    Hah, the article was removed https://nypost.com/2024/07/14/us-news/forbes-removes-column-that-asks-if-trump-surviving-shooting-will-appeal-to-black-voters/

    The author mentioned Trump attempted to sway black voters after he was indicted on various criminal charges and his mugshot was taken in one of his cases last year.

    “Hopefully, being shot doesn’t become a similarly problematic strategy to link Trump with an experience that far too many (not all) Black people have,” part of the column reads.

    Seems like it was supposed to be sorta the opposite of what it ended up being.

                  Sure, but someone might want more information and not want to give revenue to the Murdochs. Why do you care if I provided people an alternate way to get that information?

        I included the name to call them out because they have a bad take and their one-line bio describes a DEI expert. Including the name was not in relation to any assumption in their race or anything else for that matter. But i appreciate the response since i can see how people might be reading between the lines.

          For whom? Christofascists can laugh about it for a while, I guess. Less funny when they find out they’re condemning their children to resource wars under a fascist dictatorship on an increasingly inhabitable planet.

            For me. The thing is that Trump winning the election isn’t a surprising development, it’s years of democrats not knowing what the hell they are doing and going with a “holier than thou” approach, dismissing anyone who doesn’t immediately vote the same way they do.

        “Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”

        Trump is horrible for second amendment rights.

      Not a lot, but more than you’d think. Something on the order of 15-30% of black voters support him, from my memory.

        Biden is winning black voters 64% to 13% in this poll that has a crazy amount of Kennedy voters https://www.pewresearch.org/politics/2024/07/11/amid-doubts-about-bidens-mental-sharpness-trump-leads-presidential-race/

        But that’s bad because he won 87% to 12% in 2020.

          Yes, Biden is winning black voters. But considering Trump’s entire vibe of catering to white supremacists, it’s supposing he has much support at all.

            I wasn’t arguing. Just bringing the relevant polling to the table. 30% black support would be a landslide election for a Republican. 13% when he won 12% in 2020 doesn’t even seem worth remarking upon. So I think that’s an important distinction.

      Trump has pretended that his arrest and mugshot increased his support from black electors (implying that it made them relate to him from sharing an experience far too common for them) so it wouldn’t be surprising he would do the same because he got shot (again, considering statistics)

        I was pretty certain this would be what the article was about, wondering if a racist might respond to events with racism. Headline just went way too hard on exploiting rage for clicks.

      Questioning if trump would try to use it to appeal to Black voters…

      Apparently everyone is taking it to mean it would work and calling the author racist?

      But there’s a very good chance trump does try this. Because he is racist.

      It concerning so many people are confused

    That’s the point.

    That’s the author’s entire point.
