Twitter Thread Nails Why Trump Supporters Feel the Way They Do About the 2020 Election

There it is again! The ORIGINAL birther story came out when BO was running for Illinois senator in 2004. See the politico article...

The birther movement was started because hillary's primary numbers were falling after BO announced for the democrat ticket. The Penn Strategy Memo which suggested a con for supporting BO was his "lack of American roots" published in The Atlantic. [1]

Even Reggie Love came out against hillary's use of "Muslim" during the primaries in his book, "Power Forward: My Presidential Education." [2]

"The answer lies in Democratic, not Republican politics, and in the bitter, exhausting spring of 2008. At the time, the Democratic presidential primary was slipping away from Hillary Clinton and some of her most passionate supporters grasped for something, anything that would deal a final reversal to Barack Obama." [3] - Politico 04/22/2011

The left birthed the issue and it's only natural that the opposition party picked it up.

Now, answer the question, major... If that pastor was Trump's, how would your political allies in the media have reacted?

Cpl (Join to see) Did you watch the video or just read the bs caption. The things he said in the short clip was no different than what MLK Jr. had ever said. Now perhaps there was more in his speech that wasn’t shown that was controversial but nothing he said was unAmerican. Now I don’t have political allies nor side with any one media source. So let me ask you this. After watching all the racist, homophobic, Islamophobic, Q’Anon rhetoric from pastors that actually supported Trump, would you join Right Wing media in defending that rhetoric?
Yeah. Thought so.

Gaslighting? It's a three minute video. I wouldn't have posted it if I didn't watch and listen to it. He's a self-professed [1] liberation theologist; i.e., marxist [2]. He's attempting to persuade his audience that socialism/marxism has been wrongfully vilified, then disparages all of America as the "land of the greed and home of the slave" comparing his parishioners as the victims and the dispossessed. All of America wasn't slavers, and a bulk of people immigrated to the US AFTER the emancipation. His supposition even excludes the slavers in the US who were black [3].

You’re most welcome, brother.

As have several members here on RP. I cannot tell you how many times I've been replied to with something like: "How can you debate when you use ad hominin attacks you xenophobic, racist, deplorable!?" ;)

"And when you unravel why Trump supporters feel cheated, angry, and engulfed with rage over the 2020 election—it’s not hard to see why. In fact, I think most Americans, except for braindead liberals, would agree."

I am curious - what other word choice would you use to describe that 5-10% of our population? We already know that the following terms are quite alright to name the 40% (or so) on the right: racist, xenophobe, sexist, cheat, liar, extremist, clueless, etc.

No one on the left has any right to ignore what is being said to point out a very weak stance of "Ad hominin attack! Ad hominin attack! Ignore everything here."

Sir, with respect, I don't agree with your words.
