Opinion Of People Who Say Trump Won Because Of A “Whitelash”

[Higgins]

I voted for Obama proudly in 2012, and I missed out on voting for Obama because I was two weeks' shy of turning 18 on Election Day.

I voted Trump in 2016.

Did I vote for Trump because I dislike Black People, or because I dislike Obama, or because Hillary is a woman? No.

I voted for Trump as a middle finger to the Left Wing which to this day tells me that my white skin makes me automatically racist, to the Left Wing which to this day increasingly arrogantly states that I have some original sin of privilege that I can never wash away. That tells me I ought to feel guilty and pay reparations for the sins of dead people who have no biological relation to me. I voted for him because I resented, and resent, the way the modern Left has infected everything I loved and distorted it. I don't care about the Confederacy or the goddamn Confederate flag or statues of Jefferson Davis. I don't feel those things should exist. But I do feel that the modern Left dislikes America, I do feel that the modern Left thinks white people are essentially bad people. The modern Left does want to destroy Western Culture. It's politicians like Cuomo and DeBlasio whose response to this pandemic is destroying the city which I love and reside in.

Trump is an ignorant egomaniac and he is an embarrassment to intellect and sensibility. But he's better than anything the Democrats have to offer. Maybe when the Democrats cease being obsessed with Marxist Race Ideology, and stop being the party of Coates, and stop being the party who says "America was never great", and go back to being the party of working and middle class people of all races, I'll vote Democrat again.

Yes, obviously. Any white person who voted for Trump is a racist. And yes, being willing to tolerate his racism makes you a racist.

Not necessarily, when you consider that most politicians are criminals and that every President in our history has been to greater or lesser degrees a racist.

Clinton locked up Black men by the millions in the 1990s. George W. Bush continued those policies.

FDR locked up Japanese people on the basis of them being Japanese and little else.

Lyndon Johnson, for as much good as he did with Civil Rights, helped shape the War on Drugs. Nixon and Reagan gave it a name and zeroed that War on Blacks, Latinos, and Hippies to suit their political agendas.

Eisenhower pushed Mexican immigrants out of the country.

Jimmy Carter said that neighborhoods should retain their ethnic purity, a very Hitlerian statement.

Reagan evoked States Rights as a code word for "We're better off without Blacks."

Obama injected himself into local racial matters, turning them into national debates, and helped stoke the racial tensions of this country.

They are all relatively bad people, and all have racial wrongs under their belts. It comes down to the choice of who will hurt me least.

Yes, obviously. Any white person who voted for Trump is a racist. And yes, being willing to tolerate his racism makes you a racist.

1. And non-White persons who voted for Trump?

2. What do you think about racists voting for Biden? (because surely there will be some Trump-Biden voters)

1. Idiots. There is literally no good reason to vote for Trump.

2. They’re racist. Not all white racists are Republicans, but all white Republicans are racist

So, you would say you know better than a person of color who who they should vote for? Because, you just stated, a non-white who votes for Trump is an idiot, and there's no good reason for voting for him. Which means whatever reasons a non-white might have to vote for Trump is invalid, which deprives that person of his or her agency or independence of choice or action and boils them down to just being ignorant people who don't know better.

Do you not see how your own statement, as such, can be considered pretty deeply racist, while on the surface white knighting on their behalf?
