You say erroneously, I say dog whistle. Slaves were repatriated there. It’s a troll, and not the first time they’ve done this, see CPAC nazi symbol in 2021
Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by stupidity. They aren’t that smart and they are very stupid.
You should also never underestimate evil - that’s how they win.
I’m not underestimating evil. I’m estimating intelligence. And they aren’t that intelligent or crafty. Their evil is far more banal.
This is textbook underestimating evil, friend. Don’t confuse the stupid act they put on for their constituents with their actual intelligence.
These assholes are ivy league educated and have (successfully) shaped the republican party under them to engender the support of the dumbest among us and eliminate just about every trace of coherent thoughts. But just because that’s their base doesn’t mean the leadership is just as dumb.
Granted, you have real idiots like Ms Bowling Alley Flasher or I Can’t Believe it’s not Jewish Space Lasers, but a lot of the leadership is moral-less bottom feeders desperate for power and willing to sell away the country and our democracy for it.
Say what you will about the idiots running the republican party, but those fuckers got shit done. Here’s hoping the democratic party can take a page from their book and finally get their shit together, but I won’t hold my breath.
