A lot of folks thought he would push fascist policies, though? He was notable for his nativist and protectionist rhetoric on the campaign trail. The audacity of it all is what got him all that free print and airtime.

Wow and I thought I had a lot. I salute you.
I am vegan. I also find hunted meat to be drastically less cruel and harmful to animals and the environment than our meat agriculture system. Your comment reeks of unexamined privilege.
Boring boomer humor.
What an unworthy life. What a depressing existence.
it took another hundred years before Americans as a whole saw non-white people as equal
We’ve probably got the majority at this point, but this view is definitely not universal among US citizens. I grew up in a place where lots of folks would casually disagree with this notion.
I genuinely can’t tell if this is a rhetorical question or not.
Unfortunately for you, you are not the authority on what is and isn’t a slur.
It has been used as a "term of contempt towards women" for "over six centuries", and is a slur that fosters sexism against women. It has been characterized as "an archaic word demeaning women since as early as the 15th century" that seeks to control women.
It’s always disappointing to see people who think themselves reasonable delighting in the usage of slurs when given the opportunity to tear down someone they perceive as disliked by their community. It is much more damning to them than the object of their ire.
Greene is a symptom of the cancer metastasized on our civilization, but deploying gendered slurs against her is counterproductive and pitiful.
You’re gonna need to find a new fascist dog whistle.
It’s not likely to happen, but it would be great for everyone if the voting block composed of American Catholics and American evangelical Protestants were to splinter.
