George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

[Tugay One Cup]

Trump is not speaking to his diverse nation, but to his base, and he's telling them that these rioters are coming for their way of life, and the only one stopping them is him.

He'll tweet them to death from his bunker.

How do those family members feel about him now?

They still think he's a moron.

But... investment is there, jobs are increasing or were before covid. They are not that thick as to think that Trump was the cause. That's not how governments work. Politicians are the loud and obnoxious mouthpiece. Policies are implemented by civil servants.

Money was coming in. New houses, jobs were happening. That's what they voted for.

This is what black people are fighting against.

Nothing will ever change in American life until the gun is legally taken out of society.
Racism is clearly evident throughout the various systems but you will always have problems as long as it’s ok for civilians of any beliefs, to have the right to arm themselves to the teeth.

You have an armed police force.
If the gun was taken out of society police would not find the need to use a gun do much and fear in law enforcement might not be such an issue. Perhaps policing could more readily be reformed.


Don’t see it happening ever in the US.
The nation was founded on the gun and people see it as their right.
I find the concept of living in that kind of society unfathomable.

Hey, sure the guy in the White House hates us because of the colour of our skin, but he didn't stop the already increasing jobs and employment from the Obama years so #winning!

What do they think about him calling black lives matters protesters thugs? Or tear gassing a peaceful protest about police brutality towards black people for a photo op?

What do they think about how his covid budget bailed out the FTSE 100 corporations and gave sweet FA to those small local businesses they voted him in to benefit?

I hate to make historical comparisons, but feel it's necessary. That's the same line the Germans gave when Hitler became chancellor and then dictator. They knew the Jews were being persecuted, but, he brought jobs. He actually did. The economic recovery in the US started with Obama. Economic recovery and prosperity can be achieved without looking the other way when Nazis want elected.

I know a lot of latino's who are big Trump supporters.

You mean rapists?

Or were they judges who can't be allowed to preside over a trial with one side involving latinos?

Or were they people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez who should go back to their shithole country?

 

[bluemcr]

Nice argument back. Seeing as a two of them are Black and one is Indian I'd suggest that you might be a tad off the mark.

And a fucking plum.

I think blacks and ethnic minorities voted for trump aswell. Creating jobs in rundown areas, opening up steel mills etc. It was him or that fucking balloon Hillary

No, mainly hard working people who want to make money without a lot of oversight. A lot only hire other latinos, many undocumented and then work them 12 hr days, seven days a week.

One day I'm sure people much smarter than me will find the definitive reasons why people like that voted for someone who persecutes the illegal immigrants they employ, has nothing but contempt for them and did nothing for them.

Fortunately it's only a minority, something like 20%, but perhaps it shows why the country is where it is right now if 1 in 5 people will vote for someone who persecutes them and openly incites his base to hate them rather than a democrat.
