      Exactly. Headlines all too often portray groups as monoliths, applying the opinion of some as being the opinion of all.

      I’m sure some are disagreeing, but I highly doubt all, or even a majority, disagree. Give the spin machine some time to do it’s work and before you know it many will cheer the demise of Juneteenth, labor day, and MLK day.

      He could kick them out of their houses, empty their bank accounts to give it to billionaire, and make them sleep in a ditch and they would lick his boots as long as he keeps sending troops to LA. They have a hardon for cruelty. As long as someone they hate has it worse than them they will keep cheering no matter what he does to them.

      I think it’s like how everyone hated Biden/Harris, but there was a common sentiment to vote for them anyway because they’re better than the alternative.

    His dog whistle was too high income for them to hear. He’s gotta be cognizant that shitting on the minorities is only effective when you don’t accidentally attack the people you’re trying to court.

    Trump could tells these fuckers to send their 5 year olds to work 20 hour shifts in a coal mine, 7 days a week and they would still cheer for the orange cheeto.
