It felt like it was uncool to have even a touch of racism when Obama got elected and through his presidency. But since the MAGA movement, I feel like subtle and out-right racism has increased. Like a gateway was opened.

Am I trippin?

        Pasty old white dudes are still livid they can’t rock a tan suit and have it looking this good. It’s the contrast, y’all

        Editing because this still cracks me up:

        Peter King, a member of the Republican Party, deemed the suit’s color to be “unpresidential.” He went on: “There’s no way, I don’t think, any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday. I mean, you have the world watching.”

          Yet not a word when other Presidents wore similar or the same color before and after. It was just something to target.

            Not every suit can be a winner. The point is that tan looked just as bad on every other president. All the recent guys have worn one, too.

            Well, maybe not Donald? He probably wanted more color variety, since he spent the vast majority of his time in chinos for golfing.
