Because Democrats don't give a shit about working class people, and use marginalized people as tokens. "You'll vote for us because Republicans actively hate you." Seriously the amount of contempt Democrats seem to have for their own base is alarming.

So Latino voters vote on other things, like abortion. Being mostly Catholic this tends to split that group up. Moreso because the DNC refuses to support down ballot Democrats that don't go hard for abortion.

It was 100% white supremacy, and saying 'well, Black people did it too' is a magat talking point.

The fact that latinos helped greatly, does not make it any less motivated by white supremacy, except from an American white racist's standpoint. Plenty of people not considered white by American white supremacists still consider themselves white, especially in central and South America.

I'll say: it really seems like that call is coming from inside the house. Lots of former conservatives can get by in leftist spaces by just not being a conservative when asked about their opinions. If you can laugh at who you used to be you can absolutely be a reformed conservative. Maybe you have to be a few years removed from who you used to be but I've seen it, I know people who have gone through exactly that and they're as left as anyone now. Mostly because being a leftist means engaging with and being in the normal world.

But if you're in a conservative environment even the smallest dissent can be seen as fully treasonous. It spirals into hysteria and we see how conservatives have to live in an alternate reality to stay in the in-group.

Half was ok with turd soup as long as liberals got turd soup too. Owning the libs was priority. The other half thought they were ordering turd soup for the others and not them, and then were surprised when everyone gets turd soup.

It's hard to feel sympathy for Trump voters in general, but certainly there are some specific Trump voters who might deserve sympathy.

Just as some people are raised racist, homophobic, etc. but change their tune once they actually meet some POC, LGBT people, etc., there will be people out there who have just absorbed general vibes of "Republicans = good economy, Democrats = bad economy" from everyone in their lives and never experienced anything that made them question it. Some people are well-intentioned, but... really dumb and oblivious.

I try to feel sympathy when I can. Like 90% of my generation was raised to believe homosexuality was immoral and gay marriage was wrong and that was how I felt. That changed when I grew up and I've spent 30 years fighting for gay rights.

But the reason I don't feel sympathy in this case is that Trump represents NOTHING about how Southern Conservative Christians were raising their kids. He's the living embodiment of everything the church claims to be against. He's a New York elitist pedophile billionaire the "regular hard-working folk" should despise. There's nothing redeeming about him AT ALL.

I get the impression he's torn on abortion laws - because he gets an erection thinking about killing innocent babies but doesn't like the idea of women having ownership of their own bodies.

We need justice to heal. If we don’t get justice for these last ten years the good parts of this country will never trust it again. Would you rather republicans feel less offended or would you rather those that actually make up the bulk of this countries economy feel as if their time on this planet is useful? I’m tired of my side throwing me out like fucking trash because an ugly ogre of a right winger is crying because vaccines are expected of them and they don't wanna.

Colbert doesnt speak to Mexicans confirmed. Seems like he sticks to English speaking people. I am surrounded by non english speakers as a half filipino. I know so many mexicans that love trump. I dont believe Colbert sympathizes with them either but I fear thats out of ignorance. I dont like it when people speak like Colbert did here because it lacks necessary nuance but im unaware of the context here, but if this is colberts most nuanced and real take then I pity him the same I pity the working class Filipino and Mexican and Black and all other kinds of Americans that voted for Trump. Its the same ignorance, but supposedly Colbert should know a bit more about empathy with propaganda on the poor persons mind.

Frederick Douglas was an escaped slave who fought for Abolition.

Back in 1860 he had a choice. He could back the Abolition candidate, who was almost certain to lose, or to back Abe Lincoln. Lincoln had said that saving the Union was more important then ending slavery.

Douglas decided it was smarter to help Lincoln win and get a seat at the table, than to lose and be shut out.

Did I mention that Douglas had actually been a slave?
