106. The problem with these voters I would say mainly white

Thu Feb 20, 2025, 11:06 AM

Thursday

voters who vote for Trump is they know of all the bad things he is going to do but they believe somehow Trump will recreate a Jim Crow type of society in which their whiteness will protect them from the harm of his actions and policies and only the minorities that they hate will suffer. This is what it really comes down to.

These people can't compromise and accept having a society where everybody is guaranteed a good quality of life regardless of race. This is why we have been held back from making significant progress towards an equitable society since the 60's.
