Let's assume for a moment you're right. Donald Trump is racist.
BUT if that's true:
- Why would he sign and support 250M of annual funding for historically black colleges? Why would his administration provide more than $500 million in loans to historically black colleges?
- Why would he create an environment that supported RECORD LOW black unemployment? Why would black American incomes increase 2.6%?
- Why would he support and sign meaningful criminal justice reform, like First Step Act?
Prepare to watch brains explode.
They will, but their downvotes are candy. It means you upset their world view for a moment, so they tried to make you disappear. For some of them, it's the beginning of a red pill. They just need a constant diet of them. We have pedes here that came over from the dark side. We can bring more.
I came over. The cognitive dissonance is pretty bad, tbh, and you have to take responsibility for your past mistakes. Not easy. I, mistakenly, fought hard for the other side. I think the pain of losing friends, and admitting that people you cared about deliberately lied to you is the worst part of it.
What did it for you? Was it a slow waking and realization that you mentally fought tooth and nail to ignore before you finally just went "nope.. done. Can't ignore anymore" or was there a singular event or particular series of close events that made you do a 180 rather abruptly?
Not OP, but what WILL do it is if Trump gets 30% of the black vote in 2020. I think this alone is going to red pill so many Americand that Dems will never get a vote unless Reps get complacent which is easy to do.
The reason for this is, this one statistic will reveal that what's happening in real life is not anything the news is telling you. Once you realize the news is fake, you have to do the research yourself or become ignorant and not care knowing the headlines are trash.
My redpill was a long time coming, the straw that broke the camel's back was the fake news during Obama's presidency and Ron Paul's campaign. Its when I first really entered the rabbit hole. Obama running as Mr Peace President but then gets into several wars and when Ron Paul was contending, MSM censored him, falsely vilified him, and even misreported on his standing several times. The same "unelectable" narrative they used on Bernie in 2016.
So we just need one major stat to counter the fake news on "Trump/America is Racist." What better way to break their cognitive dissonance than having minorities voting for the "most racist white supremacist Nazi sympathizing Orange man in the world."
The only counter I see is if more men than women vote for him, then they might go to "Patriarchal Society" narrative. However, according to their current rules (always incoherently subject to change) being black ranks higher on the intersectionality totem pole than women.
The most dangerous narrative as I see it today is believing in the "Big Switch" that racist Dems somehow became Republicans. Because to understand this, takes A LOT of effort. Its confusing as hell and we need to start building a rebuttal that's quick and powerful.
the democrats all campaigned against and voted against the civil rights act.
after it passed anyway, only 1 democrat senator, Strom Thurmond, and 1 democrat representative switched to the republican party.
sauce: this is a matter of public record.
edit: please feel free to build on this, but it's already quick and powerful.
It’s nice to believe that, but Trump won’t get 30% or the black vote. I mean I wish but...
I decided to fight, not physically, but online and in the discussions I had all over the internet. I would come across little pieces of information that I couldn't refute. I'd try to incorporate them into my belief system, but eventually, it became impossible. I came over from watching Bernie Sanders, and what happened there. Still, the thing that really did it, were all the little 'red pills', I guess they call them, that added up over time. I've, always, believed in the truth, admitting when you were wrong, etc. It turns out, if you do that, eventually it all adds up. I am, and always have been, a strong supporter of freedom of speech and expression. I think, too, that when I realized that wasn't the domain of the Left, it was impossible for me to stay with it.
This is what courage ultimately is --being scared but doing anyway.
The only thing worse than being betrayed by others is betraying yourself.
At least you free now. Scorned by some? Yes. Love by others? Believe it; after all, you left a group of lying, conniving, twisted, and sick people and now you're with people, the best people really, that believe in truth, freedom, and having fun. Known colloquially here as: Winners.
You don't understand their ideology, OP.
They believe that 1) there should be no borders and that 2) everyone should receive welfare from the government.
With these premises, Trump is undeniably racist. Because their vision is for an unlimited numbers of Africans to be welcomed and maintained in the West: any politician who limits immigration is racist because he doesn't want to share the wealth.
Ask them a better question: if 200 millions of black african men want to come to the US to be maintained on taxpayer money, what is their position? Ask them this, let's see what they say.
Last week on AskRedditards' fabricated "Ur Republikan, wHy Are NT U voating 4 DRUMPF" post, almost all the top comments had "his 'fine people' quote, calling Nazi's fine people, is the first thing I noticed as Orange Man Bad...", And then they added a chopped and edited NBC production of the speech.
So I baited them into a discussion by saying "yeah, except in that video, NBC conveniently omits the part where he CONDEMNS NAZIS AND WHITE NATIONALIST COMPLETELY". To which some retard replies "uh yeah?! juz read duh trans scripts....REEEEE".
So I went into the transcript link he gave me and found the part a little further past the original 'fine people' quote, you know, the part the media edits out, and find in plain English Trump condemning Nazi's and White Nationalists.
No rebuttal or anything, just a shower of downvotes. You know you've got them when all they do is downvote you without saying another word. Also see: my post yesterday highlighting me putting the truth behind BLM on blast. Downvotes. Nothing else.
Living in their minds, rent free
Can confirm. Besides converting hardcore anti-liberty minded people, there are also those who know that something is wrong, they just don't have the support or the information to pin it down. When I was a teenager, I knew that something was wrong with many positions, attitudes, and arguments of what I later understood to be leftists, but it just seemed so "normal" to me because of the hold it has on media and schools.
