Calling you out

“The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating ... white people to determine who lives and who dies. If you’re white you don’t get the vaccine or if you’re white you don’t get therapeutics. ... In New York state, if you’re white, you have to go to the back of the line to get medical health.”
Donald Trump

Believe what you like, but stand but it. Anyone who supports this man is without defense, without merit. If you support Trump, you condone this kind of speech and these kinds of lies.

That's the kind of talk Hitler would engage in.

@JimboSaturn That fraudulent zionist puppet doesn't have a patch on the intelligence, eloquence and passion of Adolf Hitler. You should read MK, then you would be able to discern the difference. Even if you are anti-fascist, how can you believe in one side without ever really knowing the other?
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
@Innsegall True but it's the same scapegoat propaganda. Also making the populist feel victimized and he will make them great again.
Innsegall · 41-45, M
@JimboSaturn You are right, he has definitely adopted the methods. Still a poor imitation. Also he pits two sides of the nation against each other instead of naming the enemy within...
Trump's lies have hit a new low. It's 100% clear the major social media platforms were correct to ban him.
"...who lives and who dies."
You mean like insurance companies have already been doing for decades?

Is this what they're referring to?

If that's the case, whoever said that wasn't wasn't [i]exactly[/i] lying... but calling it 'leftists' when it's actually the Dept. of Health in a liberal state is questionable at best. And yeah, that does sound like an overdramatization on Trump's part; like, the state has admitted that white people [i]may[/i] be discriminated against, but we don't have any examples of it actually happening. And the 'denigrated' part is a lie.

@BlueVeins His words, syllable by syllable. trump only uses words for three reasons:
1. To self-aggrandize
2. To get what he wants
3. As a rallying call to the horde.

@Graylight If his reaction to the Afghanistan withdrawal has proven anything, it's that.

Trump's rantings are more lies from The Lyin' King.
@windinhishair There's a meme for that!

@ElwoodBlues Well he wanted to be King, and he did it!

Because racial background is an additional risk factor.

It's interesting that these same people don't complain about kidney transplants, where because of assumptions about different levels of kidney function between races, Black people have to be sicker than white people to qualify for transplants.

I haven't heard the full story about NYC but I saw this regarding MN:

Minnesota removed race as a preferential factor regarding which COVID-19 patients will receive monoclonal antibody treatment last.
That's all I know at this point. I believe UT might have got some pushback as well.
We have idiots making similar claims up here. And they are right on the surface that some non white communities get easier access. For example in my Province there are alot of First Nations reserves and you would be lucky to have a nursing station, nevermind a proper hospital on the rez.


So yeah, it makes sense. Even in the US back in 2020 when this all started I believe it was the Navajo who asked for medical assistance with covid and got sent body bags.

Even when there is a bit of truth to these kinds of lies these people leave out context so their followers can play the victim.

lolllllllllllllll trump said this?? hahaha white people dont want the vaccine!! they're all like "FUCK YOOOOOU IT HAS LIBERAL POISON IN IT"
@NoahB The funny thing is he has scared his base away from the vaccine to the point that being a Trumpist should be a comorbidity at this point.
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
Blatantly untrue
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
@Graylight I should be more specific I mean what Trump said is blatantly untrue, I think you knew that but want to make sure. I’m hoping Trump saying things this polarizing and racist hurts the GOP rather than boosting them.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@BackyardShaman I did not know, and thanks for the clarification. I was thinking maybe a delusional individual had been eft wandering the wilderness of SW.

On your actual point, I can't agree more. I think we're looking at a collapse before rebuilding can begin. Best thing everyone can do is bear down and do the work. So much wishful thinking...
BackyardShaman · 61-69, M
Awesome ! 🙂@Graylight I
Am glad I returned!
JimboSaturn · 51-55, M
It's such a terrible hardship being a middle aged white male :P
