re: #187 Pawn of the Oppressor

I suppose it is white privilege to view Trump as some kind of dangerous, ugly novelty. Nobody’s threatening to beat me up on the street because they feel justified by what they get on Twitter and television.

Everybody who isn’t a fat, nasty white man is in danger from this guy.

The most obnoxious version of this are the Sanders-supporting fools that say Clinton and Trump/the Republicans are both basically the same.

This statement absolutely reeks of clueless privilege. Clinton has never even come close to suggesting the use of scapegoating to solve political problems.

GOP propaganda has been pushing scapegoating for decades and Trump is acting on it.
