Comment on Why does trump try to alienate black voters than expect them to vote for the dickhead? And why use Kamala's race as even a talking point let alone even a thought?

I assume the MOMENT he saw it was going to be Kamala, he KNEW he lost the black vote. And he’s right. I knew people in 2008 who said “Obama the president now! He’s one of us! So white peoples time is over! It’s our time now!”

When I asked them what they expected to happen differently, they simply said it didn’t matter, because one of their own was in the white house. When I asked what policies Obama’s lined up with their own opinions, they didn’t know ANY of his policies.

They voted for him simply because he was black. That’s as far as some people’s voting logic goes.

Now, today, I expect much of the same. Especially when you look at the republicans and realize that trump may honestly be the worst thing for black people since reagan.

So regardless of if they’re voting for the right reasons, at least they’re voting for the right person. And if she wins, I cannot wait for the absolute ego shattering meltdown trump will have. I fully expect him to cry.

My worry is, even though he may know he’ll lose, he’s still pushing through to be able to claim for a third time that the election is rigged, and that his supporters should do a better jan6 than last time.

  I think that’s a well established worry at this point
