RE: Fact vs Alternative Fact

Is it just my perception or are people in crypto are mostly pro-trump? To me you seem to be in a minority. That said I do hope that Trump doesn't become our president once again.

What I don't understand is the Latino vote that seems to favor Trump. They seem to understand that he is against their kind, but they miss the good old times pre pandemic and seem to be voting with their pockets?

Sort:  

Yes, most crypto people are pro Trump. They generally like de-regulation. They like Elon who has become a Trump crony and equally unhinged. These are all facts.

Not just Latino vote some of the black votes in the south is also leaned Trump. There are good reasons for it. I don’t know if you listen to podcasts but I recently listened to a very well researched piece; do take a listen

I hope the link works.

If that doesn’t here is the YouTube link

Listen to it if you have time. It is incredibly well done. If you don’t know about the South, this will help. I am hopeful we will pull our weight in the south. That said, we have to do a lot more for the people in the upcoming years.

I did listen to it and it is very well done. I learned some new things like the black voters feel betrayed by Obama and that the border-line legal gimmick that Trump did with putting his name on stimulus checks actually worked big time for him with the black community.

I remember Obama's first acceptance speech with hope. I remember crying most of that speech, I was so moved. I believed every word, and cheered him with every "yes we can!" Yet after two terms I have seen a whole lot of things that I expected will change didn't. He didn't have the support of the congress most of his second term and he couldn't do a lot of things he wanted to do. Nothing happened to me me personally, I am not in a economic group where politicians matter that much. However, many people, black people have their heart broken, and this is true.

Then people from middle america, the hill billies, raged a grass root movement of hate which was very successful, I must say. They said to like minded people that "when you put a black man at the white house, this is what happens". So we got Trump. He destroyed a lot of things this country have created over the years. It is often easy to destroy and not easy to create.
