Why are (some) Black ppl being nostalgic about Trump? Make it make sense!

Like this man wasn't the most openly racist/anti-black President of our lifetimes so far...
Like he didn't put the battery in the backs of racists (moreso)...
Like he didn't appoint racist, white supremacist anti-black judges to the Supreme Court for lifetime appointments...
Like he didn't do more damage to black people with some of his legislation behind the scenes then any president in recent history with near destruction of voting rights, gerrymandering, etc...
Like he didn't allow the coronavirus to spread like crazy after he and his crew discovered that it was disproportionately affecting black people more than any other demographic in America...
Like he wasn't posting racist, anti-black (and fake) crime statistics on his Twitter account before he was President...



Family I am.TIRED.
Recently I've been seeing a lot of black people in various parts of the Internet saying that they want trump back and they would support his next presidential run and I don't even know what to say anymore.

Some of them have really been convinced that the media made trump's racism more than what it was and that we have "trump derangement syndrome" for even pointing this out.

They all come back to the same thing "we was getting money when trump was in office".

Give it enough time, and people will get nostalgic and push revisionist history over anything.

You even got people doing it for George Bush and he hasn't even been out of office for 20 years yet.

Because we are addicted to entertainment and Trump is entertaining.

I'm as leftist as it gets on this board and I'm well aware of the damage he has done but he can be funny as hell and that's all a lot of people care about. That and "getting money".

I've seen a lot of Black folk giving Trump credit because some people were able to take advantage of gaps in the PPP loan approval process.

Breh you hit the nail on the head about nostalgia in this country its borderline mental illness

Just like on here you had mfers being nostalgic about some goddamn burger king restaurants and services like….what the hell has gone wrong in your life you reminisce over that bullshyt

At one point Bush was the most hated man in Black America

Politics is really a joke

 

[Luke Cage]

There's black people that are nostalgic about jim crow era segregation.
People be stupid sometimes

 

[Child_Of_God]

People get nostalgic over just about anyone or anything, no matter how harmful or stupid that particular person/event was. 20 years from now people are going to be reminiscing about Covid.

They're Black fine, but to exactly which demographic? Education level and work experience etc..
Trump was criminal and thugged out no doubt, and some people find that appealing.

 

[Elim Garak]

They have no actual reason they can tell you lol.

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

there’s been a slight rightward shift with black folks Particularly black men and it’s been sad to witness. This is correlated with black people income falling.

This is going to destroy us all

I have as well.
Getting some PPP loan money doesn't circumvent the long lasting damage the Trump administration did to America...
