I recognized the same black guy who trump used to put behind him at rallies during the election. Guy is superb at laughing at his jokes and cheering on cue.

Mark Robinson. He's a typical vile rethug. If it's NC, he probably stood them up.

If those folks are BLACK Republicans, then I can say I am the Queen of England. Doesn't make it so.

This is a party that considers reaching out to Italians a stretch.

And of course, because he's of the opinion that his accountants "should be guys in yarmulkes."

Immigrants should be "Norwegian" though. You know, standards are standards.

... "Critical Race Theories"

They would rather the horrific racial past of this country never be mentioned and hopefully entirely forgotten - so that they can rest and sleep comfortably and not haunted by their racial past and that of their ancestors.

There's a photo of a booth at some public function or other, and the table has a huge banner across the front that reads, "Durham County Black Republican Committee." Behind the table are five white people. They are turned away from the front of the booth, having what looks like a concerned discussion with one another.

Caption:

"Did you bring the black guy?"
"No... did you?"
"I thought you had him."


And scene.
smh.

I see a few BR's in his rally audience(s). Sprinkle here a sprinkle there and I end up shaking my head in sadness. And wonderment at how Americans feel a need for authoritarian totalitarianism. THAT to me ENCOMPASSES ALL NEGATIVE societal control(s). Media RW propaganda 24/7, does anyone remember CNN back in the day? Police are a military force with complete autonomy in handling citizens. Something akin to the cages children of hopeful immigrants saw happen with Stephen Miller-trump administration policies during his Majesty's reign? I mean, I have a small knawing in the pit of my stomach in worrying about my country and its politics centred around healing or trying to heal the hate, racism, and sexism engendered by an egomaniacal sexual predator. I won't go to the multi-billion dollar grift of his close 'advisors' and extended family. I did laugh for a second...
