People were upset about Trump’s win in 2016 because he ran a campaign promising to implement policies that targeted racial and ethnic minorities with state violence (and he did) not simply because he was mean or rude. In no sense is Biden’s campaign comparable. Sorry!
Biden won’t be banning Christians, arbitrarily revoking the status of white immigrants here because of natural disasters, trying to sell off white populated parts of the country or encouraging police brutality against white people. Your disappointment is not oppression.
And to those of you who think Trump’s apparent gains with Latino voters in some parts of the country absolve him of racism, I’m going to need you to read at least one (1) book about the Democratic Party in the 1930s.
