Kamala Harris gets it. Yes, we should fear Trumpābut we should also mock him mercilessly, because it drives him nuts.
Donald Trump is in free-fall. ReadĀ this descriptionĀ from SundayāsĀ Washington PostĀ of how the GOP nominee spent last week: ā[A]ides did not want a situation where he was watching the convention every night, getting angry, and then just golfing all day and stewing, according to people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private interactions. Trump also had grown annoyed with the news coverage that depicted him as not working as hard as his opponent, one person who talked to him said.ā
If you didnāt know that the article was about Trump and you just read it cold without knowledge of the context, you might think it was a description of parents trying to figure out how to handle an ungovernable four-year-old. So they convinced Trump to get out of Bedminster and hit the road, trading suck-ups with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In the past, TrumpĀ has calledĀ Kennedy the ādumbest memberā of the Kennedy family and a āradical left lunatic.ā KennedyĀ has calledTrump a āterrible human beingā and āprobably a sociopath.ā
Like what?
(Not arguing, I just really need a refresher in colonial + early American history)
Like how you can own people if āall men are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.ā
Men and only men.
I think it makes more sense if you were mentally fucked up like they were. All men are equal, aka whoever they considered civilized races were aesthetically thought of as equal. Everyone deserves to be happy and to thrive, but of course lesser beastlike races can only do that under the yoke of their superiors.
What a shitty ādefenseā though right? āHeās not a hypocrite, heās just monstrously delusional by our standards.ā
He also thought black people were incapable of being educated. Fairly late in life, he met a black person who actually had the opportunity to be educated, took it, and was every bit the equal to any educated white person. Jefferson took him as an exception to the rule.
Wasnāt he also fucking all of his slave girls? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Well, he raped at least one.
And it is important to establish that it is rape; a slave has no right to refuse consent.
I donāt know about all.
I do know of one, though, that he had children with, and didnāt free after he died. A lot of people know this.
What a lot of people donāt know, is that she was his wifeās half sister. She was the off spring of his wifeās father raping a slave. When the half sister was born, she was given to her half sister as property because of the mother that gave birth to her.
Slavery is always monstrous, but it was made even worse by the monsters in human flesh that practiced it in the south.
Remember this story when you have some southern fuck wit try and romanticize that time period.
