    What he meant to say was that Republicans would have continued to pretend to not be racist and stuck to their wink wink dog whistles, but electing a black man president drove them so insane that they regressed 50 years and returned to being openly racist.

        Holy crap. They really predicted it perfectly. Trump is a ball of rage that demands being worshipped and supreme power.

        If I wrote this back in 2012, you can guarantee that I’d still be resting on those laurels. There’s no way this kind of laser-guided prediction can be topped.

      I even remember in 2016, most especially right after donnie won the EC, all the gaslighting cons were doing classic DARVO and telling everyone how they “had” to vote for the likes of donnie because they were made to do it because of something, something, Obama. [1]

      If they didn’t blame it on Obama, they blamed it on Hillary being “shrill” or something. I think Patton Oswalt summed it up pretty well when he talked about donnie being a racist palate cleanser:
