You missed the bit about how Obama sold out the neglected the futures of poor whites to globalisation mocking them for clinging to "their god and their guns" and Clinton's dismissing as the deporables.  Trump is their revenge.

Yeah what's the saying? "they vote against their own interest"?

The problem with that is the facts do not support it.

As it stands those who vote for Trump benefited the most (until Covid hit more about that later) viz:

1.Of the seven best-growing states — North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Louisiana, Alaska, Hawaii and Maine — only the latter two voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Moreover, the seven slowest-growing states and districts by Yelp’s measure — Oregon, California, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut and Delaware — all voted Democrat https://www.cnbc.com/2020/01/24/yelp-states-that-backed-trump-growing-faster-than-states-that-didnt.html
2.  500,000 manufacturing ie working class jobs created.

3.  Record unemployment unmatched for over 50 years with minorities such as hispanics, blacks, women workers, with female hispanics leading the way.  Over 6 million jobs

4.  According to the data-gathering website Worldometers, 33% of deaths in the U.S.—just under 61,000—come from three Democratic states: New York, New Jersey and California. All three are headed by Democratic governors, and the statehouses of all three are controlled entirely by Democratic politicians.

In fact the Covid death rates of these States taken alone, they rank in the top 5 IN THE WORLD

So if you voted Trump in 2016 why wouldn't you again?  Why would you care that Democrat States have lower growth, more crime, more Covid deaths and infections?  Its not as of they would, or have...

Bullshit. The whole “systemtic racism” mantra is a ploy designed by the left to galvanise blacks to vote against Trump in November. They desperately need the black vote to beat Trump, so in the absence of any actual evidence for systemic racism they have resorted to casting traditional ideas and systems such as immigration, law and order and even the American flag as symbols of racial oppression. They (Democrats) do this every 4-8 years around election time, they try to whip up racial hysteria and make the election a referendum on race, so that stupid people vote based on irrational emotions rather than policies. And usually by the time the Democrats have taken office all of the protests and riots magically stop, and the ‘race card’ goes back into the draw awaiting it’s next appearance in 4-8 years time. 

The truth is there is very little racism in USA 2020 let alone systemic racism, and all the issues that BLM and their proxies whinge about, like blacks being targets of police, having fewer assets than white people etc, can be explained by organic reasons such as committing more crime, high illiteracy rates, low graduation rates, etc. Of course none of these things are ever mentioned by mainstream media, because to seek an honest intellectual inquiry into these things would provoke howls of racism and cancelled careers.

Sweet jesus . You're now using Wikipedia as a source. You're truly gone beyond a joke

Gotta love the wildly different characterisations of Antifa and Proud Boys on Wikipedia;

The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence. 

Antifa is an anti-fascist and left-wing political movement in the United States comprising an array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both nonviolent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform.

Hahahaha.  And Trump is called the "divisive" one :hehe:

It’s to feed the media machine. All this outrage causes clicks. If it’s reported as same old Trump, then people won’t bother clicking.

i just dont understand how the media is surprised by anything trump is doing. it's been obvious for a long time how this was going to play out.  if i can call it i dont see what's stopping more informed people from reading the situation.

Yeah good piece . The division has been bubbling for decades. The civil rights movement was supposed to be a watershed but it made the racists even more bolden.  Sdy the working class will spite themselves and vote for the gop as they believe the rhetoric.  

Well the GOP have sold their soul to the cult of trump so what did you expect  ? And biden is running due to the fact the democrats don't want an old socialist in sanders and or a young progressive

Excellent piece. Trump is certainly responsible for fanning the flames but this division has been building for decades.

Amazing to think out of 350 million people these two are apparently the cream of the crop.

Will be amazing if Trump somehow agrees to CPD changes for the next debate.

Would be mass hilarity to watch someone turn off his mic (but would also play into his hands)

-PB

They do but its drowned out by calls of fake news

Amazing that Trump brings up Biden's son when that clown is the king of nepotism.  His son in-law, his daughter, his friends, his sons all on the government whack.

Weird nobody calls him on it.

It's kinda crazy that the future and direction of the US is dictated by people so old.

I would be surprised if these debates change 1 vote.

looking forward to seeing foreign policy in a future debate

For once I actually agree with you

Shit debate. Trump has appalling debating skills, he’s asked a question and always goes off on a tangent about something unrelated. Biden is just a silly old man out of his depth who should he committed to a nursing home.

George dubya was an idiot but he actually made some sense compared to these two 

Entertaining, but I doubt any of these debates will change much.

I was expecting Trump to walk off. Biden had some good points and low points. Average performance. 

Sure but Trump set the bar so low that all Biden had to do was not have an aneurysm and he'll look competent.

I might’ve missheard, but did trump actually tell white supremacists to standby? Anyway Biden is completely uninspiring

Yeah. I wanted to jump up on that. There’s too stuff spewed out and no time to give a proper reply. This debate is a joke. It just makes for good American TV

Trump bragging about Obama not appointing judges and how that's a failure when McConnell is on the record saying they blocked all those appointments on purpose.

It’s a friggin crap shoot. Kinda pathetic. Peak USA.

Fuck they need a mute button when the other bloke is talking.  Particularly Trump.  The fucker won't stop interrupting.  He's like a child.

I pity Chris Wallace trying to keep this on track. 

The debate and Dan's press conference starting at exactly the same time, damn.
