FYI this poutrage about Trump getting booed is a consequence of over 50 years of the MSM and @GOP convincing the White American majority that you can “respectfully” be a racist and vote for systemic racism without incurring any real world consequences for it. #SouthernStrategy101
They don’t know how loathed Trump is outside of the Fox bubble and they have no fucking clue about the extent of his criminality or incompetence because they’ve segregated themselves away from diversity and reality.
These were the same jackasses screaming give him a chance in early 2017 b/c none of the racist, sociopathic, predatory shit Trump’s done across his lifespan lost him any respect from them and they wanted ALL of those “attributes” in the *White* House. They all deserve a BOOOOO.
Trump conspired with a foreign adversary to hack our election, destroy our entire fucking democracy and reboot Jim Crow, a hearty public booing is the absolute least he deserves. It was idiotic and oppressive to ever presume civility or respect were due to him in the first place.
Receipts on “give him a chance” circa January 2017. 😒
These folk are mad because they aided/abetted the fuckery and now it’s too late for them to turn back. They don’t just want respect and compliance, they want absolution. Trump getting booed was official confirmation that they’ll get none of the above, and rightfully so.

The thing that’s always struck me about this (not only as a Black woman but also as a psychiatrist IRL who’s literally tasked with helping people cope with stress, illness and the ups & downs of life) is the Black woman savior complex of it all. It’s subconscious but ubiquitous.
As with many things in America, I also think it’s yet another sociological phenomenon brought to us by slavery. A lot of White family systems fell apart (continue to) without the presence of a Mammy or some form of matriarchal Black help in the home. jstor.org/stable/2714687
Except for all intents/purposes, VA *was* TX not too long ago. The 2021 Gubernatorial election set back over a decade of hard-won progress by VA Democrats. It can happen in ANY historically or recently “blue” state at the drop of a dime, if enough White voters DEFECT/vote GOP. 🥴
The other thing to remember is #WeTriedToTellThem ALL of this shit was gonna happen (all over again) but HELL NO. This is yet another consequence of MAGAts who have both a death wish and outsized influence on every single public/private system in 🇺🇸 running the asylum. 🤡👹👺🦊
Adding this here b/c it’s really important that we also recognize how the toxic/violent masculinization of GOP women voters also extends to #MAGAWoman elected officials. They’ve created an army of Ashli Babbitts who aid/abet the radicalization of their menfolk & themselves. 👹🤡
By now we’ve seen too many GOP/GOP adjacent mothers/wives/girlfriends either completely “overlook” the extremism in their midst or actively enable and facilitate the obstinance/defiance and evasion of consequences that leads to White, right wing domestic terrorism. #VanillaISIS
The thing that really chaps my hide about it is I’ve heard Republicans vilify Black family values & label us criminals/social deviants my whole life, yet here they are breeding & grooming the most PROLIFIC White domestic terrorists America’s ever seen and the NARRATIVE is SILENT.
