It rubs me the wrong way to see folk blaming Comey's letter for Trump while ignoring that voters of color didn't buy Comey or DT's bullshit.
-
-
Also until you can explain why Comey only affected the vote tally in the swing states by just enough to tip them red, have a damn seat.
-
Did Comey also purge Black voters from the rolls and make the SCOTUS dismantle the VRA? Is he painting swastika graffiti all over America?
-
Black women had access to the same fake ass news White voters in the Rust Belt had, so why didn't 93% of us fall for it? I'll wait....
-
You can't blame GOP/Russian propaganda for the election results without acknowledging that said misinformation was tailored to White people.
-
If you're gonna blame White ppl for being propagandized by Comey, you have to blame the White MSM that conspired to turn a handsome profit.
-
If you're blaming fake news in general, why are you also giving the folk who willfully consume and propagate misinformation a free pass?
-
Bottom line is these people were efficiently propagandized b/c they wanted to be. America incentivizes brainwashing of the White community.
-
Marginalized people keep warning y'all about this, but you don't wanna believe fat meat is greasy.
-
Since we're blaming Comey for tricking White ppl in 2016, lets also blame the swift boat vets for 2004, and the personality police for 2000.
-
There's ALWAYS a convenient excuse for White voters (specifically) making stupid ass decisions with their votes. Hindsight is gullible af.
-
The take home here is voting under the influence of fake ass news is a privilege afforded to ppl who won't be oppressed after the election.
-
Sure, they're gonna lose their SS and Medicare now, but they don't GAF because they won't be accosted in public for what they look like.
-
Nobody's shouting slurs at them or painting swastikas on their kids' school. They have the luxury of believing Russian bullshit on
@FoxNews. -
Never forget that the
@GOP's been interfering in American elections/suppressing Black votes far longer than Russia. http://shareblue.com/the-republican-party-knows-something-about-rigging-elections/#.WBDuovwuD5s.twitter …pic.twitter.com/vM67rnQBQ9

Never forget that the MSM ignored the hatred behind Trump's success long before they propagated Comey's lies. http://m.dailykos.com/story/2016/10/09/1578361/--He-tells-it-like-it-is-The-privileged-politics-of-personal-insult …pic.twitter.com/OHi8ElCdkC

Folk would rather be labeled gullible and brainwashed than racist/sexist, but lack insight to understand all of the above are unacceptable.
-
"I'm sorry I ushered in fascism because I was brainwashed by racist fake news" is NOT a good excuse. It makes you look deplorable.
-
Blaming Comey and Russia does nothing to change the fact that the racist
@GOP has been disenfranchising Black ppl and governing by Jim Crow. -
The same White folk excusing themselves for voting Trump have similarly irrational excuses for voting
@GOP for the last FIFTY YEARS. -
These ppl have willfully ignored the inherent racism/sexism of the
@GOP platform for decades. Comey wasn't their 1st taste of propaganda. -
Stop making excuses for your ignorance and hatred, Amerikkka.
-
Let me give you an example, right now Joe Manchin is threatening to shut the govt down b/c the
@GOP is throwing coal miners under the bus. -
These same coal miners told HRC and
@TheDemocrats to fuck off b/c she wasn't espousing White Nationalism. Now they have no safety net. -

In other words, the WWC won't marry the Democratic Party, but will sneak out for quickies in the car if necessary. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2016/12/09/red-state-democrats-flirt-with-a-brief-government-shutdown-over-coal-miners-healthcare/?utm_term=.ddc484a725e2&wpisrc=nl_politics-pm&wpmm=1 …pic.twitter.com/6ZufdbMsOU
-
Rather than choose the big tent/embrace diversity on Election Day, they voted their feigned supremacy but still expect a bailout. Privilege.
-
It isn't economically rational for the WWC in the Rust Belt and Appalachia to vote
@GOP but they repeatedly do it anyway b/c tribalism. -
It also isn't rational for them to believe fake ass news, but they do it anyway b/c the messengers are White and espousing bigotry/misogyny.
-
Explore the full circle of how propaganda works and who it works on before you use it as an excuse. It doesn't end at innocent gullibility.
-
The WWC shot its own self in the foot because they thought they were shooting everyone they hate double, just like Trump promised he would.
