Why is racism so normalized on social media in 2025?

I feel like this type of hyper-emotional arguing leaves me not really sure what to say. It's all about how you feel or what you personally believe. We aren't dealing with a shared reality or any set of debatable facts. There is just a fanfiction about the progressives that you've made up and are now attempting to wield in an argument. 

What am I supposed to do with that?

Here's what I'll say: Compare actual policy proposals and tell me what side hates the poor.

Look at the "Big Beautiful Bill", for example. The poorest Americans (lowest decile) are set to lose roughly 2-4% of their household resources, while the richest Americans are set to see their household resources increase by 2-4%. Thats hundreds of thousands of dollars going into the pockets of the richest people in this country every year and what fraction of that loss is being paid for is coming from the pockets of the poorest Americans, who will go hungry or avoid seeking necessary healthcare as a result. This is one of the most regressive bills in decades.

Is that the policy of a party that is truly looking out for the poorest Americans? 

As long as you're still doing the whole "my side are the good guys" thing, nothing you say has anything to do with reality.  If you're a reliable voter then you won't need reality, you can just follow the sound of the pipes.

You also clearly didn't read my entire post or you're simply misrepresenting what I said to make it fit into your dichotomy--and I refuse.  If you don't want to see the flaws in the side you support then that's on your head.  I don't care if you do or don't.

As far as which party cares about the poor, are you fucking joking?  Neither one gives a damn.  Wake up.

I went to a poor rural school, in a poor county, in a poor state.  We didn't have computers until a local company donated their outdated units from storage, which were completely useless by that point.  Not only could they not run modern software but we only had around 12 of them.  I remember sharing one with an older student but the teacher stopped teaching because he said there was no purpose.  Meanwhile, the big focus for the Democrats at the time were inner city schools.  That is all they cared about.  Not disadvantaged students in general, no, just those who met certain criteria.  The part that I find most ironic is that my graduating class was around 50% black, but they were fucked, too, because they shared a school with lower income white kids.

I remember reading that some of those inner city schools that were getting so much attention and support actually had advanced computer and networking classes.  That must have made those rich progressive white people really pleased with themselves.

Do you know what actually changes for the vast majority of the poor and working class when either Democrats and Republicans are in office?  Nothing.  If it did then people wouldn't get fed up and switch back and forth every few years.

"nothing you say has anything to do with reality." is projection on your part. Your last post is completely full of shit, it amounts to nothing more than a lunatic rant that fails to make coherent points based in reality. And when you're confronted with a concrete argument on policy, you dismiss it with a straw man: "my side are the good guys".

"Do you know what actually changes for the vast majority of the poor and working class when either Democrats and Republicans are in office?" was literally self-refuted by your previous paragraph. "I remember reading that some of those inner city schools that were getting so much attention and support actually had advanced computer and networking classes. That must have made those rich progressive white people really pleased with themselves." Yeah! Funny how that works, when the inner city elects leftist politicians, they get leftist policies, and the rural regions that keep electing right-wingers do not. Do you not even understand these basic principles of representative democracy?

"That must have made those rich progressive white people really pleased with themselves." Is this another straw man, or do you actually believe you can read minds?

I mean, seriously, what response do you expect for these kinds of posts you're making?
