That's really funny.
Apparently, you don't remember Trump challenging the birthright of the uppity n****r.
Apparently, you don't remember hoards of Trump supporters shouting "Lock her up".
Apparently, you don't remember his supporters spreading lies about Hillary and Podesta that they were running a porn ring out of the basement of a pizza parlor.
Apparently, you don't remember the death threats that Georgia voting officials got.
Apparently, you don't remember the Capitol invasion crowd chanting "Hang Pence".

Need I cite more examples?
Do you have proof Trump ever called Obama the N word? I don’t think so because he didn’t...
FALSE: Donald Trump Called President Obama a 'Lying N****r'

As far as your other examples, I agree that kind of behavior is wrong rom whatever side it comes from. I’m just saying it has come from the left pretty dramatically and continuously the last four years and to the point that even when Trump’s administration accomplished positive things they could not be acknowledged. Why?

White evangelicals.

Trump's appeal among this group really was a cultural appeal. It was really the "Make America Great Again" mantra. I think most of the power of that slogan was in the last word: again. It was hearkening back to a kind of 1950s America, where white Christians and particularly white Anglo-Saxon Protestants were more dominant in the society demographically and culturally. That's also obviously before Brown v. Board of Education, desegregation and the civil rights movement. And it really had that power. I even started calling them nostalgia voters in the 2016 election cycle, because it was that backward pull that was really the real attraction.​
No, I do not fall into “ this group” .
What a ignorant, slanted article and perspective! I can’t imagine anyone thinking the Make America Great “Again” refers to reviving the culture where “white Anglo-Saxon Protestants were more dominant in the society demographically and culturally” or in other words what the article is insinuating ... when minorities were oppressed. Personally, I see America declining and ending as a nation and don’t think America will be great again- Trump or no Trump. But I’m pretty sure when Trump supporters thought about the slogan MAGA it was about America first over globalization, the economy, returning jobs and manufacturing to the US, preserving freedoms, and saving the lives of the unborn, getting the military out of foreign skirmishes and wars and such... nothing to do with returning to a “1950’s white culture”.

The article really sounds pretty racists and completely ignorant of the reality that many, many Blacks, Asians, Hispanics and people of color supported Trump and were benefited in their communities by his economic policies.
Black Voices for Trump


“Black median household income increased 7.9% in 2019, the largest annual increase in history.

And, in 2019, for the first time ever, the percentage of black households earning above $75,000, 29.4%, exceeded the percentage earning below $25,000, 28.7%.”

Look, I can’t know why you are so bitter. But it is clear that you are. I feel sorry for you.


I can't make it clearer, so I'll just repeat...(with a little emphasis)
Why would I be bitter? Your guy is out. My guy is in. I'm very happy.

But that doesn't stop me from remembering all the really **** things he did. That doesn't stop me from showing my contempt and disdain for his followers. Ignorance is not a virtue. Gullibility is not a virtue.

What positive things did he accomplish? He didn't even build a wall, let alone having Mexico pay for it. He gave a tax cut that benefitted the rich far more than you and me. He didn't get coal miners' jobs back. He completely botched covid. Need I go on?

You "can't imagine"? Well, the authors of the article clearly spelled it out. I see that you could not actually refute anything they wrote.

Personally, I see America declining

It certainly did over the past four years.

Uh huh.

That's why so many attended his rallies.

“Trump challenging the birthright of the uppity n****r.”

... insinuating Trump used that word or thought that about Obama. If you are denying you meant to indicate Trump said or thought that, then it is simply you who uses that N word or thinks that way about a black person, which is pretty bad and clearly racist.



What positive things did he accomplish? He didn't even build a wall, let alone having Mexico pay for it. He gave a tax cut that benefitted the rich far more than you and me. He didn't get coal miners' jobs back. He completely botched covid. Need I go on?

How about the Platinum Plan which called for about a $500 billion increase in Black communities to access economic capital. Also, which designated the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations?

How about the First Step Act criminal justice reform signed into law whereby 90 percent of those whose sentences were reduced are black Americans? (Many if whom were incarcerated with ridiculously harsh sentences for minor drug crimes due to policies supported by Biden and Harris which targeted people of color).

How about creating Opportunity Zones, which encouraged economic development and job creation by incentivizing private investments in low income communities?


How about tax reforms which doubled child tax credits for over 40 million American families?


How about that Trump provided support for Black Colleges and Universities by setting their funding for a ten-year period, rather than annually?

How about supporting school choice (which Biden and teacher’s union oppose) so that students have better educational opportunities?

How about acknowledgment that Jerusalem is the Capitol of Israel and moving the embassy there?

How about the Middle East Peace Accord?


How about discontinuing the use of taxpayer money for Planned Parenthood to slaughter babies here and for abortion in foreign countries?

How about FY2020 NDAA bringing a needed pay raise to American troops?

Trump did not get the U.S. involved in another war overseas.
Need I go on?

How can you be so wrong so many times in such a short paragraph?

Again...You need to learn how to read nuanced writing.

Trump did think that about Obama. Is that so hard for you to believe?

Trump didn't publicly say "uppity ******" and you believe he didn't think that.

Trump didn't say "attack the capitol" and you believe he didn't mean "attack the capitol", when he said:

“We’re going to walk down to the Capitol. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong,"​


You need to learn how to understand nuanced speech.

Whatever, maybe I do need to understand nuanced speech better.
I really don’t care that much about Trump. He and all the commotion going on with the election, Capitol riot, impeachment, etc. are simply very loud distractions to what’s really going on to bring this country down and into compliance with the global agenda, in my perspective.
If you want to depend of mainstream media to give you little excerpts to tell you what happens, that’s your choice. Nevertheless, Trump did tell the crowd to march “ peacefully and patriotically “.


“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

I really didn’t feel like it, but I read his whole long drawn out speech to find the above quote about marching peacefully. After reading the entire thing, I did not come away with the impression that he was trying to incite a riot or insurrection.
This is what Trump told supporters before many stormed Capitol Hill

I noticed you didn’t comment on the list of accomplishments.

Some of his "achievements" were not very well thought out. For example anyone that opposes abortion should support Planned Parenthood. And no babies have been slaughtered. When you use improper claims you lose the debate.

If you believe in a "global agenda" it is because you have started to follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole. "Global agenda" is just more ultra-right-wing conspiracy nonsense. It is nonsense created to scare people like you into believing something evil is afoot.

“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Very selective reading. The bottom line is that Trump lost the election because more people voted against him than for him. Back in the 2016 campaign, he already started saying that if he lost the election, it could only be because he was cheated. Six months before this election, he was already telling his crowds that if he lost the election, it could only be because he was cheated.

He was preparing the big lie. And he told it over and over and over. It worked. Millions believe the election was crooked. Yet, all his expensive lawyers and investigations, in sixty court cases, could not provide any evidence of fraud.

Read his speech again and see for yourself how many times he alleges he won the election. See how many times he says it was stolen from him. Read where he says Mike Pence has to do his duty to overthrow the election. Then look at actual footage of the rioters chanting "Hang Pence" when Pence did his constitutional duty and certified the electors.


Early in the speech, he said, "Today I will lay out just some of the evidence proving that we won this election and we won it by a landslide".

But he didn't provide any evidence. All he did was repeat the lies that didn't hold up in the Courts.

"Over the past several weeks, we’ve amassed overwhelming evidence about a fake election. "​
"There is clear evidence that tens of thousands of votes were switched from President Trump to former Vice President Biden in several counties in Georgia."
"More than 17,000 Michigan ballots were cast by individuals whose names and dates of birth match people who were deceased."
"In Wayne County, that’s a great one. That’s Detroit. One hundred and seventy-four thousand ballots were counted without being tied to an actual registered voter. Nobody knows where they came from."
"Also, in Wayne County, poll watchers observed canvassers rescanning batches of ballots over and over again, up to three or four or five times."

And on and on and on. He tells lies, people believe the lies. People should believe evidence, there was none.

Gullibility check.
Trump announced this plan on Sept 29, just days before the first debate to try to boost his standing among blacks. An announced "plan" is not legislation. He had four years to push for legislation, he did nothing. Why do you think that is?

Also, which designated the Ku Klux Klan and Antifa as terrorist organizations?

Gullibility check.
The KKK is and has been on the decline. There were no KKK people at the Capitol riots. Instead, now we have organizations like The Proud Boys, The Three Percenters, The Oath Keepers, Texas Freedom Force, and other self-described Nazis and white supremacists.
Trump didn't designate any of them as terrorist groups. Why do you think that is?

Did you know that in 2016 Congress almost passed an actual bill that would have done the same thing? Why didn't it pass?

Why the Senate Couldn’t Pass a Crime Bill Both Parties Backed (Published 2016)

  • Sept. 16, 2016


WASHINGTON — A major criminal-justice overhaul bill seemed destined to be the bipartisan success story of the year, consensus legislation that showed lawmakers could still rise above politics.

Then the election, Donald J. Trump’s demand for “law and order” and a series of other political calculations got in the way.

Senate Republicans divided on the wisdom of reducing federal mandatory minimum sentences. Other Republicans, unhappy that President Obama was reducing hundreds of federal prison sentences on his own, did not want to give him a legacy victory.

How about tax reforms which doubled child tax credits for over 40 million American families?

One of Trump's major incentives was to pass a huge tax bill.

Who benefited?

Explaining the Trump Tax Reform Plan
For the wealthy, banks, and other corporations, the tax reform package was considered a lopsided victory given its significant and permanent tax cuts to corporate profits, investment income, estate tax, and more. Financial services companies stood to see huge gains based on the new, lower corporate rate (21%), as well as the more preferable tax treatment of pass-through companies.4 Some banks said their effective tax rate would drop under 21%.

The law temporarily raises the child tax credit to $2,000, with the first $1,400 refundable, and creates a non-refundable $500 credit for non-child dependents.
These changes expire in 2025.​


What We Could Have Had for $1.9 Trillion - Center for American Progress
Throughout his campaign and since taking office, President Donald Trump has promised to stand up for working people and families. But the most far-reaching bill he’s signed into law—the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017—was a handout for corporate America and the wealthy at the expense of working- and middle-class families. President Trump’s tax handout is estimated to cost $1.9 trillion between 2018 and 2027, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). As a result of the law, large corporations are receiving a massive tax cut—even bigger than what was originally expected. And while the law is running up federal deficits, it is having little or no positive effect on the U.S. economy, according to new research from the Congressional Research Service.

Working- and middle-class families deserve better. In fact, for the same $1.9 trillion cost of President Trump’s tax giveaway, the United States could afford to completely eliminate child poverty; double its federal investment in climate science; extend universal access to affordable child care and pre-K; provide a $10,000 raise for teachers in high-poverty schools; provide free community college; and take dramatic action to tackle the opioid epidemic.
Factual information is not hard to find. Perhaps you need to do some research before blindly touting the "benefits" of things.

How about that Trump provided support for Black Colleges and Universities by setting their funding for a ten-year period, rather than annually?

Trump's claim about saving HBCUs was false, but his administration has largely backed sector
Fact-checkers quickly corrected the record after President Trump, during remarks Monday at the Davos economic conference, declared that he had rescued historically black colleges and universities.

I saved HBCUs. We saved them,” Trump said. “They were going out, and we saved them.”

The president’s brief comment appeared to refer to bipartisan legislation, dubbed the FUTURE Act, that the U.S. Congress passed in December. The legislation made permanent $255 million in annual STEM funding for minority-serving colleges, including roughly $85 million specifically allocated to HBCUs.

Congress passed the legislation after a months-long negotiation over several higher education bills. Trump signed the law in December. So, as fact-checkers rightly noted, it’s a stretch at best for the president to claim he single-handedly saved the colleges by signing the law.

Actually, Congress put the bill together. Congress passed the bill. Trump signed it.
The Senate passed a bill Thursday by unanimous consent to permanently fund historically black colleges and universities and minority-serving institutions. Federal funding had expired on October 1.

On Wednesday President Biden issued an Executive Order requiring all person on Federal property to wear a mask. Later on the very same day he went to the Lincoln Memorial, which is Federal property and did not wear a mask.


On the same visit his grandchildren who were with him posed without masks.

I'd like Congress to reprimand Joe Biden for failing to wear a mask. He should be sternly forewarned, if he is caught again without wearing a mask within the next few months on federal property, he could get censured by Congress. Vice President Kamala Harris set the correct example of mask wearing on federal property as she wore a mask at the Lincoln Memorial.

Biden, who has been seen countless times wearing a mask, should have worn a mask in the photo op, I guess.

Trump literally blocked the CDC from issuing a nationwide mask mandate for 10 months, during which 400,000 Americans perished.
