There’s the old one — a distinction not of age alone, but cultural perspective and outlook — that Trump appeals to as he courts white, rural voters and social conservatives.

You know those white folks who created things like the light bulb, the telephone, the airplane, the assembly line, the computer, the internet, the ability to travel in space, the Constitution. You know those little things.

Let’s see, a few decades ago things were running on track and now Americs is slowly becoming a hellhole. I think those white guys were doing just fine.

Piss on the LA Slimes. The argument can be more readily defined as the makers vs the takers.

“largely white audience.” Why should this even be important? Leave it to the LA Slime, the ultimate bastion of objective journalism to make race an issue any time it suits their need to slant the issue. “Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.”

The 60’s radicals Clinton exemplifies were the New America - 40 years ago. Now, they are the overfed, corrupt establishment, ripe to become the victims of a nationalist/libertarian (which they will misname “Fascist”) revolution that will overthrow their decaying globalist/Communist regime.

I think it’s more like those willing to be enslaved vs. those yearning to breathe free.

That hit me, too. But I think that a fair number of Black are awakening to the Media manipulation of the minorities. There are a fair number of Blacks who support Trump; they are part of the America who believes in racial harmony, not the divisiveness of the last 8 years.
