Biden and Trump: Choice of two bigots

By Myles Hoeing

Usually when one runs for president they hide their bigotry on the campaign trail. Claiming to be reformed, George Wallace did not rant on about segregation or the inferiority of the black man in 1972. He even won some primary states, including Democratic leaning Maryland at that time.

Lyndon Baines Johnson (LBJ) didn’t use his normal racist language when he ran in 64. It may not have been until Romney with 47% comment in 2012 against America’s poor or Hillary’s ‘deplorables’ against working class Americans who leaned towards Trump that we see outright hostilities towards groups of people. Trump is in a class on his own as he has been open from the time he became a political figure for his misogyny, racism, and overall bigotry of anyone different than him.

But how does this play out in this year’s election? We have two candidates who seem to go out of their way to push voters away who don’t approve of their Neanderthal behavior. Trump is the obvious one and the Democratic supporting media will point out every nasty statement that he has said during his presidency. They’ll even talk about his misogyny, especially how he treats women journalists. But they won’t dare to talk about his sexual predatory nature for obvious reasons.

Most women voters will not vote for him, including those that did in 2016. They truly see him for what he is. The other usual ethnic or racial groups will go the way they historically go. Blacks will go with the Democrats, but not as strongly, and Southerners will lean Republican. The Jewish vote is usually split, going upper 70s Democrat and 20s Republican. This time Trump will lose a good chunk of the 24% he won in 16 with his latest comment praising Henry Ford, a notorious supporter of Hitler and the Nazi Party during the 30s.

This with his support of the Nazi and Klan marches in Charlottesville early in his presidency will easily erode his Jewish support.  What he can count on though is that the Jewish vote will not be as strong for Biden that it normally would have.  More and more Jews, especially young ones, are moving away from supporting Israel, as well as not having the kind of political baggage their parents had. They are far more independent and usually more progressive. In a statement Biden once released while serving as senator he bragged how he was considered one of five most conservative Democrats. That hasn’t changed.

Now with Biden his true colors as a racist is coming out into the open. We’ve all known that his policies that he has pushed have been racist to the core, especially when one looks at his law and order policies. Now he has put his foot in his mouth again with his statement that if a black person doesn’t vote for him and considers Trump then they are not black. He even used a black vernacular to make this incredibly insulting remark. It wasn’t a gaff. It wasn’t dementia. It is who he is.
