Al Franken: Trump losing support among older racists

...

Back at his table, Toole is wiping up the coffee spilled from the table-pounding. “And those goddam Black Lives Matter protesters? He shoulda put vicious dogs on ‘em like he promised.” Fortenberry, standing six feet away, nods in agreement.

“But, my God, what a goddam, stupid idiot!” Toole scoffs, shaking his head. “He’s been screwing up from Day One!” Then mocking the president he says, “’It’ll disappear in April,’” in a voice that could best be described as that of a person who is cognitively disabled .

“Right!” laughs Fortenberry. “I mean he’s a friggin’ idiot!” That illicits a cackle from Gretchen McCusker as her husband just stares down at his waffles.
Now Toole is exasperated. “And he’s just incapable of learning from his mistakes. The thing he said in Tulsa about testing? That made me wish I’d voted for Hillary!”

votes.

It's not many but remember that it was the recession in 2008 . and Right now older people are at risk from dying of Covid .

Also many people think of racists as always being some KKK types. Often they are the type that would be nice to the black person working at the grocery store , would not think much of the hispanic kid at mcdonalds etc.

But if they lose their job or they don't get something they hoped for they will blame it on the minority they think took it from them. If they lose their job and then see a black person in an nice car they will lash out at black people "getting free stuff" and other shit.
