    “Why can’t a narcissist who is also an extremely racist person with basically zero impulse control stop himself from alienating black voters?”

    I mean, I don’t know, seems confusing to me. /s

    This is literally who Trump has always been and now that he’s spinning into dementia just like his father, his impulse control has worsened.

    In 1989, this guy took out a full page ad to attack the Central Park Five and demand the death penalty for them. He still refuses to apologize, despite their long-proven innocence.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/18/nyregion/central-park-five-trump.html

    “You have people on both sides of that,” he said at the White House. “They admitted their guilt.”

    “If you look at Linda Fairstein and if you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city never should have settled that case — so we’ll leave it at that,” he added, referring to the former prosecutor who was running the Manhattan district attorney’s sex crimes unit at the time.

    This is who he has always been. At this point, he literally cannot stop himself, because of total lack of impulse control.

    EDIT: Don’t let it be lost on you that a convicted rapist wanted the death penalty for a rape crime. It’s always projection.

    I assume the MOMENT he saw it was going to be Kamala, he KNEW he lost the black vote. And he’s right. I knew people in 2008 who said “Obama the president now! He’s one of us! So white peoples time is over! It’s our time now!”

    When I asked them what they expected to happen differently, they simply said it didn’t matter, because one of their own was in the white house. When I asked what policies Obama’s lined up with their own opinions, they didn’t know ANY of his policies.

    They voted for him simply because he was black. That’s as far as some people’s voting logic goes.

    Now, today, I expect much of the same. Especially when you look at the republicans and realize that trump may honestly be the worst thing for black people since reagan.

    So regardless of if they’re voting for the right reasons, at least they’re voting for the right person. And if she wins, I cannot wait for the absolute ego shattering meltdown trump will have. I fully expect him to cry.

      My worry is, even though he may know he’ll lose, he’s still pushing through to be able to claim for a third time that the election is rigged, and that his supporters should do a better jan6 than last time.

    On saying Kamala’s not black: He doesn’t want her to get the black vote, so he’s trying to tell people she’s not black. I thought it wouldn’t work but then I listened to a voter outreach thing on it.

    The plan is to disenfranchise black voters so they don’t actually vote while whipping up racist sentiment in the white working class so the proletariat is easier to control. Then, once there is an oversupply of laborforce on the market which is forcing prices down and thus the laborers into action if they want to survive, a portion of them can be redirected to commit race-riots against the other and not revolution. By killing off a large number of laborers the supply of laborforce goes down, hence the price of the laborforce goes back up and at whover survived wont have to take up arms again.

    Readsettlers.org Chapter IV section 3 for instance to see it in action.
