“For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.” (Hosea 8:7)
For years Democrats have played the race card to divide Americans to get the vote. They support prejudicial college entrance requirements based on the color of your skin instead of the character of your soul and grades. They should have been trying to heal America and move forward. But they thought it politically expedient to play the race card. Now, Trump is turning their methods on its head and the Democrats shall reap the whirlwind. Who's going to take down Washington statues, the man who cut down the cherry tree but told the truth about it, who freed America from the Brits in battle, the father of our country and our first president? So what if he owned 100 slaves? The Dems are falling into Trump's trap. And elite Republicans will either change their ways and join Trump or lose to more populist members of their party.
You see, for years, especially during the last eight years during economic hardship, the "deplorables", the white, the straight, the citizen, non-Wall Street worker, the poor, have been marginalized, disrespected and laughed at by the Democrat liberal left and Republican elites who played the race card, who favored gays, and illegal immigrants, and bailed out the rich, who spit on America the "deplorables" believed in.
So now these same anti-Trump people are continuing to play the same games of identity politics and race baiting. And the white, the straight, the citizen, the non-Wall Street worker, the poor, will rise up and demand attention and support. And the Dems will continue the same methods that will drive even moderate people into the Trump camp. All because of the divisive methods of the Democrats,
Doode...when you quote yourself it's like somebody walking down the street talking to themselves...either they are totally nuts or they are talking on their cell phone...which are you?
As for the second post, you wrote "
And the white, the straight, the citizen, the non-Wall Street worker, the poor, will rise up and demand attention and support."
They did...and it got them Trump who not only isn't going to do anything to actually help them, he's doing things that will hurt them. The only support Trump will end up with are the Alt-Right, Neo-Nazi, White Supremacists and Antisemites.
What is the percentage of white people in the United States?
The percentage of non-Hispanic white people in the U.S. population has reached an all-time low: 63%. That is 197.7 million white people out of 313.9 million Americans. In 2000, whites were 69% of the population. In 1980, they made up 80%.
See a trend? Guess how many whites were in 2015? Do you think it when up or down? Yeah, the percent dropped to 62%. No dat on 2016...wonder how many there will be in 2018 for the midterms?
From a recent Census Bureau report (according to
The HillThe percentage of eligible Americans who showed up to the polls in November dipped slightly to the lowest rate in sixteen years, led by a sharp drop-off in the number of black voters casting ballots.
New data released Wednesday by the Census Bureau shows an estimated 61.4 percent of Americans over the age of 18 cast ballots, down from the 61.8 percent who voted in 2012 and well below the 63.8 percent who voted in 2004, the recent high-point of voter participation.
White voters were most likely to turn out; 65.3 percent of whites told Census Bureau surveyors they voted in 2016, more than a full percentage point higher than their participation rate in 2012.
But voter turnout among black voters fell almost seven percentage points, to 59.4 percent, the Census figures show — after hitting an all-time high of 66.2 percent in 2012.
Fewer than half of Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans turned out to vote; 49 percent of Asians and 47.6 percent of those of Hispanic origin showed up to the polls last year.
Hum, guess which voting block Trump is activating with his blatant racism?
Trump is successfully driving away college educated white men and women...he gonna end up with the Alt-Right, Neo-Nazi, White Supremacists and Antisemites. Wonder what the GOP will do about that? Likely a move away from the right towards the middle don't ya think? I can deal with a centrist GOP...
