i dont know comparisons

but consider how, when obama became president, his opponents questioned what above all else?

his identity, of course

i.e., they branded him the kenyan muslim socialist

meaning if you’re not white and christian you’re not american

(he was christian though at that point, and “half white”. lol blood quanta)

the socialism bit was just for decoration. he basically implemented nixoncare.

that’s very telling, no?

i mean half century ago there was the issue of kennedy’s catholicism, but it wasn’t as ferocious or demented because the man was white.
