(118,622 posts)while another third watched. Populism can be terribly dangerous. Trump foment the racism to become a populist. Some of his voters had voted for Obama. Not a lot. Some. Race had not been the defining factor in their lives lately until Trump came along and put a megaphone to Republicans dog whistle on race. Yes the obama Trump voters suffered from implicite racism. But it is not how they defined themselves. 60 something % of people agreed with BLM after the George Floyd murder at the hands of authorities. Some of those people were Trump voters. I am not saying these people are good, or not racist, I'm saying they may vote Dem again if their cult leader's candidate loses a nomination race because Biden is going to do great things for good jobs and that will bring them back to earth and away from unhinged hate if there only choice is greedy Business Republicans or Biden and good paying jobs. And they might like it. And like Kamala as VP. A learn a thing or two about the danger of cults.
