After arriving in the United States from Somalia back in 2009, Fiqy never expected to be contacted by a major political campaign—yet Trump’s team reached out, asking him to help energize Somali-American voters before the election.
He took on the task with pride. But now, as a sweeping ICE operation targets Somali communities across the Twin Cities—and after hearing the president repeat harsh, blanket remarks about Somalis—Fiqy says his support has collapsed.
Any black person supporting an outspoken racist like Trump is just fucking stupid.
I know a gay Trump supporter. He’s ecstatic about what’s going on and I know I have better people to give a shit about if he ever gets hauled away.
Why the racist comment?
Any person supporting Trump is just fucking stupid.
I don’t think it’s racist to point out that someone who is a member of a group that Trump has been explicitly racist against is extra dumb for supporting them. I don’t think anyone should support the guy but I only oppose him out of a sense of empathy and sympathy. This guy is extra dumb because he shouldn’t be a supporter out of sheer self interest.
because anybody non-white was obviously being targeted
It’s now literal US government policy that if you talk about “Equality” you will be fired by the government.
There’s a word for somebody that doesn’t support equality of rights: its a segregationist.
Well, I wouldn’t directly call it racist. It would have been the same if the Orange would have promised to sell Alaska back to the Russians and an Alaskan still voted for him.
Or a person who likes democracy and freedom voted…oh well…shit…I show myself out.
