Donald is figuring he should be Time magazine's Person of the Year: "I don't know, that's up to Time Magazine," he continued. "I've been there before. I can't imagine anybody else other than Trump."
What an honorable American no ? The Baffoon stands by killer prince go ahead bask in your glory Republicans he’s your fucking king , this will end up bad for the general public !
I’m just not convinced that forcing politicians to moderate their frankness about racism will help more Democrats win. Why? Because I know the kinds of voters Gray believes will be moved by such tactics. I know they won’t be. I spent nearly two decades in that mostly white evangelical church, and during much of that time I defended them against charges of blanket racism, prayed with them, broke bread with them, spoke about the complexities of life with them.
And yet, when Donald Trump showed up in our area for well-attended rallies during the 2016 presidential primaries, they flocked to him and his open bigotry. Nothing I had said over those two decades meant a thing. Not even the killing of nine black people in a church a couple of counties over convinced them that rejecting the kind of bigotry Trump was espousing should be a priority for any right-thinking person—especially people who claimed they wanted equality for families like mine. We couldn’t even get a jury to convict a white cop of murdering a black man even though the killing was recorded on clear video—the cop shooting the black man in the back several times as the black man was running away.
They. Did. Not. Care. All that mattered was that Trump was saying things they wanted to hear. That’s it. And there’s nothing we can do about that. Does that mean they are irredeemable? That they are forever lost to those of us agitating for more justice, racial and otherwise? No, it doesn’t. But it definitely means they have to do the kind of soul-searching they have yet to commit to. And until that changes, nothing—and no one—can convince them to rethink the choices they’ve been making the past few years.
That’s the cold reality I had to learn the hard way, living as a black man in Trumpland. It would be unwise for Democrats to risk alienating their true base—which is the most diverse coalition of voters in U.S. history—by moderating their views on race to appease white voters who will choose to prioritize racial justice when they are good and ready, and not a day before—if ever.

I’m beginning to think it’s a higher percentage of his overall voters rather than just his 35%-40% base. The shit he spews, the types he attracts, those who defend him. Obama would have been tarred and feathered by now if he and his family and Administration had pulled half the shit Team Trump Treason has pulled. Like that other post about yoga and Panera, that’s also America. It’s not just trucker hats, in your face religion-evangelicalism and guns.
