Electile Dysfunction (Current students plz look!)

I don't think the fact he dressed up in blackface 30 years ago is really impeachable on it's own, but the incompetent way he addressed the issue is. I can see how in the mid 80's a dumbass college student couldve done blackface without understanding the implications. Doesn't mean he isn't actually racist, but there is a possibility he isn't.

If this had happened much more recently there'd be zero excuse. But I think Northam handled it so poorly that he really should just step down.

Either way, I would in no way use Trump to calibrate my acceptability-meter. Him and his administration is so far into corruptness, immorality, ineptitude and stupidity that it defies any scale of measurement. It's hard to believe even for people who hate him.

The interesting thing is that there are a number of examples of other politicians trying to channel the same bat shit offensiveness of Trump and failing miserably (Roy Moore comes to mind). It only seems to work for Trump and Trump alone.
