Will Trump’s racism strategy pay off in 2020?

You mean the economy- where the majority lies.
I only do this for the elderly leftists of my base (like you) who worship polls. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Woot Woot. Sorry this smack down was past your bed time.

Haha, past my bedtime...old man, please. : )

Trump’s approval rating, by average, is the lowest in history. 9 points below the previous president that you hate. I know that makes your blood boil. LOL.

You’re entitled to your opinion. America disagrees.
How is it racist? If I tell a white French immigrant to "go back where he came from" - it is impossible to construe that as "racist." So in fact there is absolutely zero racial connotation in that statement. The idea that saying something that is not racist when said to a white person is suddenly "racist" when directed at a person of color is not only goofy, but racist on the part of the person who believes that it is. The idea that people of color can't be criticized is, in fact, in and of itself, a racist belief.

Your post is really too ignorant to respond to. I don’t know why I am bothering.

If you tell a black person to go back to Africa, is that not racist, since to color is named? Most would disagree with you.

How is calling something out that a person feels is racist in fact racist? That doesn’t make any sense. You’re doing exactly what you’re accusing others of doing by playing that race card.

What about telling someone who is not an immigrant to go back to the [shithole] country they came from?

Obama “culled the electorate”? Such vague drivel.

Anyway, the bottom line is that we have not seen a modern era presidential candidate like Trump. Not in either party. He goes out of his way to pit groups of people against each other. Fear and loathing is his stock-in-trade. The essence of his political strategy. He intentionally appeals to the worst instincts in people. Telling dozens of despicable lies every day to do so. Horrible for the nation, politically beneficial to Trump - so far at least.

You could choose to just confront that, rather than babbling about Obama or anybody else.
Didn't you read his last sentence? He's not going to waste any more time on you. That's the old hit and run strategy. SAD. :}

It's rude, but is in not in any way "racial." Even when speaking to an African, the idea that telling them to "go back" is "racist" is patently absurd (unless you are, for instance, telling ALL African immigrants to "go back").

This idea that we can't criticize or malign people of color without being "racist" is, in itself, a racist notion. If they truly are our equal, then we shouldn't have to walk on rhetorical eggshells every time we address them.

If you make the sweeping statement that ALL Africans should "go back" to Africa, that could (easily) be construed as a "racist" comment because it is. Telling one particular African to "go back" because you believe they are doing harm to our nation by being here is simply not a racist comment. Unless telling a white immigrant you don't agree with to "go back" is a "racist" statement, then saying the same thing to a person of color cannot be, in and of itself, a racist comment. The idea that something that is not racist when said to a caucasian becomes "racist" when said to a person of color is absurd.

Here’s an excellent analysis of the key states...

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/19/upshot/trump-electoral-college-edge-.html

We already have minority rule in the USA - Trump got trounced by 3 million votes but he’s president. But the bottom line of Trump’s racism strategy is that he could get trounced by a much larger margin and still squeak out an electoral win. Trump’s clear strategy is cleaving people along racial lines and getting all his racist rabble to the polls.

It just might work, for Trump. The damage to the nation could be irreparable, but Trump obviously doesn’t give a damn about that.
There are more of us than them so the RNC is already using Putin/Russia's playbook to sow dissension and depress turnout. Can you say undermine our democracy, buckies? I knew you could and that's what Trump does every day. It's what Republicans do every day and it's what Putin/Russia does every day.

The key to defeating Trump is to get everyone of us to vote. One help would be to use the parental controls of your cranky uncles and parents and set their TVs so they can't get FoxNews.

A columnist in my daily rag wrote "Send Trump back to Russia." Trump would finally get his Trump Tower Moscow and Putin would protect him from extradition. That would be a bea-u-ti-ful deal for Trump.

This isn’t about whether they can be criticized. It is about whether they should be criticized in terms that can only be understood as racial ... again, if he had said the same thing to a U.S.-born white person, the comment wouldn’t have been comprehensible, because it relies on the assumption that non-whites don’t belong here (or belong here only on whites’ terms).

Treating a Black person born in the U.S. as an African is racist. Trump’s comments are in fact listed by the EEOC as a textbook example of racial slurs.

You know you're lying about Trump being a racist by constantly misquoting him. If you didn't know that, you wouldn't know that you need to misquote him. Which is why you do it

The only “idea” Trump has is divisiveness - fomenting fear and loathing to rile up his dupes for election time.
You call people racists, xenophobes, misogynists, homophobes and every other name in the book, then you make up this standard about being against divisiveness. You're pathetically obvious what you're doing.

People are tired of it. Which is why Donald J Trump is your President. You made him President with your stupid lying crap. Congratulations.

And being unable to stop, you're pushing him to re-election. Election day and your subsequent melt down is going to be hilarious

I think we could vote today. I believe everyone already knows who they are voting for. At least 95%+. You’re either on board for the fear and hate campaign of trump or you’re against it. Even third party people know they will throw out their votes already. This country has never been this polarized, people know which way they are going.
Fear and hate is the ... Republican ... strategy. Leftists, your party drink is kool-aid, and you're drinking it by the gallon
