Today’s ‘thing we’re pretending is racist but really isn’t’: The phrase ‘Drain the swamp’

Know your non-racism

In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, it’s important to try and stay abreast of what - and what isn’t - considered racist. Here’s a general rule of thumb: If a Republican says a certain word or phrase, it’s racist. If a whinging, bleeding-heart says the same thing? Not racist.

Today’s example? “Drain the Swamp.”

This phrase came up late in Trump’s campaign. Since he won, it’s been decided that it’s super racist.

Well, back in the days of slavery runaway slaves used to hide in the swamps. The racist slave owners, people like Donald Trump, would then drain the swamp and re-capture the slave. I am sure that there is a doctoral dissertation on this subject at some university.

Of course. It the popular collectible card game, "Magic: the Gathering", Swamps are not only Black cards, but they are key Black cards that power all the other Black cards.

To "Drain the Swamp" would automatically be an attack on Black Cards. Such a Spell as "Drain the Swamp" would undoubtedly be a White card, which is worse. (Although, it could be Green, which also opposed Black).

Remember, simply not accepting white guilt is racist. Likely thinking non-whites can be racist is deemed racism by many on the left as well.

So if opposition to so-called “progressives” is deemed racist then wanting to oppose them and remove them is racist.

The left is blaming everything on the straight white guy by the name of “Ray Cis”

would then drain the swamp

How did they do that? There are developers today who would pay dearly to know how they drained swamps before 1865.
