    “I was a Trump supporter,” he said on Wednesday. “I voted for Trump last election, but, because I thought it was going to be like … against criminals, not every Hispanic, Spanish-lookalike.”

      I have some sympathy for low information voters - a whole party and propaganda mechanism was moving behind the scenes with outreach to each community smoothing and re interpreting what he was saying specifically for any number of audiences - “he doesn’t mean this, he means this”. He’s a joker and a comedian he doesn’t mean x, he only means y.

      To the poor he promised cheaper eggs. To the arabs to stop Israel’s war. To the hispanics to deport only the criminals. To the blacks jobs and security. To the whites to put them on top. To the unions better pay. If there was a lie to be told to a group of people he said it and if he didn’t the mechanism that was talking to that demographic did.

      So it was a pick your own adventure - made you feel like you were on the inside, they’re slowly realising they were the mark of the con.

    Every person who has this “realization” that trump will be bad for them deserves to be smacked by everyone who wants to.

    I work with a lot of legal hispanic folks in a deep red state. They all voted for him. Now they are all afraid of this exact thing happening. I’m probably the only person in my office that voted Harris.

    Not like everyone was shouting to the airwaves this was going to happen.

    I don’t care if he’s brown, black, Chinese or wherever from. If someone deserves it, it’s people like him.
