That's not just racism it's literally plantation racism

cuz letting black people out of jail is like slavery
Well, letting a racist sheriff who (illegally) racially profiles out of jail is not NOT racist.
Again, no one forced him to do the things that I've highlighted. He did them.
Meh, you just think that spouting piles of racist things doesn't mean you're racist.

You have a serious misconception on what it requires to be racist @Berzerker. I've seen people raise their black grandkids and be racist. Love and racism aren't even mutually exclusive. Not that Trump loves african americans, his long business and political history indicates he is not a fan.
Expecting and demanding gratitude for being thrown small pittances is a plantation mindset

I work hard, I pay taxes, I play by the rules. Where are my interests represented in Washington D.C.?
Why can they live off federal grants and then tell me I need to learn to code?
Why can they live in gated communities and tell me I need refugees in my neighborhood?
Why can they fly to Zurich and Johannesburg and Dubai and eat lobster and caviar and then tell me I can’t drive my car or eat my hamburger or buy my lightbulbs because I need to save the environment?
It’s representative of the frustrations of a many good American people—and they’re totally legitimate.

Pretty sure that's been a Democratic Party platform since LBJ

The U.S. needs more viable parties. The two dominant ones have failed utterly at governance, cheated and lied to their own people CONSTANTLY, broken their own laws ALL THE TIME, and never been punished legally for it, and, because the electoral system is so rigged and corrupt, they sit back smugly and watch as the American voters, because they have no real choice otherwise, crawl back to the ballot box and BEG one or the other of these two parties for another term of abuse, like beaten down domestic abuse victims. Yes, the U.S. NEEDS more viable political parties, so these two packs of sleezebags can both be told to screw off in the SAME ELECTION.
This is generally what's known as "projection", I believe.

No, its Stockholm Syndrome
This seems like a pretty odd conception of the elected US political cohort tbh (assuming that's who "they" is here)

The most aggregious, monstrous, corrupt, and horrible of American government policies since the end of WW2 have been the ones with "bipartisan political agreement," that are never Presidential election issues, except for Third Party and Independent candidates, and Primary candidates who are labelled as "extreme outliers," like Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, and Bernie Sanders.

It’s not just elected officials, it’s “woke” big business executives, Hollywood stars, TV talking heads, and a detestable leech class of lobbyists and public policy wanks.

"Woke," sounds like yet another one of those annoying non-terms that have cropped up in the pop zeitgeist that stain Internet text and buzz over video and audio files, but are complete and utter worthless garbage words the world could do without, and would be much better off, and more erudite sounding, without.

I thought it was an appropriate choice for the sake of brevity.

I, myself, have no problem with long-windedness, as you would quickly see going over by posts on this site. I like to try and get my point across. And, even then, some posters here still misunderstand what I'm saying (deliberately, in a number of cases, I've come to believe - but that's another story).
About as odd as an Australian who continually acts like an expert on American politics, society, and culture...

It's not like the United States engines of media do much, if anyone at all, or keep knowledge or understanding of American politics, society, and culture secret, mysticized, oblique, exclusive, privileged, or inscrutable. In fact, it's broadcast "loud" for the world in as clear a form as any American gets it. It's often even hard to avoid for people of most other countries.
Replace place of birth by "nationality status" and yes, it's a very extreme proposition. In virtually every single country on Earth, people have different rights depending on their nationality. And the vast majority of voters support this, and anyway we don't have a way to do it differently from an economic POV.
