Google "obama effigy" and reconsider your "not a race" thing. Anybody with eyes can see they crap they pulled on him for years. I mean they shit themselves over a tan suit and an umbrella.

They did the same and worse to Biden.

Not a race thing.

I remember pulling Obama’s birth certificate up for my own grandmother when I was younger (she still refused to believe he was American); there are people in the US who still live in sundown towns and proudly proclaim that “the last black man we had in this town was swinging from that tree over there.” Red places in the US have done some messed up stuff related to Biden propaganda, sure, but it pales in comparison to what my flesh and blood relatives have said to my damn face about Obama. Biden is a human to them. Obama is not.

Proudly standing with you proclaim that we all hate Illinois Nazis. And other Nazis. Honestly just want to kick half of the US populace in the butt and force them through remedial history lessons. And empathy-focused group therapy.

You know, as for things that won’t get redacted by Reddit.
