I think any European politician who said anything remotely close to this would see their careers instantly over. How is it possible that saying something like this doesn't cost them votes in the US?
- He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that don’t give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.
  
  I'd love to see him say this on the 4th of July or Christmas.
  
  Be the change you want to see in the world and post the exact same screenshot on the 4th.
  Either the reactionaries don't read the date and get pissed off, or they do read the date and get pissed off, proving to everyone else that the have the ability to use critical thinking but choose not to when it benefits their narrative.
  
  I would, but I'm not really on any social networks where the intended audience would see the message.
- His voters love the taste of the boot and the democrats are so shitty that most people just don’t bother to vote
- Because republicans have no integrity and have cultivated a base of gibbering idiots who are happy watching others suffer even if it hurts them too
- Any non-republican in America who said this would also instantly have their careers end. “Would end a political career” happens multiple times a day for trump though and I’m still waiting for him to be held accountable for anything. Unfortunately, they made “holding people accountable” a bipartisan issue and only one party has any interest in doing it…unless it’s a democrat that needs to be held accountable, then it’s usually bipartisan.
- Because they've spent decades demonising and dismantling unions. There's no voice for the workers.
  
  There's a voice for the workers at least every 4 years, and workers demonstrated in November they really want this guy back.
  I wish them to have the day they voted for.
