    That’s not what he implied, and there is a huge fear of citizens getting deported in that population.

    https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/02/14/around-four-in-ten-latinos-in-u-s-worry-that-they-or-someone-close-to-them-could-be-deported/

    And again, the rest of it was unsourced and without context. For all I know, you or someone you got half of that from made it up.

    And also again, you are the one coming off as racist. You are the one suggesting that using cocaine and being a junkie is a ‘black’ thing. You are the one suggesting Latino citizens don’t fear deportation. Which, by the way, is also coming from a right-wing perspective.

    As far as “licking his boots,” I have not said a single positive thing about Biden this entire time. I am simply countering your narrative, which is based on Republican lies.

      A quick YouTube search reveals he did in fact say those things.

      Even Kamala Harris was negatively affected by his racist policies: https://youtu.be/S6-UC8yr0Aw https://youtu.be/QS5svMoKpas

      But it’s OK because people think Trump said those things: https://youtu.be/4m4_KibqaRU https://youtu.be/gFVXtSdlPUw

      I’m not saying Trump is not racist. I’m sure you remember when Trump was confronted multiple times and asked to outwardly denounce racism, and he hesitated or avoided doing so. Which is also concerning. Only a racist would dodge that question.

      And everybody forgot that Biden said that the vaccines will keep you from getting covid too: https://youtu.be/VArXfQU--LA

        If both of them are, and you are singling out Biden for it, you effectively are.

        And, once again, you claiming that calling a black person a junkie is a racist thing is the racist thing. Because you are associating black people with being junkies, not Biden. No matter how many times you talk about him saying it, it doesn’t change that.

          You already know the majority of Lemmy users would agree with me that Trump is a racist. Because he fucking is. I thought I didn’t need to state the obvious, but there you go.

          I don’t think accusing ANY reporter of being a crack addict is an appropriate thing for a politician to do under ANY circumstances. Feel free to disagree with me on that, but whatever. It’s my opinion.

          Your argument seems to boil down to “If you say anything bad about Biden, you’re a Trump supporter falling for his propaganda!” My argument is that this binary view of politics is the real problem with this country.

          I don’t like Trump OR Biden. Why is this so fucking hard for you people to understand?

          I want to see voting reform. Keep in mind that Trump won his first term due to a fatal flaw in our election system. And by the way, I voted for Hillary Clinton. But as it stands now, it seems like you people would be happy with Strom fucking Thurmond in office (one of Biden’s buddies) if he was alive and a Democrat today.

            I still didn’t say you were a Trump supporter. I don’t know why you keep lying about that.

              You act like the only possible reason for someone not to like Biden is Trump. I never liked Biden. Or Trump. Get the fuck over it.

                Yet again, I still never said you were a Trump supporter. Why do I need to keep repeating that? Do you want that etched in stone or something?

                It seems like you want me to call you a Trump supporter. Too bad you won’t get what you want. Unlike you (apparently), I value honesty.

                    Nope. I was dismissing them as Republican propaganda. And you don’t have to be a Republican to fall for Republican propaganda, something I have also already said.

                    So which is it- are you not reading my posts or are you trying to gaslight me?
