I wonder if he knows that when he dies, they can't bury him with any of it? He makes presidents look like amateurs. Look at all the shit you can do as president and get away with it....
There is a strong 15 - 20% of the population that really wants a king/dictator
Where’s the talk that he’s senile, going to die in 6 months, and he sleeps in front of cameras?
Where’s the posts that he hasn’t posted in 12 hours and he’s taken his 14th cognitive test? Hes fucking tainting the jury pool. This country has convicted George Stiney and they will convict him as well.
That 15-20%. (Of white people just want to see America burn because of the demographic changes.

...YN saying ninja without saying ninja. So while you think you're creating a coalition you're really not! They want us on that frontline SO BAD!!!!
"You know if we just all band together, we can take over!!!"
We didn't create this problem!!!! Stop looking to us to fix it for you!!! You got a racist uncle that you let stay in your house and you want STRANGERS to help you get them out! Fix your fcuking house then come talk to us about a coalition!
"OHHH, Black people are marching!!! They're coming to save us!!!!" BYTCH, We're doing a 5k!!!! We ain't marching for you! You've turned a blind eye to racism for so long that now racism is no longer needed. Rich folks got this shyt on auto-pilot now. And now that it's hurting you, we're supposed to suit up??? You cheered for laws that allowed civilians to run over protestors...BLACK protestors. NOW it's: "once the rednecks and the YN's team up..." You don't respect us enough to NOT call us Ninjas!!!! Why would we get on this team?!?!?! You can't even bring yourself to respect us. It is gonna take GENERATIONS to earn trust, starting by voting for people that don't look like you, that have platforms that do nothing for you.
Team up...my ass!
Just because you broke that district full of democrats up, all that means is you put a BUNCH of democrats on top of the democrats already there in those other districts.
Yeah see I disagree.....He did say YNs but also called white folks rednecks as well....
But from my perspective, I believe he was insuating what Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party tried to do with the Rainbow Coaltion....
Unite folks of all races and economic backgrounds to come together and fight the system as a whole....
Chicago 1969: When Black Panthers aligned with Confederate‑flag‑wielding, working‑class whites

In the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump won the white vote across all demographics except for college-educated white women. He did especially well among working class white voters: 67 percent of whites without a college degree voted for him.
Some post-election analysis marveled at how the white working class could vote against its own interests by supporting a billionaire businessman who is likely to support policies that cut taxes for the rich and weaken the country’s social safety net. Since the New Deal, the Democratic Party has been seen as the party of working people, while Republicans were considered the party of the elites. Donald Trump was able to flip this narrative to his advantage. Election 2016 balkanized issues and made it seem impossible to work on racism, sexism, poverty and economic issues all at once. A core question moving forward for social justice advocates and the Democratic Party is how they can move beyond identity politics and attract working-class voters of all races, building stronger coalitions among disparate groups.
One place to look for inspiration and instruction might be 1960s social movements that understood the power of alliances across identities and issues. During this period, a radical coalition formed that might seem impossible today: A group of migrant southerners and working-class white activists called the Young Patriots joined forces with the Black Panthers in Chicago to fight systemic class oppression.
So how did this alliance form? And how can its lessons be applied to today’s political moment?
An unlikely alliance
In the post-civil rights era, a militant Black Power movement emerged, with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense forming in 1966. Inspired by Malcolm X and other international black thought leaders, the group embraced armed struggle as a potential tool against organized racial oppression – a radical break from the philosophy of nonviolent protest. A large faction of the group developed in Chicago, where one of the party leaders was a young man named Fred Hampton.We believe good journalism is good for democracy and necessary for it.
Learn moreChicago in the 1960s was a brutal place for poor people. Black, brown and white people all dealt with poverty, unemployment, police violence, substandard housing, inadequate schools and a lack of social services. Ethnic and racial groups each created their own social service and activist networks to combat every kind of oppression.
One was the Young Patriot Organization (YPO), which was based in Hillbilly Harlem, an uptown neighborhood of Chicago populated by displaced white southerners. Many YPO members were racist, and they flaunted controversial symbols associated with southern pride, such as the Confederate flag. But like blacks and Latinos, the white Young Patriots and their families experienced discrimination in Chicago. In their case, it was because they were poor and from the South.
In his short time as a Black Panther leader, Fred Hampton wanted to advance the group’s goals by forming a “Rainbow Coalition” of working class and poor people of all races.
Former members of the Chicago Panthers and YPO tell different versions of the same story of how the groups connected: Each attended the other’s organizing meetings and decided to work together on their common issues. Over time, the Black Panthers learned to tolerate Confederate flags as intransigent signs for rebellion. Their only stipulation was that the white Young Patriots denounce racism.
Eventually, Young Patriots rejected their deeply embedded ideas of white supremacy – and even the Confederate flag – as they realized how much they had in common with the Black Panthers and Latino Young Lords.
Despite many differences, the two groups united under the umbrella of economic justice. Redneck Revolt
Assumed to be natural enemies, these groups united in their calls for economic justice. In the Aug. 9, 1969 issue of The Black Panther newspaper, the party’s chief of staff, David Hilliard, admiringly called the Young Patriots “the only revolutionaries we respect that ever came out of the mother country.” Recalling his work with the YPO, former Black Panther Bobby Lee explained that “The Rainbow Coalition was just a code word for class struggle.”
In the end, the Illinois Panthers brought together various elements of the black community, Confederate flag-waving southern white migrants (Young Patriots), Puerto Ricans (Young Lords), poor white ethnic groups (Rising Up Angry, JOIN Community Union, and the Intercommunal Survival Committee), students and the women’s movement. The disparate groups under the coalition’s umbrella pooled resources and shared strategies for providing community services and aid that the government and private sector would not. Initiatives included health clinics, feeding homeless and hungry people, and legal advice for those dealing with unethical landlords and police brutality.
In 2016, a stark racial divide is exposed
Almost 50 years after the original Rainbow Coalition, the U.S. electorate remains divided along racial lines. Even though Donald Trump asked black Americans, “What do you have to lose?” by voting for him and abandoning the Democratic Party, it didn’t work: Only 8 percent of black voters (and 28 percent of Latino and 27 percent of Asian voters) cast ballots for Trump. Blacks and Latinos are well-represented in the working class, and people of color will become the majority in the working class in 2032.
A button depicts the partnership between the Young Patriots and the Black Panthers.
Much 2016 post-election attention has focused on working-class white voters, who have been characterized as “forgotten” and “angry” for being left out of the economic recovery. Yet African-Americans have been far worse off; since the 2007 recession, the unemployment rate of African-Americans is nearly double that of Hispanics and more than twice that of whites.
Hillary Clinton was the candidate who collected the most diverse voter base – the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia looked like the Rainbow Coalition redux – and she was expected to win the election. However, that visual hid racism’s residual and deeply entrenched place in U.S. society. One of the lessons of the 2016 election is that the country is not as advanced in its work on ending racism and discrimination as most would like to believe. Donald Trump did not have to do much to capitalize on this.
The Rainbow Coalition members in 1960s Chicago understood how difficult it is to build coalitions across identities. Former Black Panther Bobby Lee recalled working with the Young Patriots:
The coalition, bringing together seemingly polar opposite Black Panthers and Young Patriots, showed that real interactions allow people to understand that their struggles are not essentially different. Donald Trump probably was sincere when he invited African-Americans to join his movement. He simply didn’t realize that a glib invitation would not produce the same results as real coalition-building over a period of time.
The lesson to learn from studying 1960s social movements is that lasting change toward economic and racial justice will probably be built brick by brick, person to person and “real slow.”
Homie just missed the whole ass Kalshi ticker at the bottom!
Kalshi is Polymarket. Kalshi Politics is like having your Gamblers Anonymous meetings in Cesar's Palace. NOTHING good is coming out of this.
Duh
