In her dispatch on the event, Jane notes that Trump didn’t even bother to show up and instead spoke to attendees via telephone about his planned tax cuts for businesses.

Lmao, asshole literally phoned it in

There was a chance he might be in a room with black people. You think he was gonna risk showing up?

planned tax cuts for businesses

Well, at least Trump spoke about the key issues the black community face and showcased how his platform will enable them to have a better future.

Trump lied an awful lot tonight. Sorry that you fell for it.

Whoosh!

The point of that post was that tax cuts for businesses is NOT the key issue for the black community

I was being sarcastic. Also, he didn’t even lie, he just talked about an unexpected topic as he isn’t “the biggest fan of black people.”

My guess is that he didn’t even dial the number.

You slightly misquoted the next line of the article, but that’s okay as I see it’s not part of the direct quote

Notice the event is named “Black Americans for Trump” and not “Blacks for Trump”. That’s awfully woke of them don’t you think?

Compared to what they were likely thinking, “Blacks for Trump” is downright progressive for them.

That picture isn’t directly related. I think it was taken at the 2016 RNC. I know it’s been a meme since roughly that time.

They first printed shirts saying “Blackies for Trump” but someone in their team caught it last second.

How is it possible to be a member of the pre-civil-rights generation of white people and be so oblivious as to

  • DON A SHIRT that says in huge letters “Blacks for Trump”
  • Wear it in public
  • To an event ostensibly targeted to black people
  • Willingly pose for a picture wearing it with no black people in evidence except those laughing at you or giving you the side eye from a distance.

It’s simple: they never stopped being racist, they just try to not say it out loud anymore.

But oh how they want to, and they’ll vote for the guy they think will make it so they can say it and have everybody think they’re cool again.

Lead poisoning is known to make people dumber and angrier. It seems the boomers got the bulk of the lead poisoning in America. To me, this explains the behavior you’re talking about 🤷. I have no other theories. I think they’re all just brain dead from lead poisoning dude.

I have genuinely thought this for years.

I originally thought that generational bullshit is stupid and, without any other influence, each generation is really the same as the last and the changes only really happen within the society itself. So I always thought it was stupid when people would say, “X generation is the dumbest!”

But then I realized that Boomers were hit with both massively spread lead poisoning and swaths of radiation through especially Midwest America throughout their developmental periods that it is fair enough to say that, should there be such thing as the “Dumbest Generation,” it would likely be the Boomers

In retail it’s always boomers losing their shit about almost nothing, and being 40 now, I recall the past 30 years pretty well, and there were also recipts with coupons, you had to pay cash and using a CC or Debit was a curtesy you couldn’t expect, banks gave you cards and pin numbers, but NOW they can’t handle it. At all.

Plus, a lot of them got Covid without a vacchine and that disease attacks your nervous system and can shave of between 3 to 6 IQ points with each infection. So they are likely even dumber now than they were before Covid.
