Isn't it amazing when a "white supremacist" improves his vote share of _every_ minority demographic (getting the highest share of GOP minority vote since the 60s), and does worse with white men. A goddamn miracle. This is the same guy who received awards from black community organizations before he ran, and had a black girlfriend for a while. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-vote-rising-among-blacks-hispanics-despite-conventional-wisdom-ncna1245787 https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-vote-rising-amon...

Yes. It is pretty amazing.

Yeah, an increase to 8% of the African American population from 6% is definitely a miracle. He's clearly a figure of black activism now.

  For a "white supremacist" it is. For a GOP candidate it is, too - we haven't seen anything like this for 60 years. I mean, another explanation is maybe you've been gaslit by the press, but that's a "conspiracy theory", right?

    “Thousands of men of Jewish descent and hundreds of what the Nazis called ‘full Jews’ served in the military with Hitler’s knowledge. The Nazis allowed these men to serve but at the same time exterminated their families,” Rigg said. [1] Did the former German soldiers of Jewish heritage gaslit this journalist too?

      Yes, the fact that you reached for Hitler to compare to the guy whose daughter and son in law are Jewish, and for whom there are _parades_ held in Tel Aviv does indicate you're rather severely gaslit. https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stories/1914352/this-time-in-israel-pro-trump-car-parade-ends-at-rally-by-u-s-embassy-in-j-m-videos.html https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/headlines-breaking-stor...

        I reached for the nazi comparison simply because it's apt, not because I think he or his supporters are Nazis themselves. That just feels like you're projecting your own expectations onto me which makes me think you're just a debate lord. Hopefully I'm wrong :)

yep, i think people became too lazy to use their brain. It sucks that the news lies so much, but people can do research, but no one does, because it takes sooo much time and is kinda stressful. I get why they dont, but it's dangerous to blindly believe the news. In the end, news organizations are just money making bussinesses, their is no law that says they must tell you the truth. It's also not possible to have fake news laws, and u dont want them anyway, they are very dangerous.
