Ok, some of this is straight up Captain Obvious quotes but anyway...

Anyone who thinks it is "interesting to see" racism "coming out of the woodwork" from the right needs to rethink the bubble they live in. Perhaps also consider the totality instead of just how things affect themselves for a change? One-issue vote against "meritocracy" has condemned millions of people in the same racial demo- brown people of origins outside the nativist anglo dome- to a world of hurt and probably are endangering themselves to boot.

It was always "fuck you, Brownie". Not sure why they don't see that, as smart as they are (or think they are).

And where the fuck do they see a "meritocracy" at in America? Most of our celebs are nepo babies. The two biggest players - Trump and Leon - inherited their money from racists who took advantage of a biased system.

I know what the American dream was supposed to be, but everyone woke up from that shit about 40 years ago.

Trump was a millionaire at 8 years old. "Meritocracy" my ass.

And worth noting, a lot of financial experts have said had he just smartly invested his money, he'd have a lot richer than he was thanks to his failed, grifty pet projects.

He even bankrupted a casino. A place where people come to give away their money and go home emptyhanded. How does that happen?

I'm guessing not a lot left after paying out his Russian overlords/financiers.

Trump owned two profitable casinos. He mortgaged them to the hilt to build a better casino bigger than the two combined that was also mortgaged to the hilt. All the gamblers that used to go to the profitable casinos now went to the new casino. The two old casinos go bankrupt.

Not even smartly invested. Just parked in an index fund would have done it.
