Just when you thought you had seen it all, you realize that you have not seen anything yet!  It is quite amazing to see and hear how clueless some folks are about the very people they are prepared to vote into office and give total control over their lives.  To actually see and hear people proudly say they would prefer a dictator over a democratic leader is alarming, to say the least. 

Somehow, America has an abundance of uneducated people who have no desire at all to be educated.  When I hear a White Trump supporter say Trump doesn’t lie, I wonder where has this person been for the last eight years?  And where are these people getting their news from?  Even more shocking is a Black person stating that they like Trump policies, so what’s the problem?  Policies like police prosecution immunity, or stop and frisk?  Policies Black people should love, right?   Many are quick to say that they had more money when Trump was in office, and prices were not high like they are now.  These folks never consider all of the other things that occurred during Trump’s presidency.  None of these Trump supporters, Black or White, seem to know anything about who Trump is or what he stands for.  They just repeat what they have heard someone else say. 

Some Blacks seem to think that they will get reparations by not voting, by trying to bring the democratic party to its knees, by making the democratic party lose the 2024 election.  It is madness, in my opinion, to think that giving power to the republicans will get reparations for Black folks.  These poor souls are being led astray by other Blacks who are either very sinister people or very dumb people.  They are also listening to folks telling them that the democratic party has done nothing for Blacks!  What?  I guess they don't know why they have civil rights, voting rights, fair housing, equal employment opportunities, environmental agencies, affordable healthcare, and much more!  These clueless people are willing to give all that away because . . . somebody convinced them that the dems have done nothing for them.  I cannot help but say it . . . idiots! 

Then there are those who are proud to not vote at all.  They proudly refer to it as "voting the couch".  What a pathetic bunch, in my opinion.  Some of these "couch" voters think they are really doing something.  They are too clueless to realize that they have the power to put into office people who might help them in their causes.  Instead, they just claim nobody is doing anything for them, while they do nothing for themselves.  They are too lazy and stubborn to educate themselves on what is really going on and what is at stake in this 2024 election.  They just whine and wallow on their couch.  Anyone that encourages you not to vote is either an idiot or deliberate deceiver.

I am just as amazed at why Latinos would support someone like Mr. Trump.  But I guess those who have entered the country legally, look down on those who are trying to enter illegally or as asylum seekers.  They seem to have fallen for the lie that democrats want open borders.  Even some Blacks are using the border as a reason to abandon democrats.  If they did a little research, they would know that VP Harris was never the border czar, and that things have gotten better at the border.  The border is not "open" as some on the right would have people believe. 

Some Asians supported Trump in the past, but I did not see anything recent about Asians supporting Trump.  Smart people.

As for me, I will be voting for the party that will fight to keep my civil rights in tact, and my voting rights.  I will be voting for the only party that has put into place policies that help me and my people live a decent life in this country.  I will not abandon that party because I have not received reparations.  I will not abandon that party because of its stance on abortion or gay rights.  I would rather support a party that is for all people, than a party that is only for certain people.
