Let me also say – in addition to them being willfully ignorant and blind to what is obvious about Trump I’m tempted to also include the “House Negro” mentality to the list of reasons for why ANY Blacks would support such a vile and racist creature. We do know that Blacks of THAT nature have been around since slavery.

I’m just not sure it actually applies here(?)

“As for the black support I still don’t understand that. My vote was ignorance.”

Yep…ignorance. And not just ignorance I might add. But willful ignorance.

And willfully ignoring the obvious.

You make a good point. They like what he stands for more than they like him.

As for the black support I still don’t understand that. My vote was ignorance.

And I would posit that most of Trump voters are the kind of folks who would vote for Fred Flintstone as long as Flintstone is a rich, old, white guy who struts about pretending to be an alpha strongman and promising to restore America (meaning THEM) back to it’s (their) good ol’ glory days. The days of economic and political White power and white dominance.

That’s what most of his supporters are expecting him to deliver.

“White people want to stop the Mexicans from coming in and black people are stupid or else want to be like the whites and go along with it all.”- BD

I’m in agreement with BD and I think you can add even more to that list…so I voted “It’s a combination of things.”

But yes, it begins with ignorance and white power/racism.
