When Joe Biden says we are in a battle for the soul of our nation against vile forces of hate who have come crawling out from under rocks, you are the epitome of what he means. What you stand for is absolutely repugnant. Your support is 10,000% percent unwelcome here.

(297,277 posts)Sure Dems are More "Competent".. like a 180 degrees.. But we don't need endorsements from white supremists.
Repent!

(37,160 posts)...so, in their blinkered view, Trump and his cultists are causing them to be suppressed.
Spencer's faction of white supremacists have come to think Trump has been a dud, while Trump's "trigger the libs" supporters have given power to the "radical left", a term which from them is much broader than it is in sane English, covering most of the Democratic party and not just more conventionally-defined "left." They also seem to assume a Soviet Communist Party-level degree coordination and unity of purpose by these broader-lefties.
Y'see, they think that the "trigger the libs" people give us the excuse to "methodically" deplatformed and demonetized them.
They're bugs who were more comfortable back when they were crawling under rocks, but Trump's people have been picking up all the rocks to throw at "the libs", leaving the bugs exposed to sunlight and getting stepped on. Maybe he thinks with Biden in charge he can get safely back into some dank little shelter.

(297,277 posts)the Psycho Puppet was making white supremists more acceptable from the WH no less. They would appreciate that.
'Course the Gaslit Liar says he's done more for Black People than any other president in the known universe.

(37,160 posts)...so I picked up the gist of the "thinking," but that's why I referred to "his faction." I have no idea how many that might be, nor how many will split off from him because of this. And have very little desire to wade into the muck for more thorough research.
There are certainly plenty of others who are fine with Trump.

(5,723 posts)"Fuck off, Nazi" or another punch in the face works better IMO, but I can see why Biden's campaign doesn't go there.

(43,182 posts)I think at one point he ludicrously claimed he never heard of him.
Well this is how its done.

(92,216 posts)sincere, but think by doing so will give trump ammunition to either say that this proves that a racist is supporting Biden, and therefor that argument can't be used against us.
It is an attempt at Rovian politics
Difference is trump said there were good people on both sides, and never disavowed himself from the racists.
Everything Biden has done and said is just the opposite
Of course they will try to twist it, but it should NOT gain any resonance especially with the strong reject of Biden's campaign against these type of endorsement
Typical republican dirty trick to divert attention away from THEIR racism, sexism, and bigotry
