Yes theone, Trump's popularity is insane, but it is explainable. Look what the last forty years of neoliberalism has done to the USA. The richest 1% Now Own Over 1/3 of US Wealth. Look at the immense social problems this income inequity has caused. Here in Milwaukee, the streets are unsafe, causing many to flee including one of my own brothers. He voted for Trump, and intends to again. There is a perception that both parties are doing nothing, which makes a demagogue like Trump very likable. It brings to mind the old idiom “drastic times call for drastic measures.” And Trump, the demagogue, thrives in this environment. I see in Oakland, California that crime has gotten so bad that the NAACP is calling for a state of emergency, complaining that more cops are needed; and a member of the Oakland city government council wants the governor to call out the national guard. These are liberals desiring this. Force wins out when neither political party has a program to end this nightmare of neoliberalism. The attraction to demagogues like Trump is not confined to only whites. Throughout the last century demagogues of all colors and ethnicities have had success. Here is a mind-blowing stat on African American males in my beloved state of Minnesota. Thirty percent of them voted for Trump in the last election.

How could one who's been accused for the capitol attack to be nip and tuck in the presidential race with Biden?? This is insane!!!
But still, Democrats are not the best friends of AAs.
EVERY Republican candidate (except one!!) vow to support Donald Trump as the party's nominee for president EVEN IF HE'S CONVICTED!
Now think about that for a minute Black people
Right now the latest polls show Joe Biden and Donald Trump neck-and-neck in the race for president..
In other words, white folks continue to see Trump as their cult leader..
Again, think about that shit Black folks..
White folks gone nuts!!!
