Yeah but the only people they know are white.
Trumpers in my family only get close to black people that are serving them food or ringing up their items at a supermarket.

I made an anti-Trump ad because he sucks. Also, it was therapeutic. Harrisâs included comments are from a speech she gave today that was pretty good.

The two most Trump-like people in my extended family through marriage (actually divorced) were most that way because of guns and at least one of them is extremelly anti-Trump and pro-BLM now. The other is also an extremely empathetic and not racist person - dunno where she is on Trump lately.

Nah. I know it might make some people uncomfortable, but tons of these just utterly insane bigots have fairly normal relationships with their non-White coworkersâeven if the co-workers have to swallow lots of grains of salt and keep their mouths shut because challenging every microaggression is impossible and doesnât work out well for them as they have learned.
But scumbag racists do have human relationships with people outside their own race. A few of them reconsider their beliefs when it happens, but most of them donât, theyâre just too far gone down the rabbit hole. The person they know ceases to be a member of his race and becomes a person, but they never apply that to a larger context. But the racists genuinely have empathy for these people as individuals and will make common cause with them or come to their aid.

I guess some do but pretty much every picture of my family and their friends is like a piece of white bread. To be fair, a good chunk of it is that they live in majority white neighborhoods. So naturally their friends will be those nearby. But these people have jobs with POC co-workers. They can interact if they want but opt not to.
Itâs my experience that Trumperâs are empathetic, but ONLY to the people in their immediate circle. This includes minorities. If somebody is outside their immediate circle they are incapable of empathizing with them.
I think itâs one of the big reasons we disagree so much on things. Progressives are able to envision somebody across the country without health insurance or in peril, but Trumpers can ONLY envision themselves and their immediate family/friends in that way.
Itâs why a lot of conservatives have a come to jesus moment when their kid comes out as gay, or their father gets cancer and loses the house to bankruptcyâŚ
Itâs also the same mechanism that allows them to have black friends and claim they arenât racist, because THAT particular black friend is in their inner circle.

They are generally kind and generous towards me. It seems more complicated than that. Iâm Hispanic though I guess I can pass for white depending on the season.
How would he be different in a second term? Really not much at all. âI think Iâd be similar,â he said.
âŚ
Beyond more of the same, he has strained lately to define what his second-term agenda would be. Asked at various points, even by friendly interviewers on Fox News, he has offered meandering answers. His fellow Republicans seem no more certain. They therefore dispensed with a party platform altogether, opting instead for a simple resolution of loyalty to the president.
âŚ
âBut so I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very, very, I think weâd have a very, very solid, we would continue what weâre doing, weâd solidify what weâve done and we have other things on our plate that we want to get done,â he said

At his first convention, Mr. Trump called himself âthe law-and-order candidate,â much as he planned to do again on Thursday night. When it looked like he would lose in 2016, he claimed the election was being ârigged,â a word he recycled this year while trailing Mr. Biden in the polls. Just this week, he challenged Mr. Biden to take a drug test, much as he demanded that Hillary Clinton do last time.
âŚ
His staff grows frustrated when he sometimes does not show up until 11:30 a.m. or even later. But he has little respect for the schedule, turning a 15-minute meeting into a 45-minute session. When he has had enough, he bangs his hands on his desk twice with open palms to signal that a meeting is over.
âŚ
He lashes out at whoever is on hand even if they have nothing to do with whatever angers him, Ms. Westerhout wrote in an otherwise admiring book in which she praises him as a generous boss. Aides cringe when they have to deliver bad news. âI really donât want to go in there,â she recalled Sarah Huckabee Sanders, then the press secretary, telling her. âPlease donât make me.â When the president needed bucking up, Ms. Westerhout would arrange a call with his friend, Robert K. Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots who has been charged with solicitation of prostitution.

Lately, some of the harshest criticism has come from relatives. His niece Mary L. Trump wrote a scathing book about him and produced recordings she secretly made of the presidentâs sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, calling him a man with âno principlesâ and denouncing his âlying.â
In the interview, Mr. Trump complained that the tapes were released just as he was presiding over a funeral for his brother, Robert S. Trump, but otherwise did not respond to his sisterâs criticism. âThat was a very sad, itâs a sad moment,â he said. âHey, it is what it is.â
But Mr. Trump rejected the portrayal of him as a lazy, television-obsessed president. âJust the opposite,â he said. âI donât watch very much TV. Nobody knows what I do.â He said, âI work very long hours, actually, very long hours, probably longer than just about anybody. And I think more importantly, I think I work effectively.â
âŚ
If he had it to do over again, he said, he would have ensured the country had more medical gear stockpiled but he offered no regrets for playing down the virus and insisted that his push to reopen society last spring was the right one despite the cascade of death that followed. âI think it was a good decision because look at how our economy is going up,â Mr. Trump said.
âŚ
His worst moments since taking office, he said, were the day he was impeached, unfairly in his mind, and the night that Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, cast the key vote dooming a Republican effort to revoke President Barack Obamaâs health care program. He acknowledged at the time that the job was harder than he had expected.

Yeah itâs a good point. The last time I tried adding music (âSend in the clownsâ late last year) it got insta-nuked for copyright. I guess I could try and find something appropriately somber and in the public domainâŚ
LOL confirmed! Subscribers can expect new content as often as once a year.

Oh yeah thatâs a good point. Maybe a cover of a song might work.
If you are white you can open carry anything. If you are black open carrying nail clippers is punishable by death.
