Anyone else surprised by this hard turn to the radical left, with Trump standing up for DEI and ethnic identity politics?

No. With Trump, it’s not really about “right” or “left” — it’s about white nationalism, revenge for perceived slights, and keeping his political base distracted.

Most Italians are BIPOCs.

Perhaps, we should have treated all Italian immigrants the same way that we are treating all Venezuelans-namely as gang members. The Italian mafia caused far more damage than Tren de Aragua has. Perhaps, we should have used the Alien Enemies Act.

Trump truly has the left cornered into being on the unpopular side of every issue. He just does it with ease. He’s a marketing and strategic genius.

Yeah… transsexual athlete / MS 13 day wasn’t getting votes.

Interestingly enough, I look for content by black Jews like Zoe Kravitz and found none there. Interesting that only white Jews get celebrated.

Maybe Disney doesn't have the rights to any of the thousands of movies and TV shows Zoe Kravitz has been in?

Lol yup, totally possible Disney doesn't have the rights to any movies and shows Zoe Kravitz, Maya Rudolph, Tracee Ellis Ross, Boris Kodjoe, Lisa Bonet etc. have been in.

Probably a little more likely that the racist white Jews who selected who is included in the "Jewish Heritage Month" celebration decided to exclude black Jews.

I think that PP was a /s post

I guess the mass deportation thing isn't going well?

Trump does everything out of spite and hate.
