You Voted For Him
Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election against Kamala Harris in a relatively close race overall even though Trump pretty much swept the swing states. The winning margin was primarily due to Latinos and Black men that voted in higher percentages for Trump in 2024 than they did in 2020 when Trump lost to Joe Biden. Let’s see how each group has actually benefitted to date by their Trump vote in the last election.
Latinos: 48% of eligible Latino voters voted for Trump in the November versus 32% who voted for Trump in 2020. That is a significant uptick in support for Trump from the Latino community. The question is why?
The main reason for the significant Latino support for Trump was due to the economy. You can say what you want about Republicans, but one of their strengths has always been messaging. Republicans effectively convinced Latino voters that they would bring down prices by essentially fixating on the price of eggs and other items and assuring that they would only deport undocumented migrants that were the worst of the worst criminals. Well, that didn’t happen quite the way that Latinos expected.
Masked unidentified ICE officials have essentially been terrorizing predominantly Latino communities! From the ICE perspective, if you “look Mexican”, you are possibly subject to a violent assault and abduction by ICE officials if you are a citizen or not. In many cases ICE will assault and abduct you and ask questions later. Your vehicle could be rammed by an ICE vehicle, and you could be pulled violently from your vehicle just based on the way you look.
You could be attending an immigration hearing in court, have papers in hand to return to court at a specified date and time, and be violently abducted in the hallway of the courthouse leaving families in a lurch to survive. Additionally, if deported, you could be sent to foreign prison in a country where you have never been and be assaulted and mistreated in numerous ways with absolutely no way or expectation to be released.
As a result of the Trump administrations cruel immigration policies, there will be millions of Latino families that will go underground for years and going to work at risk just to sustain the family while keeping children from attending school, and trading with businesses as little as possible. Consequently, many Latino owned businesses will be adversely impacted and the overall Latino community as a whole. As long as Donald Trump is in power, there will be a secret Latino underclass that will stay hidden in place until Donald Trump is gone, and common-sense immigration policies are in place in this country.
The Latino community in this country will be negatively impacted for maybe up to a decade or more even after Trump is out of power. Let’s be clear, Trump has total disdain for you regardless of immigration status, and if he could do it legally, would deport every person of any Latino heritage regardless.
OK Latinos, how is your Trump vote working out for ya?
Black Men: OK, where do I start? When Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump for the presidency in 2020, the percentage of Black men that voted for Trump was 12%, In 2024, 21% of Black men voted for Trump, and of course, Trump won the 2024 election. Why the jump in Black male support of Trump from 2020 to 2024?
Let’s be clear Black men, the Trump administration doesn’t like you either! Trump has intimated more than once that he considers Blacks inherently lazy. Trump has said publicly that he considered VP Kamala Harris lazy. A Black person being spotted at Mar-A-Lago would be an endangered species. If Senator Tim Scott, a Black senator, tried to enter Mar-A-Lago, I’m not sure he would be allowed into the front door without some hesitation.
Federal contractors are now allowed to segregate their facilities based on race including, restrooms and lunch and break facilities. Anti-DEI rhetoric is directly responsible for the loss of jobs for well over 300,000 Black women and has played a role in the subsequent 7.5 percent Black unemployment rate, which is almost double the overall employment rate.
The intent of anti-DEI rhetoric is to disenfranchise minorities including women and the HGBTQ+ community both socially and economically. Inherently, it is also a scheme by the Trump administration to elevate unqualified White males over qualified minorities.
In education, the anti-DEI push it is an attempt to reduce the number of minority college applicants, especially those applying to Ivy League schools. Black graduates from Ivy league schools are particularly held in disdain by Donald Trump, and if you are a Black female, heaven forbid.
The Trump anti-DEI push has been successful in reducing the number of Black applicants in most universities and thus the number of educated Black graduates from all universities. This is Trump’s goal!
I can go on and on, but the Trump outlook for Black Americans going forward is not pro-Black, and anything that the Trump administration can do to impact your vote, employment, health and overall well-being will be enacted. Black women have kept up the fight. When it comes to Black men, you are just another lazy DEI Black man. PROVE HIM WRONG!
Venezuelan Boat Attacks
I haven’t seen the US Navy confiscate any drugs ever during these boat attacks, and they have never reported confiscating any drugs. To be honest, the Trump administration doesn’t want survivors because survivors talk.
The insanity of President Trump and his Secretary of War attack dog Pete Hegseth becomes more and more apparent every single day. Now, Trump wants to attack Nigeria. Are you kidding me?
While the U.S. Navy is busy saber rattling off the coast of Venezuela, the Navy just keeps blowing up Brown people in small boats indiscriminately off of the Venezuelan coast. The Trump administration doesn’t seem to value the lives of Brown people or Black people for that matter, which seems very apparent in this country today. I wonder what the Trump administrations’ approach would be if the boat passengers Norwegians.
So far, there have been a total of 19 boat attacks by the Navy on alleged narco-terrorist boats with no real evidence of the identities of the victims. We already know that at least some of the victims were fishermen.
I will start keeping a running tally of the number of Brown people blown up versus the number of Norwegians blown up by the Navy. So far, the tally is as follows:
BROWN PEOPLE 76 NORWEGIANS 0
The Brown People have a huge lead, let’s see if the Norwegians can close the gap before the next issue.
Charlie Kirk/Jimmy Kimmel
There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, the comments by late night host Jimmy Kimmel and the nature of the political beliefs of the perpetrator Tyler Robinson. People have lost jobs and careers have been destroyed because of their comments on social media related to shooting, Let’s take another look.
Jimmy Kimmel’s show was suspended for several days because he essentially stated on his late-night show that Charlie Kirk was murdered by one of their own, alluding to Tyler Robinson being far right-wing. The right was pretty much lambasting liberals and calling for retribution and even violence against the left over the killing. The DOJ has become eerily quiet publicly in regard to Tyler Robinson’s background details. Let’s take a closer look at Robinson.
Tyler Robinson used a pseudonym of “President Donald Trump on the gaming platform “STEAM”, and he dressed as “President Donald Trump” for Halloween in 2017. Additionally, Robinson is a huge fan of Nick Fuentes, who is a White Nationalist and White Supremacist.
Robinson doesn’t sound very left-wing does he? In my opinion, Tyler Robinson is essentially a maga that obviously was not very fond of Charlie Kirk.
Basically, Jimmy Kimmel was right all along!
