The Heights Of Racist Absurdity

I do have better & more important things to do than re-post inane Nazi horseshit from the iNternet & make threats that idiots will call the police about (8647!) but something like this is so illustrative of how damnably stupid & hateful the wrong-wing of American politics is; how can I resist? I mean, the yout' really are all lazy sods, aren't they?
Nikki McCann Ramirez / Rolling Stone:
Right-Wingers Are Mad Anti-Welfare Ad Isn't Racist Enough  —  Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been attacked by her own party for depicting a lazy white guy named “Brad” in an ad about fraud  —  No racist Republican trope has survived the test of time quite like that of the “welfare queen.”
Lauren Green / Washington Examiner:   Huckabee Sanders slammed for ad featuring white man on welfare
They certainly like the word "skewer".

The WashEx notes:
However, the portrayal of Brad was met with swift condemnation on social media by many conservative voices, who noted that white men are among the Republican Party’s most loyal voters.

“This is a massive own goal, @SarahHuckabee, and you should fire the consultants who made this ad,” Senior Counsel Internet Accountability Project Will Chamberlain wrote on X. “Do not portray your core voting bloc as losers, period.”

“Years ago, Democrats abandoned young white men and turned them into enemies for political purposes,” wrote Jake Bequette, a former NFL player and 2022 Senate candidate in Arkansas. “It was only a matter of time until Republicans explicitly did the same. That time is now. The crown is in the gutter for anyone who unapologetically fights for young white men.”

Speaking of losers, J.B. couldn't make it out of the '22 Republican primary. Poor widdle white boys, so abused. The DC:
Consultants have a stock slacker, and for a decade, that slacker has been a white male. They’re the butt of every sitcom joke, portrayed as an idiot in commercials; they are the cautionary tale in political ads. Meanwhile, every other demographic is the hero or victim of the white male slacker. The ultimate insult of Sanders’s ad is that the GOP is perpetuating this insanity.
Oh, my heart pumps piss for these whining weenies. Break out the tiny violin.
