Democrats stir up racial division to seize – Latest News
Whoever posted a video on President Trump’s social media containing a racist animation of the Obamas as apes dedicated an own objective that overshadowed what in any other case would have been a great week for the administration.
It shouldn’t have needed the GOP’s solely black senator, Tim Scott, to decry the clip as racist for the post to be deleted and an apology issued by the White House.
The one-minute video reposted late Thursday night time on Trump’s Truth Social account was about voter fraud within the 2020 election, one of the president’s favourite topics. At the top, the video flashed for a break up second to a clip of the Obamas from an previous “Lion King” meme depicting Democrats as animals, and Trump as a lion.
It was clearly a mistake. Trump says he by no means watched the video by to the top, and the White House says a “staffer erroneously made the post.”
It actually doesn’t warrant the breathless media protection it’s acquired all weekend.
Dumbed down
The New York Times’ fast response squad went into overdrive, shoehorning the outrage into its foolish new “Autocracy Index” measuring how close Trump is to turning the nation into Nazi Germany.
“What motivates Trump? The answer is simple: racism,” one opinionista asserted.
The storm in a teacup helps the resistance media keep the fiction that Republicans, particularly the MAGA selection, are irredeemably racist, whereas Democrats are paragons of advantage when it comes to defending minorities.
The reality is the very reverse.
You can see the inherent racism — or is it classism — on the Democrat facet most acutely of their opposition to voter ID within the SAVE America Act, which is up for a vote within the House this week.
The Trump-backed laws will require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a picture ID to forged a poll.
Democrats have gone ballistic of their desperation to stop it.
They call it a “racist GOP voter suppression bill,” “Jim Crow 2.0” and “segregation-era tactics used to disenfranchise black voters in the South,” in accordance to Chuck Schumer, essentially the most senior Democrat within the Senate.
“Why don’t the Democrats want voter ID?” the president requested NBC in his Super Bowl halftime interview Sunday. “Because they want to cheat in elections.”
That’s it in a nutshell, and it’s why Democrat leaders from Schumer to Kamala Harris and Kathy Hochul have to resort to absurd theories to justify their opposition.

They need us to consider that minority voters — and girls — are one way or the other so dumb and incompetent that they don’t know how to procure identification to perform a primary civil responsibility. This legendary American is so unmoored from regular society that they will’t discover a DMV and don’t know how to entry the web.
“People have to understand that when we’re talking about voter ID laws,” Harris memorably babbled. “In some people’s mind, that means you’re going to have to Xerox or photocopy your ID to send it in to prove who you are. Well, there are a whole lot of people, especially people who live in rural communities, who don’t — there’s no Kinkos, there’s no OfficeMax near them.”
Hochul as soon as went as far as to say black youngsters in The Bronx have no idea the phrase “computer.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin thinks girls are additionally too silly to get an ID, saying the SAVE act “might violate the 19th Amendment, which gives women the right to vote because you’ve got to show that all of your different IDs match so if you are a woman that’s gotten married and you’ve changed your name to your husband’s name . . . now your current name is different.”
Tale of two IDs
It’s laughable. Expecting people to show they’re American residents earlier than they register to vote is the naked minimal in election security. Democrats have by no means defined why they inspired all these unlawful migrants beneath Biden to register to vote after they bought driver’s licenses. (The licenses are one other story).
The solely conceivable cause to register ineligible voters is to harvest their fraudulent votes, one thing Democrats guarantee us by no means occurs, even whereas it does.
An equally important safeguard towards fraudulent voting is requiring people to current ID on the poll box. But Democrats faux that’s simply too laborious for his or her helpless voters.
A traditional vox pop by New York “guerilla journalist” Ami Horowitz, which resurfaced on X final week, illuminates how these patronizing attitudes of white liberals examine to the truth for black voters in Harlem.
The liberals quizzed on the UC Berkeley campus mindlessly echo Democrat speaking factors. They inform Horowitz voter ID legal guidelines are “racist,” “a way to perpetuate racism”; “minority voters are less likely to have the kinds of IDs . . . required:; “These type of people don’t live in areas with easy access to DMVs”; “You have to have access to the internet [and] be able to pay an internet service provider”; “[minorities] don’t have the knowledge of how it works”; “a lot of people have smart phones but might not have data”; “They’re not informed.”
Horowitz then went to East Harlem and requested black people on the road how they felt in regards to the feedback.
The response was bafflement, amusement and a little umbrage. All of them had ID and knew the place the closest DMV was on one hundred and twenty fifth Street. They described the liberal feedback as “very, very ignorant” and “a little racist,” and none of them had a drawback with exhibiting ID to vote.
“Why would they think we don’t have ID?”
“I have ID and my friends have their ID. We know what we need to carry around.”
“Everyone that I know have ID. That’s one of the things you need to walk around in New York with: ID.”
“Is this a trick Candid Camera question?”
“No access to the internet! That’s just stupidity, honestly.”
“Everyone has access to the internet. Even a little kid can figure out how to work the internet.”
“I have unlimited data. I use my phone as a hotspot.”
Low expectations
This gentle bigotry of low expectations amongst Democrats accords with a 2019 paper within the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology that discovered liberals dumb down their language and current as much less competent when talking to black audiences, whereas conservatives don’t change the way in which they converse.
“This possibly unintentional but ultimately patronizing competence-downshift suggests that well-intentioned liberal Whites may draw on low-status/competence stereotypes to affiliate with minorities.”
It fits Democrats to perpetuate ugly racist stereotypes to keep away from accountability from the voters.
They cowl up by inventing fanciful tales portraying Republicans as racists and white supremacists — just like the Jussie Smollett hoax, the “very fine people” lie they nonetheless inform about Trump, and their complete Jan. 6 narrative. It’s a smokescreen to disguise the guilt of the unique pro-slavery social gathering.
The actual cause Democrats foment racial division is as a divide-and-conquer strategy to seize political energy — and keep it eternally.
It’s about time we stop falling for his or her hoaxes.
