Excellent point and to the point on Trump supporters.

Trump voters chose ‘the economy' over confronting ‘white supremacy’: Michael Eric Dyson

President Donald Trump regularly made and amplified racist comments during his re-election campaign, for instance calling the coronavirus “kung flu” and retweeting a video of a man yelling “white power.” But Trump still received more votes than any presidential candidate in history except for Joe Biden.

In a new interview, longtime civil rights advocate and academic Michael Eric Dyson said the 74.2 million Trump voters deserve “dignity and respect” but are nonetheless complicit in a “racist system” since they were aware of Trump’s penchant for inciting bigotry. Instead, Trump voters chose a candidate they thought was “better for the economy” over one who would address “white supremacy,” Dyson said.

“It is important for us to understand, we don't have to demonize all the folks on the other side,” says Dyson, who is Black. “But we have to say, ‘Come on, y'all. You know what you were doing, you know what he was about? So for you to say, ‘Oh, I'm not interested in that — he’s a political elephant. I took the part of lower taxes, I took the part of better for the economy.’”

“But what you're saying is: ‘Too bad that in the process of me getting that, you have to deal with racism, you have to deal with white nationalism,” adds Dyson, a professor of sociology at Georgetown University and author of more than 20 books, most recently the essay collection “Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America.”


Influencers with Andy Serwer: Michael Eric Dyson
In this episode of Influencers, Andy is joined by 'Long Time Coming' author, MIchael Eric Dyson for a discussion about race in America and what we as a society can do to address issues of inequality.
“Sorry, but that's what it is,” he adds. “At that level, you've got to say, ‘Come on Americans, we got to deal with the consequences of that. And your complicity in the system, whether you are intentionally racist or not, you benefit from that racist system.” :arrow: :arrow: :arrow: :arrow:

I expect Biden to not remember anything when the FBI start interrogating him.

Cunt Trump and the cunt Republican Party who hate democracy got fucked one more time in the ass. These despicable motherfuckers have reached new lows in wanting to destroy the constitution and democracy and instead become another racist fascist system of government and country. These cunts who signed on to this lawsuit should all be charged with treason, tried and shot upon conviction. :twisted:

Last-ditch effort to throw election to Trump quashed by Supreme Court

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday rejected a lawsuit brought by the state of Texas that sought to overturn the results of the presidential election by invalidating millions of votes in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin.

The lawsuit, which was joined by 17 states President Trump won in 2020, asked the court to allow the legislatures in the battleground states where the Trump campaign is contesting the results to appoint new electors. But the court declined to take up the case, delivering what may be the death knell to Trump’s reelection fight.

In a decision issued Friday evening, the court denied the complaint for “lack of standing,” meaning Texas did not succeed in showing that it has a vested interest in the manner in which other states conduct elections.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, filed the Dec. 7 complaint against the states, which had certified Joe Biden as the winner, alleging multiple baseless claims. Those allegations — such as widespread voting irregularities and the unsubstantiated claim that Biden’s lead in those states is statistically improbable, specifically, a less than “one in quadrillion” chance — had already been the basis for numerous unsuccessful state and federal lawsuits.

Several parties filed briefs supporting the complaint, including 18 Republican attorneys general, and Ohio, which filed a brief asking the court to render a ruling but said it does not support either side. Trump filed a motion to intervene on Dec. 9.


More than 120 Republican U.S. House Representatives signed a brief in support of Texas’ case, saying in their brief that “the election of 2020 has been riddled with an unprecedented number of serious allegations of fraud and irregularities.

A judge just struck down Trump's attempt to throw out 221,000 votes in Wisconsin - including votes cast by mail because of the pandemic

President Donald Trump lost yet another election lawsuit Friday, this time in Wisconsin.

The lawsuit sought to invalidate 221,000 votes in Milwaukee and Dane counties, arguing that election laws weren't properly followed in their recounts.

Reserve Judge Stephen Simanek said they properly followed the laws, which permitted more people than usual to vote by mail because of the coronavirus pandemic.
