on white supremacists

TL; DR: whether trump himself is a white supremacist or not is moot.  he sees white supremacists as a large untapped market, voting-bloc-wise.  to them, trump is "their guy", and the size of this voting bloc is unfortunately large and valuable.

 

i don't know if donald trump is a racist.  

but what he's told us in no uncertain terms through his words and actions, an inactions, is that he considers white supremacists to be a voting bloc that he owns.  to them, he's "their guy".

magas can post ad infinitum on social media about how the democratic party was the party of slavery and the party of racism, y'know, back in the 1800s, but in the end, the election in 2020 is about 2020.  

and let's ask ourselves, who are white supremacists voting for in 2020?  biden?  i don't think so.  

who did they vote for in 2016?  hillary?  i don't think so.  

republicans in 2020 seem to be taking credit for abolishing slavery when democrats wanted it to continue, y'know, back in the 1860s, but which party do the white supremacists of 2020 belong to?  i guess at some point over the past 160 years, they flipped.

want more proof:

in last night's presidential debate, trump was given the chance to speak to (and we all expected him to denounce) white supremacists, neo-nazis, proud boys, and anti-semites (ie "very fine people") who created mayhem and murder in charlottesville.

his message?: "stand back and stand by"

and what's more?  turns out that was not off the top of his head.  that message was in his prep notes.

let that sink in.

there are dozens if not hundreds of american issues on the line in the election, as with in any election of our chief executive, but maybe if you can single out this one for a second...

who are the white supremacists voting for?

i dunno... maybe vote for the other guy.
