And Trump denies he said “suckers and losers”. The “party of personal responsibility” never takes responsibility for any of their actions or rhetoric.
- I've seen well-decorated military personnel praise Trump and his presidency. I lose respect for them, and I'll never understand it. Why, why, why do they defend this pile of rotten turds?
  
  My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it's in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.
”Whether you're eating curry at your dinner table or fried chicken, things have gotten more expensive thanks to [Kamala Harris'] policies”

Really? So it’s just a coincidence that you also mentioned curry? C’maaan
- Vance is referencing curry because Laura Loomer recently said the White House will smell like curry if Harris wins.
  
  Isn't Vance's partner of South Asian heritage?
- Shay Dee Vance fancies himself as a wit.
How stupid has the populace become that they can't see this high school bullshit.
- they can’t see this high school bullshit.
  
  You have to go back to elementary school level, like 3rd grade, maybe 2nd.
Right, it was aimed at all black people. His racism is equal opportunity.

- This might be too new. For those without a meme IV:
  
  No relevant but is it me or does that lady become more attractive with ever damn movie she is in.
  
  Idk that's pretty old in meme years.
  
  Holy shit, I never noticed that's the same person. My mind just cracked lol.
You see, it's just a coincidence that he is running against someone who is black and Indian and he just happened to pick the two most racist and stereotypical dishes associated with each.
- The first one was chosen for him, he's reacting to a racist tweet. The second one is his own additional racism. It is an excellent display of how effortlessly racist he can be. Repubs enjoy things like this.
“My obvious and clear racism isn’t offensive! The offended are the enemy!” said the future loser of every political endeavor he’d ever engage in
Trump "Kamala isnt even black"
Vance "hey now, just in case she does turn out to be black, ____"
I only believe that in the sense that he actually means all black people.
I knew I didn't imagine that! Reminds me of when my ex-advisor in a grad program brought up fried chicken during a rant while arguing with a black student about something completely unrelated.

It was... crazy. I have no idea why such a stupid ass stereotype seems to exist in so many people's subconscious, just ready to expose them as an asshole.
- Also, doesn’t everyone like fried chicken? I don’t even eat chicken and I make fake fried chicken
  
  Watermelon, too. Fucking weird that people think only black people are super into watermelon and fried chicken.
  
  Fried chicken is as American as apple pie, for Christ's sake! "African-Americans like an American staple!", uh, yes?? How is that supposed to be a distinguishing mark amongst Americans, much less a bad one??
  
  Racists are not just ignorant and malicious bastards. They're also deeply weird.
You can certainly tell Harris’ color and varied ethnicity is close to the surface of that campaign. The trumpets can’t help themselves.
Real class act, Vance. This is who I want representing all of us. Seems perfectly fit to be 1 heart beat away from president.
