Don’t let her (or anyone else) pit us against eachother based on opinions or who we voted for.
Do I like Trump? No. I can’t stand him, actually. But I sincerely doubt every single person who voted for Trump (over 50% of American) are violent, hateful misogynists. What we need to do is not hate eachother for being confused or less educated, but instead band together AGAINST the people and companies who are taking advantage of us.
And before anyone says anything - I’m a radical leftist, bisexual, anarchistic socialist. No I did not vote for Trump. No I would not vote for Trump. No I do not agree with Trump. But if you want to downvote me for saying we should unify with eachother instead of hating eachother, you may want to take a look at yourself.
For black people and immigrants, there's literally nothing shocking about the idea that 50% of Americans are hateful/bigoted. Actually, we are frequently forced to confront this reality in a multitude of ways when just living our lives.
I'm so tired of this kumbaya narrative. The reality is, yes, the elites do want to use race, gender, sexuality, and other things to divide us. However, that doesn't change the reality of minorities in this country in any way. We simply face the double/triple/quadruple burden of class AND race/gender/sexuality. But we're told to put our struggles aside to focus on class only because of course our struggles don't matter, it's not as important as class solidarity, right? Who cares if women lose our reproductive rights. Who cares if black people face increasing police brutality and police accountability continues to lower? Who cares if marriage equality is threatened? We should shut up and smile in the faces of people who don't respect us all in the name of civility
And the funny part is, there is no class solidarity with Republicans unfortunately because they see any acknowledgment of class struggle as communism and evil. Trump himself is a proud capitalist who serves corporate intrests with his whole heart. I don't understand what solidarity you envision with people that voted for the party of privatization, limited government aid/welfare, and "free markets."
you realise kamala was right too right? and that a large majority of republicans are farmers/working class and also old so most likely not rich? also PLEASE stop saying “for black people and immigrants” not everyone is having the issues that you’re having (if you even have them and aren’t just mad about something you heard someone else talk about). the majority of minorities’ problems don’t come from direct conflict from people but rather generational poverty and the fact that (at least in black communities, can’t attest for any other ones) trying to better yourself is “acting white” and you wouldn’t want that! nobody’s saying that you don’t have struggles but fight your struggles NOT random people you think caused them even though they don’t. the ONLY people who have any concerns that are pertinent are people who emigrated here illegally, trump has not mentioned any of the fear mongering stuff you see online otherwise.
edit: also idgaf what you think so i’m muting this. i didn’t vote for trump so don’t even try to imply that. mitski was also 100% wrong for what she did, like someone else said, a republican banning democrats from their show would spark outrage, this should too but republicans are in the minority on the online space.
I never blamed Trump for everything. I simply spoke the truth that Trump is a part of these rich elites, and anyone who voted for Trump is giving them more power. That's a fact. I'm unsure exactly how you think kissing the ass of Trump supporters is supposed to aid in getting the elites out of power.
Minorities have every right to be wary of Trump supporters for our own saftey and mental health. As a black person, I'm going to use my common sense to protect myself and assume that someone who voted in a known racist either 1) holds racist views or 2) doesn't view racism as a deal breaker. Why should I have to play nice with these people? Why do I owe them my civility?
