Trump posting a meme depicting Black people as apes was totally about economic anxiety, y’all.

I want a personal apology from every reactionary centrist who claimed Trump supporters were just motivated by “economic anxiety”
Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:

Remember all the stories after 2016 election about "economic anxiety"?
The Trump Administration wants us to think of Trump's racism as a character flaw grandpa sometimes sadly lets express itself too aggressively, when the reality is that the white nationalism is the governing, organizing logic of his administration that all Republicans are complicit with.

Tbh “the rich invented culture wars to distract from economic issues” sort of ignores how journalists find economic issues boring and the general population has very wrong and very ignorant notions of how economic policy works

"Nearly half the economic growth over the past year has come from the building of data centers. But that's a story about bricks, not about people."

How many reactionary centrists painted blatant racism as "economic anxiety." The media whitewashed all of this for a decade. The greatest sin in their eyes was calling MAGA racist.

It wasn't about economic anxiety just as much as targeting trans people isn't about concerns for women's rights.

... Because he wants *Penn Station* (and Dulles Airport) to be named after *him*. 

So the fight against Trumpism is both about democracy and our economic well-being.  It’s *one* fight. ...

"Zelensky said that Russia and the United States were discussing bilateral economic agreements worth some $12 trillion, including deals that would affect Ukraine"

(Note: there are not $12 trillion worth of deals to be done in Russia)

The “economic anxiety” the mainstream media covered up for was racism all along. As we all knew.

It is the decent and compassionate thing to do. It also makes economic sense.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Is this economic anxiety?

Bernie Bros and MAGAts keep telling me it's not about race and it's all about economic anxiety.

Well...

I’m surprised that the U.S. is not in total economic and societal collapse. It’s being held together by duct tape and the people are rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship.
