re: #217 Teukka

I’m just waiting on the moment when a GOTP drops the N-bomb on a hot mic, live or in social media :(
I’m cynical, I know…

I’m genuinely shocked it hasn’t happened at this point. As goofy as this sounds, I think conservatives/GOTP types have enough discipline to know they can dog whistle as long as they want, as long they don’t go N-bomb.

Making vague comments about people based on race or religion gives right wingers enough wiggle room to go “What??? I never said that!!! You must be the REAL racist, since that’s what you think!”

As soon as they go with the blatant racial slur, their little game blows up in their faces. People who are naive/stupid enough to believe the whole “They never specifically used a slur” charade will turn on them in an instant.
