Trump Celebrates Low Black Voter Turnout
October 31, 2020 at 8:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard

President Trump celebrated reports that Joe Biden wasn’t driving up Black voter turnout, framing it in a way that made it seem like he was happy about the disenfranchisement.

Said Trump: “The Black vote is not turning out for him. They’re not showing up to vote and others aren’t either.”

1. If you can't vote, you shouldn't have to pay taxes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_taxation_without_representation



"No taxation without representation" is a political sloganthat originated in the American Revolution, and which expressed one of the primary grievances of the American colonists against Great Britain. In short, many colonistsbelieved that as they were not represented in the distant British parliament, any taxes it imposed on the colonists (such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts) were unconstitutional, and were a denial of the colonists' rights as Englishmen.

2. Black Americans are fired up and flocking to the polls

snip---
Across the country, Black voters are turning out in huge numbers. The stakes this year are especially high, they say, and nothing less than their health and safety is on the ballot.

Trump lies about everything, because he himself is nothing but a lie.

16. The name of the song is the "Cha Cha Slide", although I can't find the version that's in this video

And here’s an article about that day:

17. Making voting fun...coming to a location near you!

4. Lies!

It's a false narrative and some in the media are falling for it. I would be shocked to find out that some of these so-called black turnout "numbers" are being pushed (made up) by the Trump campaign. His game is to pay off a few black celebs to support him then claim it had an impact on black turnout. Lies.

If blacks weren't showing up to vote, why are they targeting the black communities for disenfranchisement? Blacks are showing up and they know it. We aren't fools. We have seen the danger Trump's ideology presents to our safety and quality of life. We are voting so that we can live. I don't believe any data that say otherwise. I've seen the lines in my county and elsewhere. We've seen the images. We are showing up.

The media distributed BS narratives that helped Russia and Trump to successfully interfere with our election in 2016. Don't let them accomplish a similar result in 2020.

5. Read several articles yesterday spouting the same thing . . .

Miami-Dade; Detroit; PA . . .

Watch the early morning cable news, one being CNN. Surge in Miami-Dade voting. No mention of race, but when asking people at the polling places as they came out, it was 50/50. No mention of the post office incident.

Many POC are skeptical of voting by mail re: the intentional damage to the post office. Many of the mail in ballots by POC are rejected because of flaws compared to white voter

But overall such states like GA, TX - POC voting is surging big time.

It will be more articles and verbal spouting concerning Democratic voting which will not be in our favor. That is what the republicans do.

We are in a Pandemic mode that is going haywire because of shithole and the republican party - risng hospitalizations, suffering, deaths.

Americans who can't make ends meet, while the senate republicans don't give a shit.

7. I don't see that where I live in Illinois at all

matter fact the black community is very driven to rid ourselves of trump and our lousy GOP congress person Rodney Davis

[jcgoldie]

10. we must be neighbors Bob

Go Betsy! You'll have to show me where the beach is that you bum on all I see is corn.

9. what an odd thing to celebrate...

...for a guy who has done more for black people than anyone except Abraham Lincoln (maybe)...

[uponit7771]

11. Maybe in one county and that's the one with the screwed up mailing

[GoCubsGo]

12. So, it WASN'T the black turnout in the South Carolina primary that propelled Biden?

What the hell is this asshole talking about? Are all those people standing in line wearing blackface? He is fucking deluded.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

13. He was also shown on CNN minutes ago...

... seeming confident that he would win Minnesota.

Of course, he's a giant liar and seems to even believe his own lies.

Nonetheless, I'll be screaming "Cheaters!" if that actually comes to pass.

14. My entire family is fired up to get rid of that moron.

Some, like me, have already voted and confirmed their vote was counted. Others are Election Day voters and are determined to vote against Trump and for Biden come hell or high water.

15. No Doubt!

As a black man myself, I have no doubt that Black folks are turning out in waves to vote this idiot out. Black folks in states like Florida vote in person rather than by mail for obvious reasons as our signatures "magically" tend to not match when voting by mail. Does anyone think Georgia would be this competitive without Black people voting? Trump is a liar and a scumbag. The media is on their horse race crap yesterday.
