Earlier this year Simpsons creator Matt Groening told The Guardian they used Trump because he was “the most absurd placeholder joke name that we could think of”.
Because of the consequences these things could have. This election can lead to the reversel of the right for lgbtq to marry for example or take the right away of woman to decide over their own bodies (abortion), depending on the supreme court judges appointed by Trump. Which is preposterous in 2016 in a so-called modern ‘free-country’.
I’m proud to live in a country of undercover racists. But seriously, it has to be worse than places like Poland and Russia where the black footballers get bananas thrown at them and it’s out in the open. Over here you don’t know who you can trust anymore.
It is in a way. Poland and Russia are fairly homogeneous countries where multicultural and multiracial societies are fairly new things. That goes for most of the Eastern European countries. Less tolerence in those regions could be expected I guess. You would expect more from a country like the USA.
