"This is why Trump got elected" is why Trump got elected.
It wasn't even a month ago that people were freaking out about young black men defecting to the Republican Party. You had Obama running around all the states Harris lost, trying to shame black voters for a Trump vote they never cast. You had news media blaming black Muslims of being responsible for their own persecution. Just a tidal wave of anger at black Americans for not doing enough to help Harris win.
They ended up being her biggest supporters, while all the white cable news heads and Hawk Tuah podcast listeners and AM Radio addicts were the ones defecting from the party.
Mistakes were made. Mistakes by the campaign specifically. My point is this post is bigoted against a minority, allegedly by another minority.
At least I am calling out the white idiots as a fellow white idiot.
That being said, the rightwards pivot on the border, trying to get the never Trumpers (who apparently still voted for Trump by the same margin in 2020 and that's after January 6th), and the prince of warcrimes himself, Dick Cheney. Yeah. That is your problem. Plus ignoring the genocide.
One final point being, Republicans don't have a monopoly on Racism or Misogyny unfortunately and those Democrats probably stayed home....
The individual is the smallest minority, and there are a long line of individuals who fucked up.
Rather than learning from their mistakes, they'd like to label their critics "bigots".
Dems repeating this to themselves so they can justify doing nothing for the next four years.
