Where's Black MAGA While Trump Wipes Black History?

Where’s Black MAGA While Trump Wipes Black History? - Mother Jones

"They want to remove information about the enslaved while honouring the enslavers.' - Garrison Hayes

Last summer, vying for the White House, Trump hailed himself as “the best resident for the Black population.” A little more than a year later, this claim has become downright unbelievable, precisely because of what he’s done.

In this video, I highlight this week’s Washington Post report on the Trump administration’s decision to remove Black historical images and markers from national parks and museums.

As someone who has covered the rise of Black support for MAGA extensively, it hit me hard: Where are those voters now that Trump is wiping this history from the books?

(the video can be found in the article.)

a few are buying IN because they (the ones 'getting paid' at least) have found there's profit to be made from selling (out) Black people and other minorities by rubber-stamping and defending racist, hate based ideology.

But the ones not being paid? Don't know what to say. about that. (Or perhaps I do, but won't.)

There's a broad base of welfare, social security, Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare, and other social service recipients, including small farmers, the middle class, and the working poor

who break ASS to go vote for a party that hasn't done much of SHIT for them, because they think they're 'owning the libs.'

...samfs.
