      He went because his strategy is to peel off any low-info black voters he can.

      If you go into a community that overwhelmingly hates you, you can never do worse than where you started. Notice the handful of presumable plants cheering Trump on in the crowd, too.

      He gets his few talking points in and some “respect” him for reaching out to the community and that’s all he’s after.

          Also he gives idiots like my parents an excuse to maintain their cognitive dissonance. I feel they couldn’t have instilled the decent base values they did while being actual neo-nazis so I’m trying to just hold out hope that they’re just dumbasses.

          I’ve been amazed for decades how trying to live the values my family instilled in me makes me some kind of commie that wants to destroy america.

          Try having them watch the documentary, “The Brainwashing of my Dad.” long shot, but worth trying…
