I didn't even connect the dots with his skin colour damn wtff. I hope every black American turns against him for this. Show trump how smart they really are...

This was my take from this as well.

I mean, it's possible he could have been talking about politicians or government people or something.... But he certainly wasn't. He could have, he did not.

It's only vague enough to convince those living in a trough of disillusionment to be convinced that he wasn't blatantly being racist here.

Maybe Republicans would be a reasonable take, although I don't know anything about this guy to say he's smart, but Republicans tend to be "not quite so good."

Obviously, this is not what Trump meant, but also he was a Democrat before he realized how easy Republicans were to dupe, so he is aware of this fact.

Thank you for explaining it. I have been confused about this for hours. I thought he was talking about congress members. I don't think I could have ever figured it out.

You joke but literally they hire people to be behind him. Usually it is attractive women, POC, working class appearing folk or elderly women. The hard hats probably fit wherever he was speaking trying to claim he's talking to the working class or something

Probably a rally at a construction business or something similar.

Yeah he "might have been".

did trump ever apologize for anything?

No but he doubled down and said they should be executed anyway and strangely no one cared...

That rancid walking chunk of miskept afterbirth has been skating along his entire life doing things 100x more horrible than any normal citizen can get away with and I am so fuckdamn tired of it.

He needs to be imprisoned for life with no parole and a 24/7 webcam feed so we can mock him till he dies alone in his own steaming shit of old age.

I am not offering an excuse but I'd like to explore a reason. One of many that led to Dolt45's popularity.

He makes stupid people feel justified, and there is no shortage of stupid people.

Additionally, grifters flock to crowds of stupid people, and encourage the stupidity as it makes for riper pickings.

Tribalism makes them feel all warm and good and justified and almost none of them question the good feeling. I mean, they feel like a group now, they got branding and songs and little ear tampon rituals.

We SORELY miss the necessity of ritual in our daily life and for some reason he gives his people rituals they like to participate in and he tells them they are all the good boys and girls and all the bad people that have been mean to them will get bopped on the nose.

It's very popular.

Hot Take That Will Make You Downvote Despite Agreeing with the First 80%: A large part of this is due to the demonization of religion by the left, and this has been going on for hundreds of years.

Humans have a religion shaped hole in them that can be filled with any number of things, but it is baked into our psyches and I don't think we are complete without participation in group shared values rituals.

Funny thing: Sports events hit all the exact same notes so before you ratheists come and reeeee at me, no part of anything I have written is dependent on the existence of a supernatural entity.

You can say the same thing about almost any group of people. But you shouldn't.
