  1. So… Did he get the message that MAGA doesn’t associate with people like him?

  2. >*“Last night in Phoenix, I was confronted and surrounded by some White Supremacists that don’t like gays or blacks in the Republican Party,” Smith wrote in a December 18 post on X. “They shouted ‘n****r’ and ‘f****t’ at me to make their point. However, I served in Iraq. I never back down. Ever.”*

    ​

    That might be a sign that you need to back away from the homophobic nativist party known as MAGA.

    ​

    It just goes to show you that MAGA doesn’t want you unless you’re a white Christian nationalist. This should be a telltale sign right here to get out of Trumpworld if you’re anything but a white evangelical!

    ​

    Why in the world would any black, gay person support Republicans is beyond me. That’s like fish voting for the sharks.

  4. Trying to join a group that disapproves of your existence rarely works out

  5. As they move right, the concept of ‘good ones’ is being left behind. Immigrants are 1. on a longer list. This guy is on it at least once.

  7. Well what’d you expect, lol. Flirting with white nationalists isn’t going to be a friendly affair if you’re not straight and white

  8. This is a real “leopards, meet face” scenario. It’s appalling but I really don’t know why anyone would expect different behavior from these folks.

    > Christina Pushaw, the press secretary for Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) who said that anyone who opposes his “Don’t Say Gay” law is a child sex predator, called the men in the video “embarrassing,” “delusional” “gutter trash.” Chaya Raichik, the Libs of TikTok founder whose posts regularly lead to bombing and death threats, called the video “sick.”

    > **Other commenters noted that Pushaw and Raichik’s anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric seems in line with the young men’s words.**

  12. Typical. Once in power, they’ll restrict even further who’s the « in » crowd and start making « lists ». Your manifested allegiance won’t matter if you don’t fit the professed eugenics. People will be surprised to be in the next wave going to the camps or being lined up against the wall: « but, but… ».

  13. Showing their true horrible prejudice, this shouldn’t surprise anyone. Republicans are just disgusting

  14. I was working with a major news organization at the RNC in 2008.

    They actually threw peanuts at a black camera person and told her to “go back to Africa”….

  16. Some keep hoping that republicans are going to view them as human beings who matter equally. They’re not going to though. It’s sad.

  17. Still, I don’t think he’ll get it. A few republicans will say they don’t support that “this isn’t us” and he’ll believe it. But yeah, unfortunately, that’s exactly who they are.

  21. Those damn leopards are eating my face!!

    As someone who wasn’t a white straight Christian I was shocked they tried to hang me at the KKK rally!

    As a Jewish person I was surprised the Nazis put me in a camp and killed my family!

    As a woman I thought there would be an exemption for my need for an abortion for a miscarriage when I voted to put judges and people into office who banned abortion!

  22. >One commenter on X replied to Smith’s post, writing, “black guy lying about being called the n word as usual- even then, it’s just a word. You’re not a conservative, we don’t care if you served in Iraq or not fruitcake.”

    Brilliant. “Because of your race and your sexuality, you can’t be a part of my group. And you’re lying about being a victim of hate speech. Here, let me prove it with hate speech.”

  25. So while this is far from okay, I gotta ask, what did he expect?

  27. “What did you expect? “Welcome, sonny”? “Make yourself at home”? “Marry my daughter”? You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.”

  28. It’s like he’s never seen these people before. “Surely they will respond to MY reasonable requests for civility in a way exactly the opposite of every other request they have ever received.”
