How dumb must you be to be a black american for Trump ?
Careful, sounds like you're slipping into the old racist "noble savage" trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone "you ain't black" because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?
This has nothing to do with noble savages etc. Trump has said and done many racist things directed at black people. He has provided aid, comfort, and pardons to white supremacists. If you are part of a group that Trump targets and disdains and you still vote for Trump, it doesn't matter how you justify it (hate for trans people, greed, etc.). It makes no sense for a non-white person to be support a white supremacist. As for white Trump voters - they finally found their hitler.
Not saying it's not dumb, but it's definitely not unprecedented.

at least herman cain dumb.
uzbeckybeckystanstan level dumb.
The leopards ate their faces.
Needs more blood on its mouth
Dude just needs to shut the fuck up. You voted for this you goddamn moron! You voted the guy in that wants to revert to a chattle system you absolute dunce.
Yes, he is a dumbass, but frankly this is exactly what's needed. More and more of his base having reality hit them in the face, complaining loudly, and fracturing his support.
Sure would've been nice to have that without fucking over everyone else at the same time
Wish I knew this bozo in person so I could tell him he's a moron to his face
The painful part is he didn't even say anything like "I regret voting for you!" It was more like "I am strongly considering reducing the level of my support for you!"
Not that Don needs his support anymore. I almost feel like one of the biggest messages to keep pushing is: "Don doesn't care about you." As far as I can find, he hasn't even put out any comments on the pardoned Jan 6 rioter that was killed in a traffic stop.
What a surprising turn of events! Who could've possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn't a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn't a rich white guy? Preposterous!
They had different principles when they were founded, but that was a long time ago.
Yeah I meant the modern republican party. It's kind of ironic that the party that freed the slaves is also the one that wants them back.
They are even making it bad for rich white guys!
Fascism gets extra spicy once they betray the people who put them in power.
Billionaire fascists have no friends, they have accomplices and pawns. Both are disposable once they served their purpose, much like the values and principles said billionaires pretend to stand for.
The only thing they value is themselves and their innate disdain for everybody else.
I have zero sympathies for these morons.
That was my first thought. My heart bleeds for you. I wish I could help you. But you're beyond help and I'm just gonna laugh instead.
Melik Abdul is one of the nation's rising conservative voices.
A radio host, political analyst and strategist with over 15 years of public and private sector experience; Melik's unique ability to connect with audiences has made him a regular contributor across the ideological spectrum.
Since walking away from the Democratic Party in 2016, he has embraced his role as a key player in advancing the conservative movement.
A black Muslim MAGA? What a fucking moron.
Wanna bet $50 he went to GOP because he hates queers?
He thought he would get to live in the master's house.
But they said I was one of the good ones. :(
Or just a grifter that wanted the bag and found joining the GOP would do that as his audience would be dumb.
He hates queers because he wants queers to fuck him. And that inner conflict upsets him
The irony here is that Trump's coalition was so broad because these minority groups felt abandoned when Biden didn't fulfill his promises, but everyone here is kind of just pretending Harris would have actually done something for them. Whether it was inflation, cop cities, endless war, abortion repeal, or assisting in the perpetration of child genocide, Dems did a really shitty job.
And for those of you about to whine about 'both sides-ism', yes, both of you do lie and make extravagant promises during campaign time, and then always fail to deliver.
But you still vote Democrat and Republican anyway.
The point is this guy VOTED for this. He's not taking the both sides bs argument. He actively supported this, there is a bigggggg difference.
I do appreciate that he isn't just pretending Trump is powerless like Democrats always do after the election.
When Democrats lose, there's endless navel-gazing and wondering what went wrong. If there was enough minority outreach, if there was enough non-minority outreach, what policies should've been passed or left on the cutting room floor.
When Republicans lose, they simply don't give a fuck. No one on the right was asking after Trump's loss in 2020 whether it was a mistake to let him run again or if he should've done an interview with Charlamagne the God. They just doubled down on Trump.
The point isn't to say Democrats should be more like Republicans. Republicans are a loony cult, no one should be like them. The point is that there is an extreme and insane double standard, and anyone who acts like Democrats are the ones who need to be harsher on their candidates is hard to take seriously.
are the ones who need to be harsher on their candidates is hard to take seriously.
LOL, I remember in Biden's State of the Union when he ridiculed the Defund the Police movement, and it became crystal clear that you were voting fascist no matter who you picked.
Fuck yes Dems should be more discerning, but it's not like you the voter have any power. It's the rich picking your candidates for you too.
Sure, let's say "things didn't improve much" and "they're actively trying to kill us" is the very exact same thing, and justify taking sides with the later.
So both you and Trump still blame Biden
I blame Biden for his record, yes.
Yeah and I guess you vote third party or not at all which also is a vote for trump. Or maybe you're not even in the US. Pie in the sky idealism is great but unless you're organizing and changing the system BEFORE a generationally crucial election, and you voted third party (aka for trump) then you are just as naive and you'll suffer along with everyone else for your ridiculous unrealistic ideals.
Harris would not have doomed us all to climate change or borked the whole fed government (the consequences of which we're already seeing and will only get much worse in the coming months) and definitely wouldn't have blamed a plane crash on all non-white people with straight up Jim Crow era messaging. Your comment is disingenuous or severely misinformed.
how could he have known that leopards would eat his face?
Damn leopards again
There was a story I read 10 years ago about a guy in Florida. He was at a beach, and there were several signs and fences, and warnings not to be on the beach because there were alligators in those waters.
A policeman saw the guy, wearing a bathing suit, headed for the water. He yelled at the guy "NO! STOP! THERE ARE ALLIGATORS IN THAT WATER! IT'S MATING SEASON WHICH MEANS THEY'RE HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE RIGHT NOW!
Dude yells back "FUCK THE ALLIGATORS!!!"
Goes into the water and within 30 seconds is ripped to shreds in front of his wife and children. When his emotional wife tried yelling at the cop "WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN IN TO SAVE HIM???" The cop answered "I'm not going in that water. There's alligators in there. It's not even safe to have a lifeguard on this beach."
I bring that up so you'll understand the reference I make here.
I don't feel bad for "Blacks for trump". I feel zero empathy for them and the problems trump causes them. Not because they're black, or some racist thing, but because they ignored the alligator signs. All the signs were there. All the signs were there. All the signs said it would be bad for them. They still went into the lake. Fuck em.
Yup. I emphasize with every single person who was able to vote and voted Democrats, or those who were not eligible to vote. Everyone else? Especially if a minority who historically the R party have fucked over raw? Schadenfreude galore
Alligators-eating-people party ate a person.
Beach? Alligators don't like saltwater. They like lakes and rivers and such. Maybe he was swimming in a lake. Lakes wouldn't have lifeguards.
Also, anyone in Florida knows you don't swim in lakes. You treat all bodies of water as if they have a gator in them.
Granted, we're talking about an idiot that would swim with alligators. So that part might be true, but a lot of this story is suspect to me.
The leopards are obese at this point.
Just absolutely feasting, gorged on gullible idiots, who've spent the last near decade being increasingly belligerent and manipulative and gas lighting toward everyone not in their death cult.
Too bad their idiocy will destroy much more than just themselves.
What a shame.
In other news, anyone wanna set up a hermancainaward style community for... Trump Regret Syndrome, or something like that?
I do love me some schadenfreude when its derived from evil idiots.
Weirdo party strategy. Play the good/bad to boost relevance and propel into the spotlight as an alternative or rallying point. No one would care or know about these people otherwise. No one here is stupid except those that follow the piper's flute.
<burp>
Must not have read the fine print before joining.
Fuck off and die.
Uncle Ruckus's face eaten by leopard, who'd have thought.
Dumbass. It's govt by the people, of the people and for the rich white oligarchs, corporate interests and pork felonious insurrectionist people.
Fucking morons.
