Watching ⚪️ Ppl wring their hands over the election results in Texas & Florida is frustrating bc Black ppl told y’all long ago Demographic changes wouldn’t mean the end of the GOP bc whiteness expands when threatened. It will always expand and give itself someone to “other,”
And that’s exactly what Happened. White Latinos othered Black & Brown ppl & undocumented ppl were othered in the same way LBJ talked about. ICE employs a lot Latino voters in Texas & 45 was able to create a caste system with a ladder to whiteness that he used to his advantage.
Anti Blackness is pervasive in the Cuban community & Joe Biden was seen as a “nig*er lover” that was ignoring them for Black voters. 45 weaponized that the same way ⚪️Fauxgressives did when they lashed out bc HRC was in The South talking to Black voters instead of groveling to
Them. HRC won Cuban voters Bc they were Leary of 45 after the primary against Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio ( per Carlos from Equis) then they reverted back to the racist GOP where they felt more at home. We told y’all long ago whiteness would expand and simply relying on demographic
Changes to beat back Trumpism, racism, and the GOP wasn’t gonna work. White Fauxgressives claiming these are secret progressives who voted 4 Trump bc Joe was too moderate are once again proving they don’t understand a thing about race. It’s why incremental increases to 15.00 a
Hour can pass while 45 can win the state. They would have never have voted for something that truly levels the playing field. This doesn’t threaten whiteness. This doesn’t threaten their welcome into whiteness. If ppl had listened to Black folks when we told you whiteness would
Simply expand once it was threatened by demographic changes, there wouldn’t be so many confused ppl right now. Pandering to them w/ policy won’t work bc they’ve found they can keep their place in whiteness & do things like expand minimum wage. Meanwhile Indigenous voters, Black
Voters, and several Latino communities ( they aren’t a monolith) showed up & voted for Biden. They voted Democratic up and down the ballot. These are the coalitions we need to build. These are the coalitions we need tI strengthen bc any Black person will tell you once folks get
A taste of white privilege they aren’t about to let that go so easily so we need to focus on strengthening the coalition we do have. Lastly ⚪️Fauxgrssives can kick rocks. They stay holding our lives over our heads.
