A Change of Heart

So Donald Trump has come to the realization that Klan members, White Nationalists and racist Nazi bigots alone won’t get him the votes necessary to win the presidential election. So now he’s courting the minority vote by reaching out to the African-American and Latino communities. Except he’s decided to court them by speaking exclusively to White audiences and reinforcing their negative stereotypical view of the deplorable plight of minority voters. I don’t know, usually when you want to speak to a specific group of people you go where they are. Wait, what’s that now? You feel insulted and agree that’s not the most effective way to reach the intended audience? Well of course it is because this isn’t about the minority vote or some attempt at outreach, it’s about White people. White people on the edge who can’t bring themselves to vote for him because of his continual racist rhetoric but think if he’s reaching out to the minority communities he can’t really be that racist, now can he. And just as an aside, where the hell are his token African-Americans? He used to have a couple of them standing behind him at his events but they seemed to have disappeared…just wondering, not suggesting sending out a search party for their dumb asses or anything they’re probably happily back on the plantation.

So Mr. Trump goes to a Klan rally rally in Mississippi and again in front of a an audience completely devoid of minorities calls out Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party as bigots and says minorities should vote for him because democrats have made our communities uneducated impoverished war zones full of crime and drugs that only he can help. With him as president he says we’ll be able to get off of welfare and walk down the street in our neighborhoods without the fear of getting shot. He’ll bring back jobs from Mexico and China and we can all go work in his factories for stagnant minimum wage and we’ll all be so thankful we’ll be worshipping at his feet. (Isn’t that called slavery?) Ok, this asshole is just fucking insulting. Seriously he generalizes and paints entire groups of people with broad strokes as crime ridden, jobless, uneducated and living on freebies from the government.  Because of his generalizations he and his supporters see us as all the same, so of course there’s no variety in our lifestyles or livelihoods. None of us are college educated, have good jobs or own homes. We’re all unemployed, lazy more than likely on drugs and constantly killing each other for sport. So he says we should vote for him because “what do you have to lose?” Well let’s see:

  • Healthcare.
  • Any chance at a minimum wage increase or higher wages.
  • Jobs, jobs, jobs.
  • Criminal justice reform.
  • The Supreme Court.
  • Sustained institutionalized racism.
  • An end to voter suppression and the gutting of the Voter’s Rights Act.
  • A woman’s right to govern her own body.
  • Changes to gerrymandered districts.
  • His appeal and enabling of white nationalist and supremacists groups.
  • Dignity & self-respect.
Just to name a few.

To be clear we’re just supposed to forget that whole vile racist birther movement you helped to promote Donald? Or that during the primary, Mexicans were rapists and murderers and now, not so much? What about your claims that a judge was biased against your legal case “because he’s a Mexican”. We’re just stupid and don’t remember your refusal to condemn your white supremacist and Klan supporters? Were you just joking when you said the Trump supporters who beat up a homeless Latino man were simply being passionate about voting for you? Weren’t you the one who said “we need more racial profiling”? What about that housing discrimination suit brought against you and you father by Blacks and Latinos in New York in the 70s? Hello, is this thing on? Please, Donald Trump is full of shit. He hasn’t changed his views or his opinions. He’s the same condescending, bigoted, sexist, narcissistic, bankruptcy filing loser he always was. Simply put Donald Trump is an inherent racist snake oil salesman, he can’t help himself. Any minority person who falls for this latest strategic change and votes for him is a delusional idiot.
