In not on X so can’t comment on that, but there was an interesting/insightful feature about black males turning to Trump because he gets stuff done, and if he does his ‘brashness’ is excused. One guy made the point, and he seemed to have agreement around him, that what liberals call ‘toxic masculinity’ is just simply masculinity and the black community appear to want such characteristic to the fore. And yes the focus of the interviews was blacks so no gammonising possible on this occasion.Originally posted by SithHappens View PostInteresting that opinion polls still seem to have Harris ahead, but on X there are regularly posts claiming trump has moved significantly ahead.
Wonder why X seems to have a trump bias

I think the suggestion is (Reuters) that about one in four young black men are turning to Trump. All that suggests is that 75% aren’t and that foolishness transcends race and colour.Originally posted by Andy_Faber View PostIn not on X so can’t comment on that, but there was an interesting/insightful feature about black males turning to Trump because he gets stuff done, and if he does his ‘brashness’ is excused.

Or maybe those ‘fools’ see something that you don’t. Btw don’t you think dismissing a massive cohort that doesn’t share your view as ‘fools’ as a bit Trumpist?Originally posted by ramAnag View PostI think the suggestion is (Reuters) that about one in four young black men are turning to Trump.

Well if people who believe stuff that patently isn't true or factual (that the Democrats are controlling the weather and making hurricanes worse for example) or that the Sandy Hook school massacre was a set up to take guns off people never mind ignoring the fact that Trump far from being a "self made" billionaire is in fact a failure at business, who inherited billions from his father and would be far richer today if he'd invested it, than using it to finance his many and varied failed business ventures - what nomenclature would you use? Deluded? Dumb?Originally posted by Andy_Faber View PostOr maybe those ‘fools’ see something that you don’t.

The real issue of course is the fact that politicians like Farage, trump and others know full well these people are stupid and in fact have contempt for them, but are quite happy to use falsehoods and lies to appeal to their base prejudices, to gain power, knowing full well that these people are stupid and are either incapable or too lazy to do the necessary cross referencing to at least understand the facts.
Your beginning to concern me, I thought that whilst your views might be a bit suspect, you could at least recognise that lies. misinformation and deliberate spreading of falsehoods by people who should know better should be called out.
But then, of course your perfectly happy with the ****e a certain poster spreads on here. Mm maybe the objection to RA's labelling these people as fools, is because your one of them?

Is he really his pal?Originally posted by Trickytreesreds View Postso, now we've identified Labours direct interference in US politics, no one will be mentioning Farage again as Trumps pal?
I dunno, when I think of his last visit to 'support' Don, all I can picture is Alan Partridge and his 'Dan' scene.

But most of it occurred before he was an MP.
Now is it par, with a major party sending 100 activists to support one and undermine the other?
Dodgy territory.
If Trump wins, you can be sure he will showing his contempt here. Not that Bidens administration has done us any favours, except play up the Irish
