So we can't point out racism and make jokes about how pathetic these racists are because other racists might get violent?
... I'm not with you on this one. It's a weak stance.
Sarcasm only works if the person actually understands what sarcasm is.
Most Americans are too stupid to do that when it's spoken much less read.
Yeah, people are dancing on TikTok to techno remixes of Trump saying that Haitians eat cats and dogs. People are normalizing it because they think it's funny.
No, he's saying racist shit about immigrants. It's worth ridicule, but it's not a joke...
