Minorities explain why they voted for Trump

This is "the gutter"?

OK. Good luck "fixing" all this:

The US economy is crushing it compared to other rich countries

US economic growth beat expectations in the fourth quarter, and it's outpacing most of the world's wealthiest countries.

For 4 years Biden turned everything he touched to shit, while his supporters spent all 4 years rolling around on the floor, ignoring the ****ed up mess Biden created and smashing themselves on the ***** shrieking TTTRRRRRRUUUUUUMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!

And now they wonder why minorities didn't vote for their puny rat gods?

I'll sum it up if you don't want to watch:

Trump successfully conned them into believing he would lower prices on food and gas. They think because the weather was good for the harvest when he was village chief if they reelect him the weather will be good again.

This is a kind of pigeon superstition. It's an experiment where a pigeon is placed in a box with a food dispenser that opens randomly based on a timer. The pigeons began believing that flapping their wings caused the dispenser to open. Whatever action they did at the time the food appeared was the action they would repeat.



Ultimately, Dems lost because they failed to attack this superstition about Trump and inflation. They should have attacked Trump on the massive inflation that would result from mass deportation.

I can't wait to see the results in 2026 Midterms when Trump's tariffs and deportations make inflation worse and cause a recession. It'll be interesting to see how Muslim Trump voters respond when he endorses Israel annexing the West Bank and sending settlers into North Gaza.

All peaches and cream lol.

And just because America is better off than other countries doesn’t mean everything is great.

So you expected America to come out of the worst global pandemic in a century, not only having handled it better than any other developed economy on the planet, but so that no one would even notice? Do you really think if Trump had been president that would’ve happened?

Just for reference, America handled the Covid death rate worse than any developed economy on the planet.

Oh, poor guy!

He falls into a non-European, non-white guy / pseudo-Muslim like, and will be swept up during mass deportations, and according to Steve Miller, he will have his US residency and/or citizenship revoked...

Oh well.. Live and learn and for some non-whites....

most likely spend time in a concentration camp and learn!

Oh Lordy! You must be one of those Roe-vember persons that turned up to be Roe-never happened. Midterms are normally won by the party out of power. Considering the House is a thin margin anyway. We can live with that.

Hard to blame Muslim voters (unless one wants to kick down on minorities); they had to choose between Kamala who promised to keep sending Isreal bombs, denying food aid and vetoing peace resolutions in the U.N., and Trump who promised to end the war.

Not an easy choice. I'm sure they won't vote for Trump in 2028...

That was irritating to me and just proves that the FBI brass hates Trump still. They knew that Trump would use that stat during the debate and they withheld it. This is the same as going to MSM and all the social platforms 2 weeks before the election to warn them that the laptop was "Russian disinformation" and to not mention it and the CIA signing a fraudulent letter. Not to mention the FBI and Perkins Coie setting Trump up for Russian collusion. They have been trying to enact a virtual assassination of him ever since he won in 2016. I forget too how heavily the FBI infiltrated Twitter and never said a word that they did and in effect spied on conservatives.

And the left wonders why we say all those cases were lawfare and why we need to clean house in the FBI and CIA. I worry because Kennedy said he wanted to break the CIA into a thousand pieces and what happened to him, and I wonder why thousands of FBI agents can't encrypt a cellphone of a whack job teen....or maybe they DID!

Trump promised to help the Israelis “finish the war”. That’s not the same thing.

 

[Metric Mouse]

Sure. And Kamala promised to keep funding the war and supporting Israel.

Maybe Muslim voters saw how Trump handled Afghanistan, and hoped he would do the same for Gaza.

Or maybe they don't support Hamas and want the war to end and the suffering to stop.

I don't speak for them, but it's clear that, for them and their interests, Kamala was the worse choice.

No one wonders why people didn't vote for Harris. There are plenty of legit reasons. The confusing thing is why anyone in their right mind would vote for a criminal fraud, that constantly lies to them, and has proven his incompetence, throughout his entire life.

Yes, a billionaire who is so incompetent he won twice against all odds, including the FBI and CIA and 4 lawfare cases. But you keep on believing the lies the media feeds you.

Trump specifically said he wanted to pull out of Afghanistan. He called for letting the Israelis take the gloves off.

Any Muslims who thought he would be better than Kamala for Gaza are idiots.

They got duped by a conman and will soon find that those lower prices ain't coming.

Nah. They are educated, decent voters who have a say in our Democracy.

(Unless one is a Democrat, and then they think Muslims are idiots.)

If Kamala didn't listen to them and earn their votes, she's the idiot.

Instead they voted for someone who will actively support and encourage the Israelis to commit genocide.

No, they didn't vote for Kamala, remember?

No, they did vote for Trump. Look at the statistics.

 

[Metric Mouse]

No, they did vote for Trump. Look at the statistics.

Yep.

He must have been better for them than Kamala.

That's how ****ing awful her policies were, in their view.

Not sure why she didn't want their votes?

 

[Cope]

It doesn’t matter why minorities voted for Trump. It doesn’t matter what permissions though rationalization any group gave itself to make an obviously unethical choice. The. FACT remains it was an unethical choice.

When someone literally uses fraud to steal millions from thousands, and there can be no doubt Trump did this, has been a swindling, lying, con man and there is no doubt Trump has been this as well, than making such a person Leader of the Free World is an unethical choice.

That we did it once was problematic That we did it a second time is an indictment of our society and our culture.

We better smarten up and get back to fundamentals on ethical thinking or we will have no one to blame but ourselves for our decline as a society.

Are we going back to the 50's? The slide down the ethics/morality path happened in the 60's.

 

[Paradoxical]

Trump is a criminal fraud. Is that a lie? Nope.

It is a lie. The cases you refer to are preposterous. The same entry of a shakedown payment 34 times is 34 felonies? Really? No underlying crime mentioned. The other one of overtating the value of Mara Lago when the loan was paid back early and the bank was happy? Really?

These are so laughable that the Dems should hang their collective heads in shame.

 

[Questerr]

Yep.

He must have been better for them than Kamala.

Yep, they saw a guy who will actively support Palestinian genocide as better. So they must be Pro-Palestinian genocide, yes?

Did you learn that at Trump University? Donate to his charity, lately? LOL
