They have to add on that obviously Obama was not just black, and not just half black and half white, but he was also a foreigner, he was also Islamic, he was also married to a trans woman, that his kids were manchurian candidates specially trained by some sort of secret three-letter government agency in another country to destroy America and he was also some secret agent....

The stories they have made up about Obama elevate him far beyond the level of mythical. Their brains simply will not accept that he simply won the vote.

They have to wrap so many levels on top of it. It must have been a conspiracy. Otherwise, how could a black man have become president?

When you say, hey, you know, maybe it's a little racist to think this way. They go, oh, I'm not fucking racist. The guy works for the devil, that's all.

That fuse in their brain has been permanently short-circuited.

They're claiming Michelle is a trans woman actually. I don't care enough about their delusions to figure out how they think the kids happened

Fixed, thank you.

I know it's kind of sad, but I feel like a lot of these people would be more mentally healthy if they would just go ahead and admit that deep down in their hearts of hearts, they "can't believe a n-word was president".

They want to say it with all of their soul, but their puritanical American self-repression is what's got them trapped.

They want to say they're not racist while hating black people with a deeply fundamental part of their spiritual makeup.

I'm sure they even see the craziness that the Orange Cheeto has been pulling and are deeply ashamed of it.

But because they can't come out to themselves and admit that they are racist, they hate black people. They want black people to be underneath them so they can feel better about themselves, they are venting that energy in wild and uncontrolled ways, and very intelligent people in the GOP are taking advantage of that.

Admitting that they are racist is part of the solution.

They could cure that racism afterwards, but first you have to admit that you have a problem.

HEY! Only I'm allowed to talk about my mom that way, buddy. Even if it's all true.
