I think it might. My opinion is first and foremost poor black folks need money. I'm hoping switching to "America First" vs. Globalism gives some better opportunities for people in the US.
"Well, then instead of tax cuts for the super rich..." I don't disagree with this. Rich people love giving other rich people money. And everyone in our government is rich. Rich people weren't hurting under Obama. Wallstreet didn't have a problem with Hillary. I'd liked to have seen what Bernie would've done.
But with Trump, he's at least not in lockstep with the machine. Congress is still bought, but there's at least some push for variation.
We'll see how it looks in 2020. But I think the economy is the best bet for civil rights at this point.
Trump isn't for anyone but himself. Obama wasn't serving the rich nor was Hillary. I am sick of this false "either/or" narrative. Bernie ended up throwing his support behind Hillary so does that mean he is also just another rich greedy politician too?
I am so sick of the narrative that if you question big business practices you are automatically a Soviet communist. Trump is a wrecking ball not "shaking things up" but breaking things down to make it EASIER for corporations to bully workers.
You CAN be for the private sector without being for abuse. The only thing Trump did was empower bigots. He had a long history of fucking contractors and investors over long before he ran.
You cant sit there and say the economy is the best bet for civil rights then say "at least he", bullshit!
How is someone supposed to get economically stable when the president is calling you rapists, calling for bans on an entire religion, and vilifying black NFL players because they are in a position to point out a real problem in the communities they come from?
Hitler had a period of success too and as a result he took Germany down with him. AND YES in Trump's case Godwin's law DOES apply.
