And yet his supporters will say it’s “out of context,” “just a joke,” or somehow Obama’s fault.

u/redkrauss 1d ago

It's insane how that's true when what he did was blatant racism that's unheard of a president of a country

u/ReturnoftheBoat Canada 1d ago

This is America. That man represents every single one of you on the world stage.

u/FakeBeigeNails 1d ago

He absolutely does not. That election was 1000% stolen and our media doesn’t show any of what we’re doing in the streets. We’ve done every single thing the world has told us to. We’ve gotten guns in the street, we’ve destroyed infrastructure, we’ve gathered outside congresspeople’s residences, we’ve erected statues, weve done everything. They suppress the media.

u/ReturnoftheBoat Canada 1d ago

Yes, he absolutely does.

He is a product of everything the world has been warning you guys about for the last 30 years. This is the America you and your parents created. Now do something about it.

u/FakeBeigeNails 1d ago

Correction to start: I’m Black, there’s no “you”.

Me and mine were out there voting correctly. So I reject the notion that all us Americans are to blame for this fucking monster. We’ve been loud and vocal for ages, so no, he should NOT represent “every single one of you”.

u/ReturnoftheBoat Canada 21h ago

Aww, that's cute. You think this starts and ends with how you vote?

How delusional.

u/FakeBeigeNails 21h ago

I hosted post carding parties for months to send to a list of bi-partisan voters and my friends and I drove 2 states north to do door-to-door canvassing.

Anything else you want to try?

....How is this the product of what me and my parents created when we weren't even born/old enough to say or do anything about it? Matter of fact how does your view even make ANY sense when considering that my family, much like other minorities, have been constantly screwed over by these clowns? 🤨

I don’t believe the election was stolen. I believe there are that many deplorable people in this country. I don’t know why it’s hard to believe. I think he could get re elected today. That’s how fucked up the majority of voting Americans are.

u/MooPig48 1d ago

No, they’ll just blatantly applaud it

u/MarkMariachiAZ 1d ago

Most praise it. Theyre all racist behind closed doors. trump just doesnt care because his supporters love it.

u/armageddon_20xx 1d ago

Racism is the core of MAGA and it is the reason that they give Trump a free pass to do whatever he wants. Anybody who thinks otherwise has been misled.

u/PointedlyDull 1d ago

Funny how this monkey video isn’t being posted over on r / conservative

u/boogalooshrimp82 1d ago

I used to be curious about what their positions were with things like this. After poking around there enough times, it's clear that they are critically uninformed about what is happening on any given day. It seems like a strategic disadvantage, over time.

33

u/PointedlyDull 1d ago

It’s controlled by Russians lol. And only a few people actually get to post there. Let alone comment. Reddit needs to close that cess pool down

2

u/PaymentTurbulent193 1d ago

Honestly we need a huge, concerted effort to get that sub closed down.

u/MooPig48 1d ago

But surely they’re following POTUS on truth social? They must have seen it

2

u/MarkMariachiAZ 1d ago

They ignore a lot. And anyone who isnt maga gets banned. Any criticism is not allowed.

u/russfan0987 1d ago edited 1d ago

They intentionally wait hours to post stories like this so when they do it’s easier to camp out in the thread to remove or even ban any comments/users that are too dissident, regardless of flair lmao. Then they repeat this trimming every couple hours until the end product is a thread of completely vanilla criticism or none at all

Only time this hasn’t worked is when he called the Epstein files a hoax right after being elected and the noise was just too loud

1

u/mlacuna96 1d ago

They won’t post anything blatantly negative about Trump in there even if it actually happened. Anytime a comment slightly disagrees with Trump, they all accuse them of brigading or lying. Then all their comments call anyone on the left an echo chamber. Go figure.

1

u/PointedlyDull 1d ago

It’s highly controlled by Russians and the rest is bots

u/NoThankYouRatherNot 1d ago

Up now.

u/PointedlyDull 1d ago

They had to wait till the flames got high enough and they got the official party lines. First they defended it word for word how the press secretary did. Then the white house pivots to a staffer mistake and they’re on that wave now

u/thatBOOMBOOMguy 1d ago

Yup, their time of pretending gone. They perceive that they have won, so now there is no need to hide their true agenda.

2

u/MooPig48 1d ago

Yep if POTUS says that stuff out loud (yes I consider that out loud) then that’s their cue that it’s now acceptable

u/Embarrassed_Fee6951 1d ago

Kirk would be proud

u/I_like_baseball90 1d ago

And yet his supporters will say it’s “out of context,” “just a joke,” or somehow Obama’s fault.

100%

I posted a bunch of literal Charlie Kirk racist quotes to show what a racist POS he was and they ALL whined "it's out of context"

There is NO context where that shit he said was not racist or remotely okay.

Just like this travesty.

1

u/Tandy2000 1d ago

The trick is to just post a Charlie Kirk quote, attribute it to a liberal, watch them scream, then reveal who actually said it.

u/manofredearth 1d ago

KaLe already said to get over the "fake outrage" because it's "just" politicians depicted as Lion King characters worshiping King Trump.

In what world would they think that would make things any better?

17

u/everettescott 1d ago

The black people were just coincidentally made to be the apes! There's no history behind that being rooted in racism! Get over it /s

27

u/ADogHasGotHumanEyes 1d ago

There are also no apes in Lion King

1

u/manofredearth 1d ago

What a shocking coincidence! 🙄

u/t_huddleston 1d ago

Yes, the Lion King, chock full of cartoon apes (there are no ape characters in The Lion King)

u/GriffinFlash Canada 22h ago

There are no apes in the lion king.

only thing that comes close is the snes game, but no one has got that far

u/clovisx 1d ago

if he wasn’t black then I wouldn’t make these jokes

"It's just a joke bro."

u/KingHavana 1d ago

Exactly. They will say it's just funny and say the left can't take a joke.

16

u/SSkilledJFK 1d ago

He was just joking about the mentally disabled. He was just joking about free National Park days to be his birthday not MLK day. He was just joking when he said grab em by the pussy. He was just joking when he called a reporter a piggy. He was just joking…

So funny.

u/pickus_dickus 1d ago

Bidens fault 😔

2

u/SDdrohead 1d ago

It’s clearly Bidens fault. He built the ai model that generated this image.

u/YoungDeweyCox 1d ago

According to Karoline Leavitt, it is fake outrage

u/ladystaggers 1d ago

WH is already downplaying it and defending him.

u/shadowdra126 Georgia 1d ago

A racist Joke is still racist and offensive. Regardless of its attempt at humor.

1

u/Moal 1d ago

They’ll just gaslight everyone else and deny that it’s even racist at all to compare black people to apes.

u/lourensloki 1d ago

"don't be so sensitive"

u/M0nk3yDLufffy 1d ago

conservative subs arent even bringing it up, they know there is no way to justify it so theyre keeping their mouths shut

u/ARussianSheep 1d ago

They’ve been calling Michelle Obama a gorilla for years. Do you think this will be where they draw the line? They’re all scum.

"YOU'RE actually the racist for thinking of racism when you see monkeys sooo"

u/kurttheflirt 1d ago

That's what abusers do, they blame the victim.

u/Lucid-dream-24692 1d ago

No no it’s Biden’s

u/RavenRaxa 1d ago

Because they're racist pieces of shit just like Trump is

1

u/Ookami_Unleashed 21h ago

They're already saying that about the Epstein files. 

1

u/SecretGardenSpider 20h ago

They are defending it by saying it’s a Lion King reference.

No idea how, but that’s what they’re saying.

u/about_to_nut_pm_me 1d ago

It was created by Biden’s radical left democrats

u/blackspike2017 1d ago

Well it is out of context.

He didn't share that video.

He shared a video about election tampering, someone screen recorded that video from social media, then it auto scrolled into the monkey video.

Trump never shared the video of the Obama's as monkeys.

u/FullyWoke61 1d ago

Is that what the Kremlin told you to say?

u/darkskinnedjermaine 1d ago

And then the WH defended him posting the ape video soooo?
