Just saying this whole political game is a joke!
You just suggested Trump is, in fact, not racist because a leader of Proud Boys is a person of color.
You think the color of that man’s skin negates the Proud Boy’s racist rhetoric? You are seriously asking us to judge Trump based upon the color of that man’s skin? In our country we judge people on the basis of their character, not their skin. We have a special name for people who judge others on the basis of their skin.
When asked about white supremacy, Trump said: “Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I’ll tell you what, somebody’s got to do something about antifa and the left.”
That quote will forever define Trump because it reveals his character. Your vote reveals your character.
You’re trying to escape accountability when you say “this whole political game is a joke.” The consequences of politics is real. Throwing up your hands and pretending what you say and do doesn’t matter is simply an echo of Trump’s “I take no responsibility.”
“The buck stops here” is a different famous presidential quote that means an individual makes decisions and accepts responsibility for them.
Who do YOU want to be? This election is one of those times when we decide who we are, as individuals and as a nation. Each of us is making a choice this election. There is no escaping the responsibility.
