Donald Trump thinks there's something suspicious about Black voting (again)


At this point, it’s hard to tell if former president Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories about the 2020 election are old or new. Everything is sort of blurry, both because so many of his claims have been completely debunked, prompting him to occasionally offer them more vaguely, and in part because Trump always does this with rhetoric. He takes some point he thinks is great and, through repetition, wears it down to a catchphrase that close observers immediately understand. (Do you know who the “FBI lovers” are? Congratulations, you’ve seen this effect at work.) Many of his unfounded claims about fraud in the 2020 election simply require one touchstone — “Arizona!” — and everyone gets the drift.


But then there are more specific things such as this line of attack he offered during a rally in Iowa over the weekend.

“Joe Biden lost with the African American population to former president Barack Hussein Obama in every single state other than the five swing states, in other words, the only states that were going to determine the election — although I think a lot of other states were corrupt also.”


This particular allegation is accusatory on two levels, of course. There’s the actual allegation, that President Biden underperformed with Black voters everywhere but in swing states, which we’ll get to in a moment. Then there’s the subtext, if you can use that term to describe something glaringly obvious. Oh, so there was fraud done by Black voters who’d voted differently for Barack Hussein Obama, you say? I certainly wonder how that will be interpreted by Trump supporters?

that it's at all unusual that Black Americans vote in great majorities for the Democratic candidate--

you know, rather than the racist one.

And let me just make sure to thank Black Americans for this.

He just talks and says whatever pops into his head. Most of the time it's just incoherent rambling. I feel like I lose brain cells listening to him. So I don't.
