You asked for this, now enjoy having your pet leopard gnaw your face off.

How dumb must you be to be a black american for Trump ?

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Careful, sounds like you're slipping into the old racist "noble savage" trope. Remember why Biden got backlash for telling someone "you ain't black" because he had reservations about voting for the democrats?

[–] naught101@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago

Not saying it's not dumb, but it's definitely not unprecedented.

Black Americans for Trump is definitely a mind-numbing concept. We're living in strange times.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

at least herman cain dumb.

[–] Jimmycakes@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

Wish I knew this bozo in person so I could tell him he's a moron to his face

[–] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 25 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Dude just needs to shut the fuck up. You voted for this you goddamn moron! You voted the guy in that wants to revert to a chattle system you absolute dunce.

[–] expr@programming.dev 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, he is a dumbass, but frankly this is exactly what's needed. More and more of his base having reality hit them in the face, complaining loudly, and fracturing his support.

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 10 points 15 hours ago

Sure would've been nice to have that without fucking over everyone else at the same time

Needs more blood on its mouth

[–] Katana314@lemmy.world 33 points 22 hours ago

The painful part is he didn't even say anything like "I regret voting for you!" It was more like "I am strongly considering reducing the level of my support for you!"

Not that Don needs his support anymore. I almost feel like one of the biggest messages to keep pushing is: "Don doesn't care about you." As far as I can find, he hasn't even put out any comments on the pardoned Jan 6 rioter that was killed in a traffic stop.

What a surprising turn of events! Who could've possibly predicted this? Are you telling me that the party founded on hate for anyone who isn't a rich white guy is making things harder for whoever isn't a rich white guy? Preposterous!

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

I know this is nitpicky semantics and all, but the party technically was not founded on hate for anyone who isn't a rich white guy, it was at one point the party of opposition to slavery but after the Civil War ended and reparations began the parties sort of shifted and became moderate and heavily bipartisan until that all changed in the 1960s when Democrat President Lindon B Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and political parties continued to polarize in the rise of the information era until reaching the peaks we're currently at.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

They had different principles when they were founded, but that was a long time ago.

[–] shy_mia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 hours ago

Yeah I meant the modern republican party. It's kind of ironic that the party that freed the slaves is also the one that wants them back.

I have zero sympathies for these morons.

[–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That was my first thought. My heart bleeds for you. I wish I could help you. But you're beyond help and I'm just gonna laugh instead.

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 31 points 1 day ago (8 children)

And for the Arabs who voted for Trump thinking he's going to help with Palestinians. How stupid do you have to be?

A black Muslim MAGA? What a fucking moron.

Wanna bet $50 he went to GOP because he hates queers?

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

Bet $100 it's because he hates himself because he is queer.

[–] Cargon@lemmy.ml 15 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

He thought he would get to live in the master's house.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

But they said I was one of the good ones. :(

Or just a grifter that wanted the bag and found joining the GOP would do that as his audience would be dumb.

There was a story I read 10 years ago about a guy in Florida. He was at a beach, and there were several signs and fences, and warnings not to be on the beach because there were alligators in those waters.

A policeman saw the guy, wearing a bathing suit, headed for the water. He yelled at the guy "NO! STOP! THERE ARE ALLIGATORS IN THAT WATER! IT'S MATING SEASON WHICH MEANS THEY'RE HIGHLY AGGRESSIVE RIGHT NOW!

Dude yells back "FUCK THE ALLIGATORS!!!"

Goes into the water and within 30 seconds is ripped to shreds in front of his wife and children. When his emotional wife tried yelling at the cop "WHY DIDN'T YOU RUN IN TO SAVE HIM???" The cop answered "I'm not going in that water. There's alligators in there. It's not even safe to have a lifeguard on this beach."

I bring that up so you'll understand the reference I make here.

I don't feel bad for "Blacks for trump". I feel zero empathy for them and the problems trump causes them. Not because they're black, or some racist thing, but because they ignored the alligator signs. All the signs were there. All the signs were there. All the signs said it would be bad for them. They still went into the lake. Fuck em.

[–] riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Beach? Alligators don't like saltwater. They like lakes and rivers and such. Maybe he was swimming in a lake. Lakes wouldn't have lifeguards.

Also, anyone in Florida knows you don't swim in lakes. You treat all bodies of water as if they have a gator in them.

Granted, we're talking about an idiot that would swim with alligators. So that part might be true, but a lot of this story is suspect to me.

I think OP is misremembering a story where a drunk Texan jumps in a lake full of gators and promptly gets eaten.

Not scared of gators as most around here are slightly smaller than me, won't attack. But fuck me, a 10-FOOTER?!

Saw one at the local swamp for the first time! Knew there had to be one in there but never got eyes on it.
