As the leader of the white nationalist movement in America, Trump has a unique hatred for blacks and Hispanics. It is obvious that your illegitimate president is a great admirer of Adolf Hitler. Hitler gathered Jews and placed them in concentration camps. Trump is doing the same thing to Hispanic families seeking asylum.
He is not intelligent enough to know that he desperately needs the Hispanic vote in states like Texas, Arizona, Florida, and New Mexico. Somebody must have whispered this fact in his ear.
While holding a hate rally in New Mexico, he lied to his cult.
Trump made an embarrassing campaign stop in New Mexico to try to win their vote anyway, noting the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, claiming he’s “working night and day” for “extraordinary Mexican Americans,” and touting their low unemployment rate.
First, Trump’s workday does not stretch into the “night.” He leaves the private residence around eleven and ends his heavy workday about three in the afternoon. That’s on the rare occasion he is in the White House. Hispanic’s ‘low unemployment rate’ is somewhat accurate. However, this is once again the result of programs put into place during President Obama’s administration. He had nothing to do with it.
What he has done is separate children from their parents, and place every asylum seeker in a concentration camp. Two words reveal the fact that Trump does not consider non-whites ‘citizens,’ or respect them as fellow human beings. He refers to Latinos and Latinas as “the Hispanics.”
Trump’s overall approval rating among Hispanics is 23 percent; nationally it is currently 36 percent. Among African Americans it dropped to 13 percent. So, which demographics support the orange man?
The only group where his support remains mostly solid is with older, white, poorly educated men. That’s not just his base, it’s the only group that remains enamored with the buffoon in the White House.
62 percent of all women polled claim they are unlikely to vote for Donny Boy. Only 37 percent of millennials support Trump; ages 18-37. These are the largest demographics in America.
Millennials are now the largest voting bloc in the United Sates. When they decide to go to the polls in large numbers, they will control every election. This is very bad news for today’s Republicans in name only. As a group, they tend to be less interested in religion, reject racism and bigotry, are less material, and believe that women are equal to men in every aspect of their lives. The basic premise of today’s GOP is “profit before people.” They are the party of special interests. Secondly, two issues are tied in right-wing importance; fake Christians who compose the Christian religious right, and the NRA gun lobby.
The 2020 election will be historic, and I hope and pray the majority of Americans are on the right side. We must take America back. Please vote on November 3, 2020. If you do the right thing, you will be very proud on the morning of November 4th.
