The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

HOW COME Racist America voted - twice - for scary brown Obama?

I have tried to swear off responding to you, as it just creates more idiotic responses. But the temptation is too strong on this one.

It was Obama winning that got the lazy racists off their butts and into the voting booth. McCain lost because of the racists laziness. Romney lost because he's not really a racist and wasn't enough to fully motivate the racists (and the economy was too good by then - hard to overcome the economy).

It took an actual, full-throated, unashamed racist like Trump to finally get the racist vote going. Running against Hillary! helped, too, as it brought in the few misogynists that weren't also racist. (Trump is also a misogynist, in case you hadn't noticed.)

Trump screwed the pooch in 2020 with his idiotic handling of covid. Without that, he probably wins 2020.

He wins again in 2024 with the trifecta of racists, misogynists, and the economy all on his side.

So now we have to put up with 4 more years of this buffoon.
