Does anyone have the balls to post the actual numbers? Let's forget comparing. Let's just talk about how many million blacks and how many million Latinos - and for bonus points - how about how many Asians voted for Donald Trump. Is is 7 million blacks? Or more - or less?
Are people really willing to say 10 or 20 million people of color are dumb?
And we pretend we are against racism! Yeah, right. That's a stinky pile of poop.

155m voters, of which 13% were black = 20.1m black voters, of which 10% voted for Trump = 2m black trump voters.
Hispanic would be ~6m, and Asian would be 2.3m.
I don;t think people that voted for Trump are inherently dumb. Untrustworthy, sure. Short-sighted, definitely. Some of them are probably outright dumb.

There was a larger voter turnout this election than any other in history, no? Then itd only make sense the numbers of blacks and Latinos voting republican increases as well. I do agree that the numbers are quite large, in terms of minorities who supported trump.
Frankly, I think we are in a better place with a president who doesnt tweet inflammatory statements daily and didnt campaign on "build that wall" "lock her up" etc. That stuff has a massive negative impact socially (mass shootings, violent protests of all kinds, openly accepted racism in positions of power, etc) and social issues are kind of the meat and potatoes of problems in the United States. Its important to heal internally before we can tackle the bigger issues effectively.
I'm not here to argue that Biden is the hope for humanity and his policies are anything special. I dont feel that way and they're not very progressive considering the things he COULD be openly advocating and pushing for. However, he is giving people, especially minorities/immigrants, more of a chance to heal and live in a society that isnt actively fueled by stereotypes and hateful rhetoric by the leader of the country.

Yes. Anyone who voted for trump is dumb. There is nothing racist about pointing that out.
Why are we talking about this anyway? Oh right someone asked "How exactly was Trump beneficial to the common working man?" To which, you still haven't answered, but instead fell all over yourself to prove that black people voted for trump. Which seems... "odd". Almost like you know the trump movement is full of fucking racists but want to cover up that fact.
This is particularly rich being in this thread, about the attack on the capitol, where a bunch of white supremacist symbols were spotted on people in the crowd.

If you don't know the answer to this, you've chosen not to learn about perspectives that differ from your own. People have been talking about this for over 4 years. How could you miss it?!

Obama has a lot to do with the rise of racism. He still stays silent when people repeat the lie he was the "first black US president." For 12 years he has allowed that lie to stand. He had the chance to wake people up, but has refused to. I think it has been a huge mistake.

Don't pretend to convince people you want to expand your perspective. My friends and family do the exact same thing. It's a game of make believe virtue. You waited 4 years to begin to be curious? That just doesn't seem honest to me.

So why are so few people of color Republican then? Is it because so few are smart or because only a few are so dumb?
In 2020, Trump received the highest percentage of the non-white vote of any Republican presidential candidate in the last 60 years.
7 million blacks voted for Trump in 2020. He got 1 out of 3 Latino votes.
Lol absolutely fake news. This was debunked as soon as people made up the lie

Are people really willing to say 10 or 20 million people of color are dumb.
The bottom quartile of the demographic is more than dumb, they are borderline retarded. any population is going to have a normal distribution of morons, normies and geniuses. The morons of every demographic were Trump voters

Really? Medicare For All isn't a little thing, either is Covid relief for individuals and small businesses, either is the student loan crisis and need for free higher education. This is what the vast majority of Democratic voters and overall US citizens want, why can't Biden deliver?
Why can't Biden do what the people who voted him into office want him to do? So now it's not productive to demand what the voters want? 
Let me remind you, Biden was VP for 8 years, during those 8 years the wealth gap increased to the highest level in over 80 years and the trend still remains in full force. If progressives don't voice their demands, who's going to save the peasants?

VP is possibly the most impotent government job, ever since they stopped having the guy that lost the presidential election being the VP.
VP is only a senate tiebreaker. Meaning that Harris might be the most useful VP in modern history.
EDT: Outside of presidential succession, which is basically moot due to the presidential access to modern medical care.

I literally only voted for Biden because I was absolutely sick and tired of having a president who did absolutely nothing but go on Twitter and talk shit constantly. It's just not professional.

This country is hurtling headfirst to another war with Biden/Harris at the helm, and it's happening faster than I expected.
All the pieces for another world war are falling into place.
And with nobody in the white house to deny the Neocons, well..
What's stopping them?
Nothing.
Good luck.

Didn't Trump tweet an average of every 8 minutes for an entire 12 hour period or something one day?
"Occasionally" is the most absurd characterization of Trump's Twitter use I've ever heard. This alone tells us all we need to know about your perspective. Namely, you are willing to stretch the truth as much as is needed to make your guy look good(or less bad) and unwilling to acknowledge the obvious realities for what they are.
This should be enough to teach anyone that discourse with you is guaranteed to be a fruitless endeavor.
