In immediately’s episode of ‘Not Like Us’ Is An Understatement, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) has been catching a variety of warmth just lately for referring to President Donald Trump as “daddy,” which, notably, different Republicans and MAGA conservatives have achieved since voters determined to let Trump get his rotten apricot-tinted butt shavings everywhere in the Oval Workplace furnishings once more.

“When Individuals see deportations or repatriations occur, they’re gonna be like, ‘Thanks,’” Donalds stated throughout an look on Fox Information final Sunday. “After they see the border closed, they’re gonna say, ‘That is what I voted for.’ After they see peace beginning to get away once more world wide, they’re gonna be like, ‘That is the steadiness that we had been asking for.’”

“Daddy’s again,” he added.

Now, earlier than we get again to Donalds behaving as if he has already given Trump permission to assert him on his taxes although he solely comes round each different Thanksgiving, the congressman has demonstrated one in all my largest frustrations relating to Black conservatives:

They discuss white.

Very like white conservatives, when Donalds speaks on how “Individuals” will really feel about their collective “daddy,” he’s actually simply speaking about white individuals.

Don’t get me improper, there are actually a variety of Black Individuals who’ve let conservatives persuade them that Hispanic immigrants are their shared enemy as a result of they’re taking the entire “Black jobs,” however the name for mass deportation — from “construct that wall” to “they’re consuming that cats and canine” — has been a white nationalist name to motion for greater than the final 20 years. Donalds is preaching to the identical Caucasian choir he let pat him on the top like he was Republicans’ pet “Black buddy” in 2023.

It’s nearly like they’re all his “daddy.”

Once more, to be truthful, Donalds isn’t the one youngster left behind who has referred to Trump as their patriarch.

From The Hill:

On Sunday, Rep. Lauren Boebert took to X to put up a photograph of TIME Journal’s cowl of Trump, captioning her put up: “Daddy’s dwelling!”

Turning Level USA cofounder Charlie Kirk additionally posted a photograph of Trump on X with the caption “Dad is dwelling.”

However it appears former Fox Information host Tucker Carlson would be the one to first confer with Trump as a father determine.

In October, Carlson predicted Trump would win the election and “spank” America like a misbehaving youngster.

“When Dad will get dwelling, you realize what he says? ‘You’ve been a foul lady,’” Carlson stated on the time. “‘You’ve been a foul little lady and also you’re getting a vigorous spanking proper now.’”

Ahh sure, Tucker Carlson, the person who complained {that a} cartoon mascot for M&Ms wasn’t “horny” sufficient, has additionally shared with us his fantasy of America as a younger faculty lady getting spanked by “daddy.”

So, Donalds isn’t the one one out right here sounding like he desires to take a seat in Trump’s lap and let the president bounce him off his knee, but when he had been of the aforementioned “like us” selection, he would know that being a grown Black man who refers to an previous white man who already has a raging white savior advanced as “daddy” is a positive solution to have Black individuals pretending to not see him at any of the numerous cookouts he’d doubtless by no means be invited to.

Additionally — it’s simply bizarre, man.
