23. For me Trump's appeal to many Americans is his racism, sexism, and pure stupidity

@ my dad's funeral in the winter of 2019 (he taught @ Ohio State) a long time friend and colleague
of his told me that Trump has a 25% base that will never leave him because he has made it OK to say
the n****r word. In the Sept. or Oct. of 2018 Trump came to Lebanon, OH and gave a speech
were he praised Robert E Lee and warned about the caravans of people coming up from central
America and they were being funded by rich internationalists aka "the Jews" and that was no mistake
on Trump or Steve Miller's part. Because that area of Ohio is home to the Klan and many of the
white nationalists arrested for their violence in Charlottesville, VA were from that area or had
spent time there.

Putin has been very effective by inciting these racist assholes into supporting Trump and getting
them to do violence. D.C. 1/6/21 was a Fox News race riot by Trump supporters who bought into
or wanted to believe the lie that they had to "stop the steal" but it was not just a spontaneous
riot but well thought out and planned attempt @ a coup.

And the reason those shits traveled to D.C. and fought so hard is because with Kamala Harris
they see their racist world getting smaller and smaller.
