I love that his people let him go to this event 🤣

PunnyName ,

The fact that he went there, and stuck around, surprises me.

He went because his strategy is to peel off any low-info black voters he can.

If you go into a community that overwhelmingly hates you, you can never do worse than where you started. Notice the handful of presumable plants cheering Trump on in the crowd, too.

He gets his few talking points in and some “respect” him for reaching out to the community and that’s all he’s after.

Also he gives idiots like my parents an excuse to maintain their cognitive dissonance. I feel they couldn’t have instilled the decent base values they did while being actual neo-nazis so I’m trying to just hold out hope that they’re just dumbasses.

My parents would often tell me it was bad to discriminate against people for their origin and had several black friends but then would also tell me other stuff with varying degrees of truth. My mother would often tell me that one of her classmates when she was younger accused her of being descended from the people who enslaved his ancestors and she (rightly) informed him that she’s a second generation immigrant (my grandparents were fresh off the boat) but she would bring it up at every opportunity (and the whole critical race theory thing gave her a whole ideological platform for that single anecdote). She also used to talk a bunch about welfare moms when she was the most welfare mom I’ve ever seen (irresponsibly reproducing genetically fucked up kids she knew she couldn’t adequately care for and semi-successfuly offloading them on the state eventually), but fundies usually are! And she’d tell me that black men were pushy sexually so be careful around them.

So there seems to be this conscious thread of wanting to be fair and honest and all that good Christian shit but then they’re also staying in this weird little bubble where a group of people just always getting the short end of the stick makes sense somehow through a bunch of anecdotes, conspiracy theories, and inflammatory rumors like “rainbow parties” and “drugs in Halloween candy” and “jelly bracelet colors are what sex acts you’ve done” none of which make literally any sense if you have even cursory knowledge of the subject matter or even just basic logic skills:

Like in addition to my mother frequently expressing disgust at the concept of blowjobs I also know she’s never given one (or at least never given a good one) because the idea of a “rainbow party” would just be kind of an awkward and mediocre experience for everyone involved.

No one is putting drugs in Halloween candy because that shit is expensive and no one is going to give them away for free.

The jelly bracelets I guess could make sense but who would bother with all that extra bullshit when you can just tell people what you’re willing to do with words.

And for bonus points: no one is stealing wanted suburban children to sex traffic because it’s way too easy to buy one off a tweaker or convince a teenage runaway that you’re a “modeling scout,” or run a school for “troubled children.” There are plenty of children out there that no one, not even the parents, will look for, let alone the cops or anyone with any authority. And most human trafficking in general is for labor, especially when it’s adults being trafficked. No one out there is trafficking 30 year old women (primarily) for sex, the rape is just a side perk of owning a sweatshop.

Anyway TLDR either my parents are neo-nazis in deep cover or there’s a significant portion of that political base that are just extremely gullible. Worst part? They BOTH have graduate STEM degrees. Utterly mind boggling.

Try having them watch the documentary, “The Brainwashing of my Dad.” long shot, but worth trying…

I’ve been amazed for decades how trying to live the values my family instilled in me makes me some kind of commie that wants to destroy america.

Kamala is really fucking with his head.

MyOpinion ,

Trump chose to turn into an Orange turd. Kamala has remained who she is.

xantoxis ,

My jaw remains firmly in place. I was well prepared for this by his many, many, many other racist statements and actions.

That’s a weird thing to say

Whelp, so much for the Black vote. That’s a prime FAFO moment for him.

kaitco ,

And, after all the momentum he’d made in the black community by offering gold sneakers and taking a bullet!

another ,

Mixed race problems. “What are you?” “Well, funny thing…”

I identify as human ☝️

Intensely.

Overt racism is not a winning strategy. Keep it going.

spongebue ,

I mean, it’s not, but I’m not a fan of overt racism [towards other people] as a means to an end, especially if it empowers your everyday racist

Snowclone ,

They always forget WHY they need to have an excuse or alternative meaning for their racist shit.

Alexstarfire ,

Hell yea. I had him saying a slur before August. Just under the wire.

catloaf ,

I don’t see that he actually used a slur. It seems they’re using it in the more broad sense of “insulting or disparaging remark or innuendo”.

Alexstarfire ,

Damn. He’s still got about an hour and a half. I have hope.

Sorgan71 ,

god this article is trash, fuck these paywalls man

Yeah goddamn if only OP put a paywall-free link!

Oh wait

inclementimmigrant ,

He just can’t stop himself from being a total Republican can he?

Pilferjinx ,

Fucking weirdos man.

Furbag ,

This interview was stunning. He winged and moaned the whole time about being made to wait, technical issues, other news networks, and not having his ass kissed constantly by the hosts. He did not substantially answer even one single question, and used every opportunity to speak to go off the rails on immigrants and spew lies so blatantly false that the hosts could fact check him on the spot. No Donald, innocent people don’t need pardons. No Donald, there is no such thing as a post-birth abortion. Holy Christ I cannot believe how absolutely fucking retarded Trump really is.

My favorite part was when he talked about how Kamala Harris is the worst vice president of all time and did a terrible job, but then shoved JD Vance under the bus and said that VP picks are just ceremonial and that they do nothing. Like, bro, which is it?
