Donald Trump Faces Backlash Over Rally Locations: 'Sundown Towns' (Barf alert!)
Newsweak ^ | 9/3/24 | Khaleda Rahman

Posted on 09/04/2024 12:08:30 AM PDT by Impala64ssa

Former President Donald Trump is facing backlash for holding rallies in places described as "sundown towns." A TikTok user pointed out a "troubling pattern" in the locations of Trump's recent rallies in a video that has gone viral on social media. It was also shared on X, formerly Twitter, where it amassed millions of views. "Howell, Michigan; La Crosse, Wisconsin; Johnstown, Pennsylvania," the man said in the video. "What do these places have in common? They're all sundown towns." He added: "This is where Donald Trump is choosing to hold his rallies... You got a presidential candidate for the GOP doing a sundown town tour around the country, not looking for political gain. He's f****** rallying the troops." The term "sundown towns" dates back to the segregation era, referring to communities with a wholly white population where Black people were considered unsafe after nightfall. Black people were prevented from living in those communities through discriminatory policies or intimidation and violence. Today, many of these communities with racist histories remain predominantly white. he Trump campaign has been contacted for comment via email. On social media, many shared their belief that the locations of Trump's recent rallies could not be a coincidence. Trump's campaign "is intentionally visiting 'sundown towns' which violated federal law to be 'whites only,'" journalist Jim Stewartson wrote on X. "This isn't a dogwhistle, it's a KKK hood over every single person who supports Donald Trump or the GOP. ENOUGH." "Interesting notice recently that Trump is holding his rallies in sundown towns. This caught my interest when he chose Cullman, Alabama, my Mother in Law's hometown, as one of his 2021 stops for this campaign," Vance wrote. "A sundown town is one that forbade Blacks, by ordinance or otherwise, to live in it.

Tweets and video at link. Hey let's try the Trump-is-a- racist-and-Try-That-In-A-Small-Town-is-a-dogwhistle thingy again. Who knew that the neighborhood in Atlanta where PRes Trump visited that ChickFil A was a sundown town? Harlem and Crotona Park in daBronx were sundown towns also? There were some impressive Trump rallies in those places. Chappaqua, NY where the Clinton's mansion is as well as Tuxedo PK, NY where Whoopi owns a palatial estate were supposedly sundown towns. And how many alleged sundown towns are Dem run s**tholes today? Gotta love how the left is so adept at identifying "Dog whistles". Quite a few of them identify as furries. Makes sense

And until a couple of weeks ago, Newsweak was trying to hide the fact that the guy they were backing for pResident was himself ‘Sundowning’.

And I don’t see Que Mala and Tampon Timmy venturing into conservative areas to hold their fake rallies.... Even in the leftist urban centers where they do have a rally, they have to bus in attendees, or provide the locals with some kind of twerking celebrity rapper to get people to show up.

Sundown Towns?

Geez, these f’ing people, with their little snotty pot shots and smug arrogance. They just sit around and conjure up fear and outrage. Lots of rotted out brains out there.

Notice how they are redirecting the narrative.

Sundowning on Biden to now sundown towns for Trump.

Almost seems like a CCP propagandist bot on TikTok and X. This little rally cry was supposed to be used with Biden running as President. Will it still be useful? Well, they’re trying it anyway.

Using old and ancient irrelevant terms to today. I am old and have never heard of “sundown towns.” I recall sayings like they roll up the sidewalks at 6 o’clock. It wasn’t racist, it was that the shops all closed for the day by 6. This is a ‘sundown town.’ Had nothing to do with the color of your skin.

Johnstown is a normal middle America town. It doesn't have Klansman or Nazis.

It is a town composed of everyday American people who work for a living.

The libelous remarks which come for the Deep State agents boggle the mind.

Follow up: I just researched this term. Oh my, they have a whole history conjured up about these ‘small towns all across America.’

Seriously, a whole cloth, racist narrative about beloved small town USA.

IMHO, part of it is the narrative that people should be forced into larger cities run by Dims and with more control over people’s transportation and such.

KKK hoods? When, exactly was the last time these were considered sundown towns? These people are really sick.

This actually elevates my confidence to its highest level yet that Trump will be our next president. If they are resorting to this level of desperation they know Commiela is TOAST.

agree. Sundown towns is BS. I live 10 miles East of Nashville in a town named after Andrew Jackson’s huge cotton plantation. Darn, funny as more Blacks live here and are welcome. Yes. We like them. So are we a sundown town?

What she’s saying at her deepest level is that she wants NOWHERE there to be white people because anyone white is inherently racist.
