    It’s always “the card says moops” shit because their actual reasoning is heinous and they aren’t ready to say the quiet part out loud

    Like for an analogy, I was playing a game of Mafia on IRC once which had some weird extra rules added.

    We were supposed to vote on exiling the Mafia members and someone said “no we don’t have enough information” and I said “there’s one Mafia left and two citizens, if we don’t exile we lose next turn” and he said “no we have to wait” and ran out the clock.

    He was Mafia and I lost. (One of the dumber addon rules had converted him mid-game actually)

    That’s how the far right is. We say “don’t be racist, immigrants are good for America” and mean it. So they hide the racism to stay out of trouble and then they will say any nonsense to get racism done by other means. Until they have the power to come back out of hiding.
