(131,199 posts)3. I don't get it either, but there are also members of other groups -
Latino, LGBT, Muslim - who vote GOP but are demeaned and disliked by GOP politicians. I don't get them either. Maybe they are people who have money and think tax cuts are more important and are willing to put up with their group or identity being hated as long as they benefit financially?

Look at those assholes who travelled the country with the group Black for Trumps- he was onto some other scam before that. And Diamond and Silk? LOL theyre pros at this. But also a lot of bottom feeders whod be average to unexceptional if they were Dem get a boost from it. Like Stacey Dash. the GOP wants to show them off, and they gotta pay.
