If you vote for Trump as a POC you're not the brightest bulb anyway. He's openly racist lol
But what if you're a POC and a billionaire who believes Trump will make you wealthier?
At least my parents won't vote republican because of homophobia. They're convinced dems will take all their money to give to immigrants and black people and force them to use paper straws...
In all fairness, paper straws are the worst
Never tried one. Never seen them offered anywhere around here, but I also don't each out much. They do seem like a pretty bad idea; I'd just use a reusable straw if I used straws frequently.
Paper straws would work great if they just coated them in plastic. Then they wouldn't disintegrate before you finished your drink.
And if they threw in some radium, we would feel fantastic when our immune systems went into overdrive.
They don't want money to help their own and are fine with Trump being openly racist against blacks? Idk man, make your own conclusions. Don't seem like good people to me.
That's a foregone conclusion for any billionaire.
The incidious persistence of many systems of oppression can often be at least partially attributed to people in the "middle tears" actively participating in the system simply to avoid being the bottom rung...
To some, a candidate that will prop them up at the expense of a different group is a subconscious survival adaptation
So I wouldn't say they're dumb necessarily, just that they've been indoctrinated from childhood into the same system that keeps them down
(I say this as an Asian American that has had to really struggle with the duality of how I treated black and indigenous people in the past, during times when I understood and personally experienced the ill effects of racism. Time when I recognized and accepted that racism exists and claimed it unfair when it happened to me)
