Some canadians also support trump. Some of the dumbest people on earth. Like most trump supporters in general but it's maybe even dumber since they're not American. Canada just didn't do enough native genocide, slavery and racism for some people.

I live in a lower class neighborhood near a freeway interchange in a city close to the Texas/mexico border. My neighborhood is mostly poor Hispanics, with some poor blacks, and a few poor whites. Laborers mostly. It is full of trump signs. There are Trump signs in front of white folks houses, but also in front of the homes of Mexican immigrant families and blacks too. Two of my neighbors don't speak English, and have that stupid trump punisher sticker on their work truck.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but it just perplexes the shit out of me. Good propaganda? Lacking of critical intelligence to see the forest for the trees? Youth lead exposure? It's hard to be part of a neighborhood that wants to sell itself out.

It ducks when the democrats are so incompetent (we know why that is, of course). There is no left wing leadership or movement you can even gesture toward, so everything needs to be explained manually. I think that he new generation of AES/Zohran/ DSAers will change this (not in a revolutionary direction ofc, but in a "here's is something that isn't pure fascism as an alternative, even if I disagree on many things" direction).

I have encountered similar sentiments in Europe. You have immigrants from Poland talking shit about Afghan and Syrian immigrants. As IF the rightwing would make ANY difference when they start to clear house.

Boggles my mind as person with immigrant roots. 0 self preservation cause they fall for basic rigthwing talking points.

I guess cause they see themselves as one of the magical good ones.

I think a large part of this is not being communist or communist adjacent, because if you are you have a framework to understand the world a lot better
