Substitute 'white people on ACA' or any other group that voted for Trump in that meme. - ty97 Nov 8, 16:37 12
- I agree that it’s borderline, because why does the post not say “white people on ACA that voted for Trump”? Why single out Latinos that did? -- nm - Roger More Nov 8, 16:52 11
  - Because they were the biggest demographic shift of the election? -- nm - ty97 Nov 8, 17:03 10
    - To me, that’s why it’s borderline - it’s on the basis of race, but it’s also easy to provide a rationale. It’s how dog whistles work. - Roger More Nov 8, 17:18 9
      - I don't disagree, but if we take color out of the conversation, it's also Occam's Razor. - David Nov 8, 17:20 8
        
        It’s conversation worthy, but we’re talking about a shitpost here. It’s the equivalent of “just asking questions” - Roger More Nov 8, 17:28 2
        
        I'd never heard of Leopards Ate My Face until people here mentioned it earlier this year. And I agree with your point here. It's not healthy. -- nm - David Nov 8, 17:32 1
        
        Right now it's catharsis, which I think we all deserve a little of. -- nm - Reagen Nov 8, 18:02
        
        This is why I'm saying really consider what you're posting - colin Nov 8, 17:24 4
        
        With all due respect I'm a woman living under Donald Trump's thumb. Be careful how much grace you ask for from me. -- nm - amanda Nov 8, 17:36 3
        
        Can I get a witness? -- nm - Turd Ferguson Nov 8, 17:38 2
