HOW MANY PROFILES ARE WE GOING TO READ ABOUT IDIOT TRUMP SUPPORTERS DOUBLING DOWN ON SELF-SABOTAGING WHITENESS?



.............

Gawk at the follow passage, and tell me how you can read it and not be completely spellbound by it.

Judy Banks, a 70-year-old struggling to get by, said she voted for Trump because “he was talking about getting rid of those illegals.” But Banks now finds herself shocked that he also has his sights on funds for the Labor Department’s Senior Community Service Employment Program, which is her lifeline. It pays senior citizens a minimum wage to hold public service jobs. “This program makes sense,” said Banks, who was placed by the program into a job as a receptionist for a senior nutrition program. Banks said she depends on the job to make ends meet, and for an excuse to get out of the house.

“If I lose this job,” she said, “I’ll sit home and die.”

Yet she said she might still vote for Trump in 2020

If Trump does what he says he’s going to do, she knows she’ll have nothing to live for and might even die. But she still would vote for him — even if that vote came from the fucking grave. Keeping “those illegals” out and retaining the value of Whiteness in America is so important to her that she’d choose that over her own life.

And perhaps quotes like that articulate the true value of these endless and mind-numbing profiles. It’s not for us to be sympathetic to them, or to determine how to reach them, but for us to finally collectively realize that they just can’t be reached. That we’re operating with different currencies, and concepts like “logic” and “literally saving your own fucking ass” are valueless to them. That they’d rather see us gone or dead (or both) than themselves alive.

So yes, let’s continue to read about and study them. Not to figure out how to sway them, but to squash any inkling or thought of feeling bad for them.

1. 97% of Trump voters will stick with him no matter what

[Ilsa]

2. So, his poor supporters will die off.

I feel bad for people who lack intellectual capability to analyze what's going on, and end up voting for those who do not have their best interests at heart. But given that this is about her bigotry, all I can say is, "That's too bad. Your hate has killed you."

More sadly, people who opposed 45 with everything they've got will die off too.

[Bettie]

3. WTF?

I have no sympathy for this woman and people like her.

She willfully, with eyes wide open, chooses what she knows will directly harm her, but as long as it causes greater harm to those she believes are 'beneath' her, she's good with it and will actively choose it again.

I simply do not understand this mindset.

4. Articles like that one from the NYT only enrage me now.

Instead of reporting, these journalists need to step up and start questioning these voters' idiocy and racism. Where is the question "Why is his stance on immigration more important to you than his willingness to end your livelihood and your life?" Where is the question "Do you know that "Obamaphones" is racist dog whistle language for a program started by George W. Bush and is not funded by tax dollars from working people?" More importantly, where is the question "Why are you an ignorant, racist piece of shit?"

Show me a news/media outlet willing to ask these sorts of questions so I can subscribe to someone who is actually interested in reporting on and improving our country.

6. Love to hear the rationalizations to your questions.

Why journalists are afraid of going there is mystifying to me.

[LonePirate]

10. Maybe journalists assume all of his voters are racists and simply want them on record being racist.

[nocalflea]

12. I don't know about that , but I do know the questions you raise would make a more compelling story.

A good journalist , I think would understand this. Why not take advantage of the opportunity rather than settling for the same old , same old ?

[JHan]

5. Yes, the narratives continue while we get lectured for calling the shit out for what it is..

We can talk about Russia, and I've done a fair share of linking articles about FSB shenanigans here, and Comey and RWNJ swiftboating of our candidates, but at the end of the day millions voted to fuck other people over, and now don't care they may get fucked over too so long as other people get fucked over more than they do. These people are who my black ass must reach out to..

And that is as fucked up as it can possibly get.

I might as well say.."you is smart, you is important, you is confused. Let my black ass lead you to the light"

No.

[lunasun]

7. Her life was so bad with illegals I am sure the job loss is worth it right?

[HAB911]

8. those of us who empathize, but who do not sympathize

tough shitski

[Coventina]

9. Thank you for posting this! I've posted several times about this since the election

People still refuse to believe it.

[progressoid]

11. Sadly, it is going to take a lot more stories to break through their bubble of idiocy.

[Blue_Tires]

13. +1000

I'm getting sick of this shit too, personally... I've been reading this same goddamned story for 20+ years and it never changes
