Do you guys have that same experience? If you are a Trump guy, is it the opposite for you? It's never been that way with me in past years. When George W. Bush was President, I knew several supporters of him - some who I respected and liked quite a bit.
I have different experience. And I talk with tens of thousands of Black and Brown people every year. I see about 100 different people per day. minimally. My main group of people that i interact with are police, fire, teachers, lawyers, judges, other dentists, doctors, realtors, investment bankers, contractors, health workers, insurance customer service, dental and medical salespeople, service industry types when i go "out." That's pretty much my entire circle. and they are 70% (or higher) Black or Brown. In my circle at least half of them support trump. I would estimate about 60%. Its weird for me because of the White people I know, about 80% of them are liberals/democrats and literally despise Trump to the level that most of you do. Its the black and Brown folks I know that support trump. Around 50% eyeballing it.
I've seen studies and numbers that suggest Black and Brown people are afraid to admit that they like Trump. The real numbers are 5-7% higher due to shaming. And might be as high as 7-9% higher for minorities because the thought police nazi left tells us we must be liberals if we are "minorities."
Anyway, these twitter shares below took a whole 2 minutes. There are more. lots more.
To my naked eye, I think the support for trump is going to pick up steam as people in Black and Brown communities like mine begin to think outside of their comfort zone and if nothing else at least make D's "earn" their vote... Maybe you just need to get out of your own little circle a bit more??? ...AKA off of your couch and the Wiz board??
I should tell you...rather, ask you...do you know how to "get more" for "minorities?" from our so-called democratic politicians (of choice)? Do you? Here's a hint: stop giving away your fricking vote for nothing every 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!! Even if you are going to vote D no matter, at least learn to "bluff!" You might not believe it, but it just might help "the cause."
Anyway, funny anecdote...laugh all you want. but as former navy crypto tech/intelligence, I have a natural knack for picking up on pattern recognition, progressions, and combining it with both measurable and predictable intuition to form mostly reliable probability theories. And I'm not a mathematician. Hate math! This is just how my mind works. By happenstance I was given a chance to apply these skills I didn't even know I had. Which immediately landed me on the USS Parche where I earned 2 "Battle E's." and had 2 different sitting US Presidents pin them on my chest. While mobile, I could triangulate and track over 25 slow moving(less than 35 knots), long and short range targets, and more importantly predict their movement when we lost sonar tracking and almost instantaneously formulate fire control guidance solutions for each contact on command at a ridiculously high success rate(something i could likely not do as well today due to the more careful nature ive developed over time). The only kind of contact I couldn't track was some "wild coyote" type captain purposefully punching holes in the ocean randomly, just to troll. But even that guys has tendencies and somewhat of an overall course he followed due to regs and the nature of any given mission he was on. I was 3 times more accurate than a typical analog fire control team of team of 7 men. Not just any men. Parche men. by myself. In the late 80's early 90's our computerized fire control systems couldn't even track more than * contacts(sorry still classified). In fact I was so good and so fast at this that i can often get caught up in multiple sonar anomalies (which sidetrack me sometimes.) And this was just a collateral duty at battle stations in case we had to go analogue. My day job in the Navy was communications "analyzer", navigator, and anti radar "analyzer."
So yeah...laugh as loud as you want
...anyhow, you may recall, many many years ago, among other things, they called me "Stillstradaumus" on this very board. maybe you remember? i predicted the MIP 4 of years of 5 in a row and nailed the top 3 for the same 5 years. I wasn't guessing.
My mind just sees patterns in every day life. Everything. And I can use the data to usually make good decisions. Or bad decisions not so terrible. I imagine i use more math than i care to admit to myself. Part physical sciences. part human understanding. part opportunity and value recognition. Motivation recognition. and just good ol' fashioned instinct based on a ton of learning and studying of human beings and the patterns in chaos and randomness of everyday life. It all makes sense to me. quickly. I can process new and unique experiences very quickly almost simultaneously. I understood physics as i read it off the page and some of it before i finished reading the page. But I understand people even better. Thats why i was so good at basketball. I could read any player. Quickly assess weaknesses and exploit them and take away any strengths by creating angles and taking away angles. as well as a ton of nuance in skill development assessment. I knew james johnson was this kind of player 5 minutes into his first trip on the court and waited 10 years to be proven right. And I knew derrick rose was a fraud just as early and enjoyed being right on that too. i understood at a young age that being quicker and stronger and more skilled makes up for almost any disadvantage so sometimes you just gotta put in
the work and gangster a chump. then just psychologically murder them to keep them in their place. which took them off their game and gave me more confidence to execute my own game. which only further weakened their effort. And of course I was a team player type. always made the right cut, right pass, took right shot.
So, with Trump. I'm seeing some progressions develop in the media, the congress, the electorate, the twitter, the facebook, the everyday life, even here, on The Realgm. I'm clearly not alone or else the liberal controlled MSM wouldn't be so scared. 93% negative coverage...and the only thing keeping it from 99-100% negative is the token conservative they throw to the lions for 15-20 seconds here and there. MSM clearly sees the potential or liklihood that this guy( who has been swinging for the political fences) MIGHT connect at some point. And do something big and important. Or his swing for the fences philosophy might force a bunch of walks so as not to give up the hit. Enough walks on many levels that the economy and jobs market remain/improve so much that MSM cant keep ignoring it or their audience turns on them. I'll admit that he is mostly just swinging away. But he has made some solid contact already with tax reform and has the groundwork laid for daca and immigration reform/border control.
Special counsil and SDNY may have different plans. But if nothing sticks, Trump is going to come out of this with decent numbers, even without a major hit. just a few base on balls. But if he connects. This is going to become harder to hide/deny the successes.
And my intuition is telling me that when Tax reform kicks it, especially doubling the standard deduction and significantly lowering the tax rates for those making under $60K, I think Black n Brown people are going to benefit and respond. So i think his numbers will go up significantly in the next 1-2 years. Barring some complete meltdown or impeachment stuff or a complete hachet job by the left/msm/deep state, I predict his approval rating amongst Black and Brown people will approach 25% or higher (without a big hit at the plate). I think the economy will continue to do well over the next 2 years. I think he is going to get at least a mild win in NK. I think his border/immigration policy is going to
continue to keep Black and Brown people employed at the highest rates ever. and I think he is going to CONTINUE have wages on the rise. And I think he is going to get his inner city jobs growth programmed launched which will be synergistic with the stuff above. And most importantly, I think he has the nads, to once again, go into the inner cities in 2019-2020 and sell it. I also think we are going to see more and more Black and Brown politicians and I think the R's are going to find themselves a couple of unicorns.
But if this guy makes solid contact, all bets should be off for the liberal left. I predict his numbers will go way up.
anyway, because you asked
like i said, its a full rebuild.
