not at all surprising that an obese rich guy who hates progressives is a sex creep who doesn't actually do any work for his six figure salary, but the whole "we were doing a roleplaying session to simulate the 2020 election" part of the story is extremely harrowing to me. it wasn't even a performative thing to be seen by the public, they genuinely thought they would get some insight from that exercise. journalists are dumber than fish

Yeah i've never heard the term "swirler" out of an irl white person, but i have out of a few black women. When they used it, it seemed to mean less "I date white dudes" and more "I ONLY date white dudes".

One of those black ladies was the most openly bigoted person I've ever met, which was very shocking since i have a huge amount of white trash southern/appalachian family. She drunkenly told us at an after work get together about how she paid for her white ex husband to get a confederate flag tattoo, and this made her like, super horny.
