Trump's defeat – and the death throes of the Civil War: How Republicans applied old school racism to new demographics, and lost

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/17/trump-desperate-fight-stop-minority-vote-republicans-racism

A long read, but never truer. Particularly after what has happened since then...

Republicans cheat. Every election. Supression and other tactics are their game.

This time they thought they had done enough of that to win. When they were foiled by the amount of people who wanted to vote Trump out..they claimed fraud...because they can't believe their cheating tactics didn't work. This is because Black people worked hard not to have their vote suppressed.

Projection is their most favorite game to play. Everything they blame others of doing is likely something they are doing.

And yes. Old school racist dog whistles, talking points and fear mongering tactics.


It is rather sad when you see it all together as a whole plan of action.

@JaggedLittlePill Agreed. Republicans, headed by Trump, have tried to move from preventing black people from voting to allowing them to vote, as long as not all of their votes are counted.
