Trump Campaign Had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA what “Juneteenth” was or is or how it might be significant
I you had shaken any member of the TRUMP campaign out of their slumber - and asked the following"
“What day is Juneteenth?”
- June 13th
- June 14th
- June 15th
- June 16th
- June 17th
- June 18th
- June 19th
THEY WOULD NOT KNOW !
… and if you told them that it was the name for a big fancy Teenagers dance in June - most of the GOP knuckleheads would say …uh … yeah I think my cousin went to one of those!

“They expected some blowback, they were caught off guard by the intensity of it."
Why do these people even exist if they are that clueless?
Meanwhile…

Million people request tickets for the Saturday Night Rally in Tulsa,
Oklahoma!
15, 2020
Does this even seem real? Do one million people suddenly want to leap from their cool and cozy homes and travel cross country to visit a 20K venue in the heat of summer shelling out the bucks in the process?
Will I have enough question marks to get through this day?
Inquiring minds want to know.

The reasons are self-evident: Historically ignorant, indifference to sowing division, unrepentant defiance, and proud bigotry.

Barry Goldwater gave birth to the current iteration of the GOP when he won the nomination in 1964, but Ronnie’s little excursion to Philadelphia, Mississippi was its coming out party. I could continue the analogy into the drunken degeneracy and febrile senility stages of life, but that would be too depressing. Let’s just enforce the Do Not Resuscitate instead.

It’s about the only definition of “winning” that they have and can cling to now.

Their dog whistles are breaking thanks to the GOP’s overt assault on our experimenting with Democracy. The big dollar/big data oligarchs don’t like real “Big D Democracy”, too much accountability. They prefer using their national media outlets to push their lies and obfuscation wrapped in the thinnest veneer of fairness and patriotism. It’s not about idealism or morality or any thing else. They suffer from the Love of Money ( and the power it affords them) . It’s what they covet more than anything else in this world. Take their financial resources away and what do they have? A national conservative circle jerk. We must stop funding corporate oligarchs simply because it’s easy and we’re being lazy… This is where we are at this moment. Our representative system of governance has been co opted and broken intentionally by a broken amoral political party that creates constant chaos specifically to maintain political power. We must now vote with our dollars. Every dollar you spend is a vote towards or away from a wholly corporate owned America. Spend with awareness now and we can collectively change our shared future.

What surprises me is that they backed down from the Juneteenth date, considering they chose that day in order to generate maximum controversy and gin up their racist base in the first place.

every ad for congressional GOP primary I’ve watched featured Pelosi and/or AOC, Sanders as Dem liberal boogeymen. None had Biden…

This is the vicious racist version of a bunch of punk jocks ever-so-cleverly having middle fingers discreetly extended in their group photo for the yearbook. They thought they and their friends would laugh up their sleeves about it and all the other dullards in the world would fail to notice because nobody had ever before dreamed of doing such a clever, naughty thing.

I worry about voter suppression making states that could go blue end up slightly red. https://www.270towin.com/
If it weren’t for that, i think we could see something like 406-132.
And who the hell knows what the pandemic is going to do in terms of voting, but the likely hood of polling places being shut down in areas that vote blue and huge lines and other issues are something i would bet on, just like the GA primary.

When you realize you put a target on your back and the protestors might make your rally more nuclear than conventional.

It’s the young uns, for whom conservative messaging is becoming anathema.
But note this:
The youngest U.S. adults, those ages 18 to 29, have the harshest assessment of the message Trump has been delivering about the protests. About three-quarters (76%) of those ages 18 to 29 say his message has been wrong, including close to half (48%) who say it has been completely wrong. Just 22% say it has been right.
Three out of 4 young Americans say Trump’s message has been wrong, with just about half saying it’s been completely wrong.
What’s more, the new Pew polling also finds that an extraordinary 80 percent of those young Americans support the Black Lives Matter movement, 54 percent of them strongly .

Who could have predicted that actively racist dog whistles would have negative consequences. It’s not like racism and corona-virus have anything in common…
