If Trump were to win this election, with this performance, combined with EVERYTHING ELSE….. the biggest takeaway would be that America is shockingly racist and sexist. This became absurd a long time ago. Now it’s….. I don’t even have a word.

A black man won and was re-elected in a race most people thought he’d lose. And if he could have run in 2016, he’d have won again. Black men and women are elected all the time, as well as women in general.

People really translate Hillary losing into America being sexist but god she was truly reviled. They weren’t sexist, they were Hillaryist

Jesus Christ look at his fucking makeup.  This looks worse than the Cornyn picture.  Whoever is doing this must truly hate him.

 

Didn't he say that he doesn't himself because he doesn't trust anyone else to get it right?

People care a fuckload about money.  They really think Trump is better for their wallet.  Putting his signature on all those stimulus checks was smart.  
Also those people are dumb as a box of rocks, because unless you’re rich he isn’t helping you.  

There’s no way 45% of the country is that racist / sexist.

Since we're bitching about the media, this one is bullshit too. It refers to Harris questioning his "mental acuity." First, when Biden had his debate issues, the headlines were about his competency or whether he was "unfit" for office, the term "mental acuity" is much more benign. Second, the media itself was asking the questions about Biden's competency, this places the questions on his opponent, which is easy to brush off as just campaign rhetoric. Just because 70M people like his idiocy doesn't make it right, the media should be hammering him for being a complete idiot whose mush brain is far worse than any time over the last 9 years.

Yup, next monday gonna swing by and pick up my senior citizen parents and aunts, and we're gonna go down and vote for Kamala together and then grab lunch. I don't know why everybody doesn't do early voting, it's so much better than waiting till election day. No lines, no dipshits trying to make everyone tense, no pressure. The most easy way you can vote. Plus, you look straight up badass with an "I VOTED" sticker weeks before everyone else.

I wish I could believe this, but honestly everything I've seen the past 8 years brings to only this conclusion. Even if it's ingrained, it's there.

I’m a brown dude who visits OK and some outposts in TX a few times a year with my green eyed blonde wife.  We are always blown away by how hospitable people are.  They’re scared of the boogeyman that doesn’t exist.  The propaganda works.  There is no way that % of the country is virulent racist/sexists - as Red described above.

Oh I fully believe that at least 45% of the country is racist/sexist. Prior to 2016 it was much more subtle or just not said in mixed company because there was still some shame involved, but the 2016 election gave them the green light to be far more vocal. In Oklahoma, people sometimes comment on how "nice" people are, and you'll hear plenty of stories in Tulsa and OKC especially that gay people aren't openly harassed very often and you won't hear a lot of people yelling at Mexican's to "speak English" but the vast majority of people who live here harbor that hate and vote accordingly. At best, some of the 45% aren't racist/sexist but are okay electing those who are which is just as bad in my opinion.

Actually yes.  Saying 45% of the country is racist / sexist discounts how many people really are fooled into thinking Trump is better for their wallets.  Theres a reason Kamala doesn’t just run on ‘all these people are deplorable’ as much as I would enjoy that.

We are not doing this again. Stop saying 45% to the country. It’s 45% or so of the voting population, so like 30% of the country

Kamala doesn't run on that shit because she's a black/indian woman who would be completely destroyed for saying that because the country is so super racist.

What you're experiencing is the last vestiges of what I would call...habit. Texas always prided itself on being friendly, open, welcoming people. You cant rub that out of everyone's subconscious in just one generation, but we're trying really hard to do such. OK is probably similar. And just becuase they smile to your face, possibly through their teeth, doesn't mean they aren't resenting your brown money'd ass with a hot fucking wife they should be theirs, and shaking their head that the world has gone mad.

You're making the mistake of thinking that these people, who are fundamentally corwards, would spit in your face and wear their distate for all to see. But they won't becuase they're cowards. They don't have the balls to show you what they think of you to your face. They closest they can get is how they vote and waving a Trump flag around becuase it offers JUUUUST enough of a veneer of plausible deniability.

And I'd like to point out that you saying propoganda works means...they believe the boogeyman. That's tacit agreement that they're racist and sexist. Just because they're also pussies who revert to the habit of being cordial doesn't mean they're good people. Evangelicals say they do their horrible virulent shit in the name of God. Do you believe that too?

I'm not sure what makes you think that the demographics of virulent racist would be somehow different for the non-voting portion of the country. If anything, it might be way fucking worse. 45% seems fine.

I mean 30% would be tens of millions...come on man, we know you can can't to tens of millions just from personal experience.

I had to walk into my meeting, but the Bloomberg/ECC interview was getting wild when I took out my earbuds. He was busy telling Bloomberg‘S EIC that he had been “wrong” his whole career about tariffs.

One of the main pro-Trump field operations has not raised as much money as it set out to, per new campaign-finance filings. The super PAC Turnout for America aimed to raise $45 million for a ground game, but it raised only $18.5 million through the end of September. The group was set up by allies of Senator JD Vance of Ohio.

As I got older, I found more White people who will exhibit microaggressions towards myself and other Blacks/Latinos while simultaneously having Black Lives Matter and LULAC/Cesar Chavez posters hanging up in their offices.

Tens of millions, or 90 million, would be 30%.

Not complicated:

People think that virtue-signaling thus gives them carte blanche to be shitty.

It's the more refined version of someone being racist as shit and then saying "but I can't be racist, I have black friends."

There's some of that, but also plenty of people who genuinetly respect the dark skinned minority that made it to the board room or otherwise succeeded, but use it as evidence that institutional racism doesn't exist. If this guy made it, it just proves that the rest of "them," you know those on the north side, are just lazy and predisposed to being criminals/hoodlums/thugs/etc. In my experience, there's far more of that going on in Oklahoma. The "I have a Black friend/co-worker" form of racism.

This completely nails it.  I guess I’m going with being prejudiced isn’t racist.  But I’m being convinced by you assholes.
