+1000. What will be interesting to see is if the Republican party can in fact moderate its extreme wing to court more black & latino voters. [/quote]
Lol no. They can put on a mask of decency for about ten minutes, max. They hopped into the basket of deplorables and wallowed around in it like it was something to be proud of. They owned it because they were proud of it. [/quote]

except there really wasn’t much about the “deplorables” that was expressly anti-black. to the extent they expressed ideas about race it was mainly focused on immigration and now “anti-wokeness.” you may be suprised to know that not all black people are woke and pro-immigrant. [/quote]
Just because you want to wish that that were so, doesn’t make it so. “You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. […]The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”

That was the deal. They liked being racist and they were happy to have Trump give them permission to say what they’d been thinking. “F*ck your feelings,” remember?

A minority, Black or Latino or Muslim or whoever, can vote for a Republican. That’s their right as an American citizen, a right that the GOP wants to take from everyone but White men, but that’s currently their right. And it is my right as a citizen to say that’s a mega stupid idea to cast a vote for a bigoted party that celebrates its bigotry and offers no solutions to problems. [/quote]
