1. I'm the first yes vote.

[intrepidity]

2. That was my first thought. He is sooo transparent. nt

[fierywoman]

3. 'Cuz somehow I doubt he has taken up painting and is referring to the thin brush

with really long hair that is used for painting rigging ...

[Ocelot II]

10. Maybe he's taken up sailing or skydiving,

and is complaining about the people who have been rigging his sailboat or his parachute. With respect to skydiving, I shouldn't say that his having an incompetent rigger would be a good thing...

[fierywoman]

21. Do you wonder if he keeps saying the election was rigged is because he did his best to rig it

but he didn't do that well enough to get the result he wanted?

[Think. Again.]

23. Wonder?

You know how sometimes, you're absolutely sure of something even though you have no hard evidence it's true?

That's how I feel about what you asked.

[fierywoman]

43. Yup!

[MustLoveBeagles]

4. No doubt about it

[Brainfodder]

5. Framing it for his racist base, they think N, you thought N then not much of a stretch?

They will just go to default auto-pilot generic racist hate or otherwise known as whatever the day of the week is?



He gets plausible old man deniability and sneaky win win in his dullard asshole mind?

[NCDem47]

6. Sooooooo intentional.

Whether he thought of it, or someone brought the idea to him, they probably laughed and laughed. They thought this was a total OWN of African-Americans.

This one has legs. It will take off in their own little world. Tshirts. Memes. Rally chants. See it coming a mile away.

[CrispyQ]

7. Alvin Bragg, Tanya Chutkan, Ruby Freeman, Letitia James, Shaye Moss, Fani Willis.

Oh, absolutely he meant the other word!! All caps & last word of the post to call attention to it. He's truly a piece of shit. Human garbage.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. No. I think it was a BDSM thought. Violence and obedience. /nt

[ProfessorGAC]

9. No

Requires a cleverness with language he lacks.

[mopinko]

16. he didnt come up w it. comes from reddit.

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Yeah, Like He Reads Redditt

Not buying it.

[mopinko]

36. i'm sure stuff from theDonald made their way to him.

[obamanut2012]

19. It atretd years ago on TheDonald subreddit to circumvent the TOS

It is a well known usage of the alt right to gte around filters.

he meant the nword.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

11. It's typical of the garbage he spews in the form of childish "secret" codes. nt

[Grasswire2]

12. Remember when he used the word "Peekaboo" when he meant "J........"

It wasn't that long ago, referring to a female judge of color, as I recall.

[ForgedCrank]

13. Geez,

no.
The guy is an ass, but aren't we going off the rails just a little?
This reminds me of the JFKJ cryptic KKK numbers conspiracy a week or two ago.

[nolabear]

14. I'd agree but he's got a pattern of such "coincidences".

And the bigots are all nyuk-nyukking over it, as they always do. He can’t be unaware of the effect.

[obamanut2012]

18. This is a well known usage of teh alt right

They mean the Nword. You are wrong.

[Think. Again.]

44. I don't think...

...it's that far-fetched.

The rightwingers have a childish mentality, they really do feel they're being clever with stuff just like that.

[randr]

15. The sole reason he posted that comment

was so he could use that rhetoric.

[obamanut2012]

17. People saying no are wrong

It is a very well known thing the alt-right use. It started on TheDonald subreddit to circumvent the TOS, and continued after they were deplatformed.

Again, he is saying the nword. This is a well known usage.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

31. And...?

So what.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

20. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp responds to Donald Trump:

Link to tweet

[madinmaryland]

22. He will lose all filter in the near future and just use the n word.

[Celerity]

24. you should add Trump's exact post for context nt

[leftstreet]

26. this

[Celerity]

27. Without the context it is a push poll. I voted No, given the context.

[leftstreet]

28. It makes DU look...oh nevermind n/t

[Celerity]

33. it happens more and more lately

[SalviaBlue]

38. Pretending that we don't get he context is an odd choice. NT

[Celerity]

39. I am not pretending anything.

Trump is a racist POS, but this whole thing is a very large stretch.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

45. See Post 19

And on twitter there's posters typing "rigger lover", "I hate riggers", and "I can't believe he went there". He knows exactly what's he doing like when he used the Star of David to denigrate Hillary's large donors. He's a bigot to his very marrow.

[Celerity]

48. sorry, my anti Trump credentials are solid as a rock since I joined, but I just disagree on this one

Trump has ranted about rigging for years, and the syntaxical flow of his rant this time is clearly linear.

[Think. Again.]

46. I don't think it's a stretch...

...his racist followers think they're clever, they think they're "owning the libs!" when he does obvious crap like this.

[leftstreet]

25. No

Good Godz

Saying "riggers" in the context of his statement about "rigged" elections is a very Trump thing to do.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

30. +1

[MorbidButterflyTat]

29. Does it matter?

Everyone in the universe knows he's a disgusting racist POS.

[Maru Kitteh]

32. not a doubt

[Celerity]

34. there is a big doubt IMHO

[SalviaBlue]

41. Giving Trump the benefit of the doubt ?

Hell no!

It’s always worst than it even seems with him.

If it seems like it might be racist, it is.
If it sounds like it might be a threat, it is.
If he is accusing someone of something, he himself has actually done the thing.

[Celerity]

42. no, I am using basic logic and reasoning

[Think. Again.]

47. +1000 to Salvia blue!

[SalviaBlue]

51. +1000 for your sig line!

[Retrograde]

37. Who knows how his mind-thing works

random words and fragments float around in the empty spaces and sometimes they meet and form what passes for thought. He could have thought he was being clever and slipping a pejorative past his critics. Or he couldn't spell "manipulators". Anyway, his posts are for his core base, which doesn't go in for big words or nuanced thought.

[ismnotwasm]

40. Absolutely

He knows what he’s doing

[Tommy Carcetti]

49. I think he wanted people to think of that word when he used it.

So yes, but a qualified yes.

I don't think he was ever going to actually use N****r, but I think he's constantly appealing to the worst of his base and playing cute by having them think of the word.

[ismnotwasm]

50. Well put.

[ecstatic]

52. Yes but it's just another dumb and childish response from him. I don't care.

The only people who might actually feel hurt by his outbursts and racist nicknames are the handful of black magats who support him.

The rest of us are pretty much at the "please proceed, asshole" stage. This won't help his case. If anything, he'll be looking at more felonies.

As far as the target he's putting on African Americans, especially in the Atlanta metro area--this has been the case his entire presidency and beyond. I have to take extra precautions especially when I'm in rural counties. I've advised all my friends and family, especially those living in Fulton county, to cover the county name on their car tags with the optional "in God we trust" stickers.

[superpatriotman]

53. Sooner or later he's just gonna say it at a rally

Then his poll numbers will rise, and it will be used in every speech. He will re establish the verboten word as commonplace for a large percentage of the country.

I know some of these people - They want to say it so bad.
