          I mean, you think lividweasel is joking but that’s probably pretty spot on. None of us were there, obviously, so it’s a bit tongue in cheek…

      They send hecklers to opposition events and assumed the other side does the same. They saw that she was black and decided she was one of those.

        Yes, that’s why they kicked the black woman out of the Ken Paxton rally, surely because she was probably a Democrat plant

      didn’t think a black person could possibly be so stupid to support a white supremacists and assumed she was a plant to instigate shenanigans.

      I have to believe they profiled her and thought the odds that she isn’t a threat was to high. Basically, “is this person secretly a Democrat trying to sneak in and ask disagreeable questions or record things we say and post them online?” Then they looked at their “who is likely to not agree with our agenda list” and her skin color and sex didn’t match up with the majority of their voter base.

          True, but black women are one of the demographics least likely to vote republican

Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you’ve been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don’t know what “Leopards ate my Face” is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn’t in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you’re only using an excerpt from an article that’s otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn’t just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
