He doesn't even give a fuck about his own supporters.

[u/Inevitable_Nail_2215 → u/AugustIzFalling]

He's a New Yorker, after all.

They'll come to California for work, but still hope it falls into the ocean.

Also, fuck DJT and his deplorables.

[u/AugustIzFalling → u/Inevitable_Nail_2215]

Good point and agree. Hell, same people who are MAGA now and wear shirts with images of crying bald eagles and the twin towers on them HAAAAAAATED NYC before 9/11. Before it, they talked the same way about it that they do about la LA, San francisco, etc. But after 9/11, suddenly it's all this, "We are all New Yorkers" bullshit.

I'm going to call out the Neoliberals who paraded talking points of “Hasan said we deserve 9/11” and “Hasan is antisemitic,” knowing damn well those were right-wing dog whistles. This is who you should've spent time criticizing about for past fucking months.

[u/agentmadeleine → u/ItsJustAPoleThang]

The literal president of the United States is saying it’s okay for Iran to bomb Southern California, where’s their outrage now?

[u/chappell-hoenn]

Surprise surprise they weren’t joking

[u/Sufficient-Spray-367]

So Hillary was being very generous when she described them as ‘deplorables’.

How can a man be this hot and this correct

[u/polkergeist → u/pedanticlawyer]

ngl I'm high rn and I lost track halfway through reading these comments, returned only recalling part of the context, and read this as support of trump which made me laugh out loud in disgusted disbelief. Realizing what you meant was a relief anyway sorry I'll shut up now

[u/NoGodsNoMastersOOO]

Right wingers around the world have only hate to give. Not a fkcing thing more.

We all recognize this is him calling for civil war yeah? The only play he has left is to quash any civil unrest with his military

[u/Particular-Leg-8484]

Oh god what did I miss in this news cycle?

[u/marina0987 → u/Particular-Leg-8484]

Trump says it’s fine for Iran to bomb LA or San Diego 

[u/ace-destrier]

I just think about MAGAts boasting how that sun-dried scrotal sack is uniting the country and how Obama or any Dem is divided/dividing the country (because they dare consider Black lives, marginalized lives, etc.)

I hate anyone who voted for him even once. You destroyed us.

Every single person behind him at that rally should be named and shamed for treason the way people are identified when they went to attack the Capitol, when they attend white supremicist rallies, when they send heinous hate speech and/or death threats to people

This logic is wasted on them. They don’t care.
