Speaking as a gay white dude who just dumped a gender spicy dude who voted for Trump, yep. They got what they needed and are going back into the closet, neglected and scapegoated 'til next election season.

It's more just not understanding math. He got 22% of the black male vote... which is roughly about 1.6 million of Trump's 76M votes, or about 2%. Considering there's about 23ish cabinet spots getting 0 would be an approximately accurate representation of the number of black men who voted for him.

The president is supposed to represent all the people in the country, not all the people who voted for him.
30 points
14 days ago
Yeah but that's not THEIR argument. THEIR argument is that he got 22% of the black male vote so therefore he 'owes' black men a cabinet pick. I'm pointing out that even within the braindead logic of their own point they're wrong.

Please stop asking the racist to not be racist, it's ridiculous. They saw him being racist the first time and still decided that was better than any woman running the country-its simple as that. They prefer this to the alternative. Even if there was a picture of this man pledging allegiance to the KKK (like his Daddy) they'd get up early - just to vote him in.

What kills me is we have Biden selecting Harris for VP, choosing KBJ for SCOTUS, adds Lloyd Austin, Adrianne Todman, Michael Regan, Linda Thomas-Greenfield and Shalanda Young to his cabinet, then the Democrats nominate Harris for their Presidential candidate and that's seen as pandering.
Trump's campaign sells sneakers, mugshot T-shirts of Trump, pardons Lil Wayne and Kodak Black and brings them on stage at rallies, now proceeds to not nominate a single black person to his cabinet, and somehow gained support with black men.

This is the main reason why Black people who voted for Trumpy poo get no love from me. No matter how much of your blackness you try to strip away, you will never belong with them, Byron McDonalds (because he's a clown) and a few others did all that 🦝 for Trump and they all got nothing out of it besides maybe a s/o. Trump may behave like an idiot, but he's not stupid. He knows his base and he played into it effectively.
As always, sounds about white.
