But, Trump has a lot of support by black women too? Why do these articles always make it sound like all minorities, blacks included, only vote one way? There are millions of black females that are conservative, the deep south is filled with very religious black people… does their voice not count?
Black Christians do not vote like white Christians.
Just because they happen to be a minority doesn’t mean they don’t show up to the polls. The poll totals in the deep south, where the majority of black Americans live, have historically shown that black Republicans, who are mostly “Christian”, show up to the polls far more than their black Democrat counterparts. Exactly the same as white “Christian” Americans.
Ah yes, the best way to make your voice heard is to become silent.
It might not be a bad strategy. Trump is famously undisciplined and his lackeys are treacherous. The best chance for survival might very well be to sit back and let them fuck up. Last time around he didnt manage to build the wall or repeal the ACA, not because activists stopped him, but because his own allies couldn’t stop tripping over their own feet. Without someone like McConnell to hand him finished packages to rubber stamp, he could go four more years spinning in circles without implementing much of anything.
And peaceful protest is a nonstarter. Hes itching to have people killed, and giving him four years to sift through the general staff to find officers willing to do it will make things much worse in 2028.
Here’s the thing: the economy is picking up steam quickly as it always does when Democrats are in charge. If Trump does nothing (and no pandemic hits) he will cruise to a third term (and yes that’s with this SC.
Eventually anybody would get tired of screaming into the void about equality. At some point you have to priorities your own mental health and protect yourself. It’s completely normal to feel this way.
Peaceful protest is effectively ignored by our corporate controlled media, and there are so many idiots in this country that we call them looters when they do what you are supposed to do when peaceful protests are ignored.
America wants protesters to shut up and die
I totally understand your sentiment, but I also fully understand this sentiment:
I have no goals to be a martyr for a nation that cares nothing about me
Big jilted lover vibes. A nation isnt a person.
Does it matter if your voice is heard if nobody listens?
That’s what conservative minorities say too… just an FYI…
Yes, it matters.
Even if for no other reason than to make the nature of the oppression clear. Not talking about it normalizes it, gives tacit permission for it.
