Now include the black people who DID NOT SHOW UP TO VOTE AT ALL. THAT is where this failed. Because your “very smart brothas” aren’t saying the truth: white women went to Trump the same way they went to Romney. The ONLY place where Hilary was hurt was with turnout, TURN OUT, that is PEOPLE SHOWING UP, among POC.

Honestly he will probably write it into Ivanka and Jr.’s name somehow, I am not sure if kids can be on the trust but since they can’t be part of his administration they can definitely be the people to run his businesses.

“Why is there a black man next to me?!?” - Trump in that photo.

I think he really, really thought he would lose, then go get to build his media empire and retire even richer. He’d be the new Fox News.

One wonders how your new island will feed itself.

Tulsi Gabbard 2020.

White women didn’t vote any differently than with Romney though. Look at the numbers: in the places it mattered, POC stayed home. The Nazi’s win if you stay home and say “well I should win the election even if the Nazi’s vote more.”

It wasn’t expected because no one expected the drop in voting from POC.

Not appreciably so though. And in counties that mattered, poc didn’t vote in the same numbers they did in 2008 and 2012.

POC not showing up. Because POC KNEW THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY DIDNT. I mean this is like people watching the Nazi’s win, and then saying “well its the Nazi’s fault that the Nazi’s won.”

That white people are voted for racist Trump to the same degree as they did bland Romney is not a point in their favor.

White people “using” black people and latinos? On what level? White people showed up for Hilary the same as they did for Obama. The only part that fell was minority turnout. Are white people expected to vote FOR poc now? Like cast two ballots when poc decide not to show up?

Black people weren’t in the 90th percentile, though barely. But turnout was low. We KNEW white people were racist, but Trump didn’t win more than Romney did. The only difference, demographically, in this election was POC not showing up. That is it.

Of course we can be pissed at Trump voters, but what I am saying is we KNEW WHO THEY WERE. We knew they were out there and what they were doing and WE KNEW how many whites voted for Romney. And we just magically expected them to NOT vote for Trump?

What really pisses me off is we KNEW this. We KNEW so many white people were racist. And how did we overcome that? By FUCKING SHOWING UP. We overcame it TWICE by showing up. But apparently everyone is acting like we expected the Romney voters to suddenly not be full of shit. That after a year and a half of Trump

What do you mean “do your part?” You didn’t show up. Those numbers are real and they don’t lie. You. DID NOT. SHOW UP.

I’m not tired. I’m awake. We keep trying to pretend like white people didn’t do EXACTLY what we knew they would. The only part of the strategy that didn’t work was low turnout with latinos and blacks. If they came out in Obama’s numbers HILARY WOULD BE PRESIDENT. All that had to happen was WE SHOW UP LIKE WE DID FOR

I’m tired of the narrative that its all white people’s fault. White people voted as FUCKING EXPECTED. Trump didn’t drastically improve white voter turnout over Romney. The only thing that changed was black and latino turnout, and a surprising amount of black and latino’s not showing up to vote and a surprising amount

Organize yes, but fuck protesting. What the fuck has protesting done for us? 50 years of protesting since the Great Society was supposed to start, and we have absolutely nothing. We need to organize, vote, get people elected and build a PARTY. More fucking street protests is just more stupid fucking noise that
