In my country, it’s called “voting for the fox because the rooster is crowing out of tune”.

      That’s a nice emotional support cop out.

      It’s not racist to say “we told you this kind of shit would happen”. Some people just have trouble accepting the outcomes of their actions. To be a minority and vote for a white republican over a black-Indian democrat means ignoring numerous warnings from white liberals who were raised by racist republicans. Why tf should I have sympathy for people who voted for a DEI purge?

          Nobody is claiming otherwise.

          Fact remains that many Black and Hispanic people voted for Trump, and his support among those demographics apparently increased this last time as well. It’s also a fact that happened when the other choice was a black woman. Machismo, and just being gullible at the end of the day.

            The OP posted another article with the title claiming that the majority of Muslims from Michigan voted for Trump. He is pushing misinformation.

      Do Democrats throw minorities under the bus after being beaten by Trump twice? Sure, but some folks are genuinely trying to be Uncle Toms or Uncle Chans. They think playing respectability politics will save their skin should pogroms come. But here’s the thing, racists only see skin colour and won’t give a damn who had been “one of the good ones” or not. Bigots inherently lack understanding of nuance, so trying to be “one of the good ones” as an act of self-preservation is moronic at best.
