On Juneteenth.
Somehow he thinks there are more racists in America than there are good people.
Sorry Donald. You are dead wrong. Just because you surround yourself with racists it doesn't make it real everywhere.
Us good people outnumber racist nazi confederate white trash scum 2 to 1. Maybe 3 to 1.
You might win Allibamma and Mississiisisisisisisipi and maybe a couple more states filled with white trash racist scum, but your racist ship is sinking.
It's too bad George, Trayvon, Tamir, Eric, and ALL the others had to expire to remind Americans we may have souls, and a sense of right and wrong when it comes to torture, and murder of citizens of color.
Trump thinks racists can take him over the top.
What a moran.

Between voter caging, voter suppression, republicans all being dishonest, and actively working with our enemy Putin, I see real trouble ahead.

(58,785 posts)major appeals to racism worked before; and where it's lost power, appeal to authoritarian suppression of all the "fascist-antifa/socialist" hoodlums on the streets has taken its place.
Plus, it's dangerously probable that they and our enemies foreign and domestic all feel national disruption, the kind that can bring down governments, is very much in their interest. A nation in anything approaching proper order with proper elections will toss these thieves and traitors out.
Their only goal is to keep and gain power, and to that end...anything that might work. If they do, we will be seeing as much beautiful tear gas and troops cutting through citizens like knives through butter as it takes to clear the streets and keep them clear.

(4,664 posts)Last week we had a police major say "TPD should kill more black people" and just a few days ago 2 young boys man handled by the cops for "resisting arrest". They were being arrested for Jaywalking in their own neighborhood. I have lived in Tulsa 40 years and I have never seen it so tense. That was before Trump pulled this BS.
The point is to pour gasoline on the fire. His busloads of cultists will be bringing the matches.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/african-americans-probably-ought-be-shot-more-police-top-tulsa-n1229981
Tulsa police on Tuesday released two body camera videos of the officers who handcuffed two black teenagers on June 4 around 5 p.m. for allegedly jaywalking after a video of their arrest went viral on social media.

Also this was just brought up on local social media - many demonstrations were planned in the area of the arena where Trump will be speaking, before he was scheduled to speak there. There is some question if they will be allowed to continue as scheduled, if they will be moved or outright banned. In any case there will be numerous demonstrations across the city throughout the day and I expect his supporters to start arriving the night before so that they can line the streets to the venue and counter protest. By the time Trump arrives, this could be a nightmare.
I am an Atheist so I am not asking for prayer, but please, please don't forget about Tulsa. Some of us are trapped here behind enemy lines.

(3,903 posts)and rending our garments while they, every single day, destroy America AND NOT ONE OF US, including all the pundits and politicians, CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO STOP IT. How stupid is that?
Seriously, anyone who thinks they're stupid should take a moment to realize that they are carrying out every single facet of their plan, while we just type outraged tweets and post clever, biting, but ultimately ineffectual memes.
We gotta get smarter than them.
