Aight brey, it''s been over a year now and Imma say that I need to stop hearing stories about brown people that voted for Trump centered around "economic concerns" when those very same brown people are literally telling you DIRECTLY why they voted for him:
They're ladder cutters who fucking hate queer people. It ain't a big mystery. These people literally saying it when you interview them; 50/50 chance they'd have voted for literally Hitler to get gay and trans ppl. Ain't a riddle...
Everyone, literally EVERYONE who voted for Trump, did it to fucking put the boots to SOMEBODY. So if you wanna know why a person who Trump promised to directly target, woulda decided to vote for him - the easy way to figure it out is figure out who THEY wanted Trump to stomp.
In the vast majority of cases for conservative Latino, Arab, and even like the wingers in the Hatian-American community, it's queer people and other migrants. Not them. They did it "the right way" - other, newer migrants.
And this ain't new man. I was reading articles about how "the Bush GOP is making inroads with Muslim conservatives in America because gay marriage" back in the mid 90's.
So you gotta ask yourself why the media keeps putting these people on your TV. Like I said, this isn't a mystery - it's straight up bigotry, the same reason anyone else voted for Trump. But we gotta have 100 stories about how MAYBE it's not hate because look at Trump's African American rapper friends! Or whatever. It's bullshit
@AnarchoNinaWrites They need the narrative to keep these people on their side. We all know it is bullshit, but it lets the trump supporters tell themselves the same lie, so they don't have to admit to themselves that they are doing it out of hate.
They are. They know that. We know that. But, they feel better with the lies, so they keep telling them.
