The post is talking about how poc have been treated by the government and the comment sounds exactly like people who say shit like “some people deserve to be slaves” or “who do you think sent the slaves to the new world.” If they wanted to say “don’t forget that some poc voted for the fascist” they could have just said that. It still would have been tone deaf, at best, but you wouldn’t sound like someone making excuses for a racist Internet stranger.

Fair enough. That’s definitely my bad.
